About Pilotbase

Pilotbase powers the world’s flight training ecosystem, supporting over 1,400 flight schools and tens of thousands of pilots through and beyond training each year. We are expanding our Pilot Experience Solutions, a connected system that brings together flight schools, pilots, and industry partners into a single, data-driven network. This next phase of growth is focused on expanding within our existing customer base, reaching pilots directly, and creating new revenue streams across the ecosystem.

LogTen, Pilotbase’s digital pilot logbook designed for professionals, is one of our primary ways of supporting pilots after training as they track their activity, progress their career, and maintain their numerous requirements as a pilot.

Job Overview

As our Senior Software Engineer on our Pilot Experience Solutions, you’ll own product experiences that follow pilots across the full arc of their journey, from students logging their first training flights to career aviators tracking certifications, currency, and thousands of flight hours. You’ll work across our React Native and native iOS applications, with particular focus on the offline-first architecture and data synchronization that keep our solutions reliable in the cockpit and on the ramp, connected or not. This is a high-ownership, high-agency individual contributor role: you’ll be trusted to make architectural calls, ship independently, and raise the technical bar for the engineers around you, with AI tools and workflows as a default part of how you build.

Own the offline-first architecture and data synchronization layer that keeps pilots’ logbooks accurate and available with or without connectivity
Partner with product and design to translate pilot training and career milestones into shipped, customer-facing functionality
Make high-judgment architectural and technical decisions independently, with minimal oversight
Use AI tools and agentic workflows as a default part of how you plan, build, test, and ship
Mentor and influence other engineers on the team, raising the bar on code quality, technical judgment, and AI-assisted development practices
Collaborate with internal stakeholders and pilots directly to understand real-world logging, training, and career-tracking needs, and translate that feedback into product decisions.
Write clean, well-tested, maintainable code across mobile and backend
Continuously evaluate and improve how our solutions are built, deployed, and monitored
