About us

TrustFlight is at the forefront of digitising the aviation industry with the creation of intelligent workflow applications that automate operating and maintenance processes, enabling our customers to focus on the data and insights that matter. TrustFlight has bases in both England (London & Leamington Spa) and Canada (Vancouver). Our business is rapidly expanding, and we’re proud to share that we’re entirely self-funded and consistently profitable. This is your opportunity to contribute to a thriving environment and make an impact as we continue to achieve new heights!

Not only are we disrupting the sector, we are creating a great place to work that gives our people the freedom to create, innovate and influence how we do this. We continue to build an amazing group of people who are all here to make our products, services and culture the most envied in the industry!

We are looking for skilled Software Engineers to support our efforts to transform and re-architect a very successful SaaS platform. The project requires modernising the backend to aggressively optimise performance, migrate to .NET 7 and make the platform more modular, whilst facilitating redevelopment of the frontend in JavaScript/React. In addition to the re-architecture, you will work alongside data engineers who will design data capture strategies to create new services. You will also work alongside AI engineers to upgrade digital workflows to become more highly automated with augmented decision support for our customers.

Alongside the re-architecture work, you will also support our existing team with day to day maintenance work on our existing platform.

Your role will inspire fresh ideas that encourage us to continuously learn and improve, allowing us to elevate our platform and bring out its full potential, making the aviation industry a more efficient and safer place to be. TrustFlight values leadership and performance as paramount within our team culture. In every role, we seek individuals who embody strength in leadership, are driven by objectives, and champions in exceeding expectations, inspiring those around them.
