Software Engineer I - Columbus, United States - Israel Aerospace Industries

Description

ForeFlight is looking for a software developer to join our Data Team in Austin. 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.

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.
