Software Developer, Software Engineer, Backend Developer

Who we are

Hynes & Khater is an aviation technology and consulting firm built on a simple belief: the best solutions come from people who have actually lived the problems they're solving. We work inside complex, high-stakes environments — airlines, travel technology, enterprise platforms — where the margin for error is low and the pace doesn’t stop for anyone. Our team spans consulting, software development, and platform products, and we operate as true partners to the clients we serve, not vendors managing a statement of work.

We’re not a big firm. We don’t want to be. What we want is a team of people who are sharp, honest, curious, and genuinely invested in the outcome — people who make everyone around them better just by being in the room.

We’re hiring a Software Developer to build and extend the applications our clients run their operations on. That means designing web, mobile, and service-oriented solutions on top of APIs and web services — and owning the work end to end, from figuring out what the system actually needs to do through analysis, design, code, testing, and the documentation that lets someone else pick it up later.

This is not a ticket‑taking role. You’ll help define technical direction and choose the patterns we use on a project, which means the decisions you make will still be visible in the codebase years from now. You also won’t start from zero — our templates, pipelines, and patterns are productized and versioned, so the work begins at about 70% and your judgment goes into the part that’s actually specific to the client.

You’ll work across various phases of development and maintenance on approved projects, and you’ll be trusted to move a piece of work forward without someone standing over it.

The environment is real and the stakes are real. The systems you touch support airline operations, so correctness matters more than cleverness and a clear explanation matters as much as working code. You’ll partner with support and business analysts to get technical and user documentation right, and you’ll be expected to keep learning the client landscape well enough to suggest better solutions than the ones you were handed.

You’ll work inside one of our development PODs on a named client engagement, reporting to our Development capability lead.

• Design and implement web, mobile, and service‑oriented solutions built on APIs and web services — loosely coupled, instrumented, and able to deploy independently
• Participate in defining and implementing technical direction, and select the technical patterns used on your projects
• Perform and review system analysis, design, programming, testing, debugging, and documentation
• Work with support and business analysts to provide the technical documentation, user training, and manuals that go with every enhancement
• Lead or contribute to process improvement — the goal is a better way of working, not just a shipped change
• Keep building your understanding of the client landscape so you can suggest and implement solutions that hold up over time
• Manage your own phases of development and maintenance on approved projects, and communicate honestly about where they stand

Technical skills matter and we’ll get to those. But the people who thrive at H&K share some things that don’t show up on a resume.

They’re honest before they’re impressive. When they don’t know something, they say so and go find out. When something went wrong on their watch, they own it and explain what they learned. They’re not trying to manage perception — they’re trying to solve the problem.

They’re curious about the parts they don’t know yet. This environment spans application development, integration,…
