Why you'll love this job

• Because you're creative, tenacious ​and strategic. You ​love ​to solve ​problems and earn respect.
• Because you're multidimensional: able to analyze ​a problem, ​dream up ​the best solution, ​design programs & processes, document your ​own requirements, ​specs & testing plans, ​do the coding, run the QA, ​implement the ​project, and communicate ​to the users, management & future ​programmers. You ​like to do it all ​and see projects ​through to completion.
• Because ​you'll get to shape ​the future of AA ​Flight Training ​as we modernize our code base ​into Azure and ​introduce a ​new ​Success Factors LMS & mobile app, ​for starters. You ​like ​having ​an impact and a voice in ​making things more efficient ​and effective.
• Because ​you understand American ​Airline's cybersecurity ​policies and coding ​best ​practices, and are ​comfortable & proactive with standards.
• Because you've got a deep ​curiosity and ​love both the technical and human elements ​in a ​field like flight ​training. You ​can ​work alone or with a ​team. You are ​maverick ​enough ​to enjoy working directly in ​the business unit as this position is not ​part of the IT department.
