Software Engineer, Digital Operations

How you will contribute to revolutionizing electric aviation

• Embed directly with business teams across BETA to identify, scope, and solve operational and technical problems
• Design, develop, and deploy full-stack web applications, internal tools, and APIs that address real business needs
• Leverage AI and LLM technologies to accelerate development and build intelligent workflows for the teams you support
• Translate complex, ambiguous requirements from non-technical stakeholders into clear technical designs and working solutions
• Assess technical feasibility of proposed requirements and communicate tradeoffs clearly to stakeholders
• Resist the pull toward immediate solutioning - spend time in the problem space alongside business teams before defining technical approaches
• Partner with core product teams to define graduation paths for solutions, ensuring FDE's work lands somewhere it can be maintained and grown
• Connect the dots across engagements, surfacing recurring needs, gaps, and opportunities that FDE can compile into clear signals back to product and platform teams
• Maintain technical documentation to facilitate knowledge transfer and long-term adoption of solutions
• Take smart risks, own the outcomes, and share what you learn (wins and failures alike) so the team gets better with every engagement.
