Job Description

Navi captures everything a pilot sees and hears and turns it into automated debrief intelligence — sortie-level awareness that has never existed before. You're building the platform that makes that happen.

About the role

This is a founding engineering role. You'll own entire systems end to end — the backend and data pipelines that power Navi's AI, the interfaces instructors and squadron commanders depend on daily, the architecture decisions that take this company from startup to aviation standard. Your code ships to university flight schools and military squadrons. Nothing here is theoretical. Navi is live at Embry-Riddle, Purdue, UND, Sling Pilot Academy, and the United States Air Force.

What you'll do

  • Build and scale the backend and data infrastructure that powers Navi's AI platform

  • Work directly with pilots, instructors, and military operators to build tools that work in the cockpit and the classroom

  • Integrate flight dynamics, telemetry, and cockpit audio into intelligent debrief and training systems

  • Make the architecture calls that define how Navi scales — the frameworks, the infrastructure, the technical bets

  • Ship code that goes live in aircraft — then iterate on real operator
