Most of the industry is still running on paper forms, clipboards, and “I think Dave knows where that record is.” We’re replacing that mess with something that actually works, and we’re using AI where it saves real time instead of where it just sounds impressive in a pitch deck.We’re early-stage and founder-led, with the platform already deployed and being used by real maintenance shops and aircraft owners. The backend and data model are in decent shape. What we’re missing is someone who cares about the part people actually have to look at and click on every day — and who doesn’t mind having a bit of fun while doing it.We’re looking for a frontend (or fullstack) engineer with strong UX instincts to own the user-facing layer. You’ll take designs (or sometimes just “make this not suck”) and turn them into interfaces that feel obvious instead of confusing.What you’ll actually do hereOwn the experience on both sides of the platform: the dense, get-it-done tooling that shops use to run maintenance, and the clear, trustworthy view that aircraft owners get when they want to know what’s going on with their plane.Design for two very different audiences — mechanics who want speed and density, and owners who mostly want to not feel stupid or anxious.Build core operational workflows that maintenance shops actually use every day — things like work order management, scheduling aircraft through the shop, staying ahead of upcoming maintenance and compliance items, coordinating parts, and turning the digital logbook into something mechanics will actually use instead of just tolerate.Turn designs (and sometimes vague direction) into clean, production-ready React that doesn’t fall apart in real use.Make complicated maintenance and compliance data legible to both 20-year mechanics and people who think “airworthiness directive” sounds like a legal threat.Ruthlessly improve existing screens — the small interaction details that separate “this is fine” from “why is this so annoying?”Work against a GraphQL API (with the option to go fullstack if that’s your thing).What we’re looking forStrong React + TypeScript. You can take ownership of a feature and ship it without needing constant supervision.Real UX judgment. You’ve taken messy or half-baked requirements and turned them into interfaces that actually make sense to humans.You instinctively design for “management by exception” — surface the things that matter and get the boring stuff out of the way.Experience building data-dense, operational, or B2B tools (not just marketing sites or simple CRUD apps).Solid responsive design skills. The same interface needs to work on a shop desktop, a tablet in the hangar, and an owner’s phone.You take testing seriously. We don’t have a QA team, so you own the quality of what ships (unit, integration, and E2E — Playwright/Cypress/etc.).You already use AI tools while coding and know how to get value out of them without shipping interfaces that look like they were generated by a committee of interns.You’re comfortable in a fast-moving, early-stage environment where priorities shift and you’re expected to make decisions.Self-directed. You can take a goal, ask the right questions, and run with it.You bring some personality and don’t mind a bit of irreverence.
