Senior Software Engineer

Our core competencies include systems engineering, program management, logistics, production support, aircraft maintenance, and aviation/aerospace services. We were founded in 2015 and since our establishment, we have been attracting the best talent in our fields of interest enabling us to provide cutting‑edge solutions and support to our warfighters. We understand and provide expert consultation on weapons systems acquisition programs, maintenance/modernization programs, and sustainment programs.

We know defense and we know aircraft systems.

Albers Aerospace is reimagining how knowledge work gets done at our corporate headquarters by building AI systems that carry out internal business processes end to end. We are seeking a senior engineer to lead this effort – someone who works shoulder to shoulder with the people who run our business, understands their workflows in depth, and rapidly turns new requests into working software.

Using AI‑assisted development tools such as Claude Code, this engineer will move from idea to deployed implementation in days rather than months, then deploy and operate that software securely in the cloud. This is a high‑touch, high‑ownership role for an engineer who wants their work measured by the business processes they transform, not just the code they ship.

• Design, develop, deploy, and maintain custom internal applications, services, and AI‑enabled tools that automate business processes and reduce manual effort across the organization.
• Utilize AI‑assisted software development platforms such as Claude Code and other large language model (LLM)-based tools to accelerate solution development, improve engineering productivity, and rapidly deliver business capabilities.
• Lead rapid prototyping efforts by converting business concepts into working software solutions within days, validating requirements through iterative stakeholder feedback and continuous improvement.
• Architect and implement integrations between internal applications, ERP systems, databases, APIs, document repositories, and third‑party business systems to create seamless end‑to‑end workflows.
• Design and develop AI‑powered agents, workflow automation tools, and decision‑support systems capable of executing business tasks autonomously within defined governance, compliance, and security guardrails.
• Evaluate emerging AI technologies, frameworks, and development methodologies to continuously improve automation capabilities and organizational effectiveness.
• Create scalable, maintainable, and secure software solutions using Ruby on Rails and modern software engineering practices.
• Establish and maintain application architecture standards, coding practices, and technical patterns that support long‑term maintainability, scalability, and operational reliability.
• Develop and maintain automated testing frameworks, CI/CD pipelines, and deployment processes that enable rapid and reliable software releases.
• Deploy, configure, monitor, and maintain applications within Microsoft Azure environments, including Azure Container Apps and supporting cloud infrastructure.
• Troubleshoot production issues, perform root cause analysis, and implement corrective actions to ensure high system availability, performance, and user satisfaction.
• Collaborate closely with IT, Cybersecurity, and Compliance teams to ensure all applications adhere to corporate security policies and applicable government requirements.
• Ensure proper handling, storage, transmission, and protection of Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) in accordance with NIST SP 800‑171 and related cybersecurity standards.
