Posted by Govini on Dec 10, 2025

### Company Description

Air is the leader in Enterprise Readiness. Our mission is to establish readiness as a real-time condition that is continuously achieved. Today, a dangerous Readiness Gap exists between what the front line needs and what is delivered. Our AI-native platform, Air Enterprise Readiness, aligns development, production, delivery, and sustainment into one coordinated execution system for government agencies and industrial suppliers. By revealing true capacity, exposing real constraints, coordinating resources, and executing at the speed of operational demands, the front line gets what it needs to succeed.

### Job Description

We are seeking a skilled and dedicated software engineer to join our Engineering team. As a Software Engineer at Air, you show a clear passion for quality and love to solve client problems using technology.

In order to do this job well, you must be a curious and eager problem solver with a hunger for building well-designed, high-quality solutions within highly regulated environments. You have a passion for great work and nothing less than your best will do. You share our intolerance of mediocrity. You’re uber-smart, challenged by figuring things out and producing simple solutions to complex problems. Knowing there are always multiple answers to a problem, you know how to engage in a constructive dialogue to find the best path forward. You’re scrappy. We like scrappy.

- Actively participate in designing, building and testing scalable data architecture
- Craft clean, testable, and maintainable code
- Participate in the end-to-end software development of new feature functionality and design capabilities
- Optimize processes for maximum speed and accuracy
- Regularly seek out innovation and continuous improvement, finding efficiency in all assigned tasks

### Qualifications

- U.S. Citizenship is required
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related field, or equivalent work experience

### Required Skills

- 1+ years of software development experience with a high-level software stack
- Current possession of a U.S. security clearance, or the ability to obtain one with our sponsorship
- Ability to communicate technical information to non-technical
- Intermediate SQL development
- Strong proficiency with backend API languages such as Java/Spring Boot (preferred) or equivalent
- Experience performing meaningful tasks in Linux
- Prior hands-on experience working with data-driven analytics
- Experience working in agile/scrum teams
- Ability to work independently with little supervision
- A burning desire to work in a challenging fast-paced tech environment

### Desired Skills

- Experience working within the boundaries of a Federal government accredited software environment
- Experience in or exposure to the nuances of a startup or other entrepreneurial environment
- Experience working in a client-facing or consulting role Familiarity with Javascript/ReactJS

We firmly believe that past performance is the best indicator of future performance. If you thrive while building solutions to complex problems, are a self-starter, and are passionate about making an impact in global security, we’re eager to hear from you.
