Why us?
Do good. Have fun. Get wins. This is it. Maybe just the job you’ve been searching for. But it’s more than just a job.
It’s a career, it’s a calling, it’s a team intent on making some waves in the aviation industry. Some improvements, too. Yes, you’d be joining a team with a purpose and some special sauce. We’ve already assembled a solid, complementary band of industry experts, in and out of aviation, and our perspective is fresh.
We’re grinding, make no mistake, but we’re having a lot of fun doing it. So where do you come in? We’re growing. But we only have a few spots. We’re looking for teammates that bring a unique mix of skills and scrappiness. Because while we collectively have the experience of a well-established company, we’re still a startup. And we need passionate builders to keep starting up with us.
If you’re looking for something fresh, more than just a stop on your resume, something we’re building that will hopefully make your kids (and their kids) proud—then you should apply. We look forward to meeting you.
