ForeFlight is looking for a software developer to join our Data Team. This person will assist with expanding and maintaining our aeronautical data processing pipeline for charts, plates, and documents. We are looking for someone who has experience with and enjoys writing Python. Experience with one or more other programming languages is a plus. This person is naturally curious, exploring new technologies in order to stay current, but balances the use of new and old to ensure that execution is priority. Professionally, this person is driven to execute, deliver, and complete projects independently, seeking advice and direction from team members when needed, and plowing ahead to completion when the path forward is clear. Junior candidates and recent Computer Science grads are encouraged to apply. In addition to Python, we make extensive use of relational databases (Postgres and SQLite) via object-relational mappers (SQLAlchemy) and good old fashioned SQL. We deploy on AWS using technologies such as EC2, ECS, RDS, S3, and Cloudfront. We make use of GIS software including GEOS, GDAL, and QGIS. We use macOS, Linux, Docker, Git, and even a little Bash. Experience with any or all of these or similar technologies is a bonus. A pilot-coder, or individual looking to pursue his or her private pilot license, is a plus. ForeFlight produces the best-selling iPad and iPhone app for pilots flying personal and business aircraft, corporate flight departments, and aircraft operators. Customers include individual pilots worldwide, Fortune 500 corporate flight departments, state and federal agencies, leading operators, the military, and leading aircraft OEMs. We have been in the App Store since its grand opening in July, 2008 and are consistently ranked in the top 50 grossing iPad apps in the App Store. We are known for our exceptional software user interface design and responsive, customer support. ForeFlight Mobile, our flagship application, was named Aviation Consumer's 2011 App of the Year and received Flying Magazine's Editors' Choice Award for 2011, 2012, and 2013. Why You Should Join: At ForeFlight, we know you want a rewarding career. To do that, you need challenging projects, a good work environment, and awesome coworkers. We believe in our employees, and we
empower them to make a direct impact on our products and services messaging. We strive to provide ForeFlighters and their loved ones with a world-class benefits experience, focused on supporting their physical, financial, and emotional wellbeing. Our benefits package includes but not limited to the following: <ul>
