As a Software Engineer – Application Platform, you’ll help build secure, scalable platform foundations, especially around identity, authentication, and core system design. Beyond your individual technical contributions, you’ll be expected to act as a strong engineering leader within the organization by helping shape technical direction, raising engineering standards, and influencing how teams approach complex platform challenges.

This is an opportunity to have an impact beyond the code you write. You’ll bring technical leadership to architectural discussions, help others navigate difficult engineering decisions, and lead by example through strong ownership, sound judgment, and a commitment to quality. You’ll build trust across teams by sharing knowledge, challenging assumptions constructively, and helping drive initiatives forward.

You bring strong fundamentals in authentication and security, with a clear understanding of sign-in flows, protocol choices, and how identity connects across the broader system. A disciplined testing mindset and solid cloud and deployment knowledge ensure your work is reliable, verifiable, and production-ready.

Success in this role comes from taking ownership, communicating early, sharing context, and documenting decisions clearly. You’ll help teams stay aligned, reduce friction across the platform, and contribute to a culture of engineering excellence across Trust Flight.

Development & Code Quality:

• Design and implement features and fixes using modular, low-disruption approaches that preserve system integrity and long-term maintainability

• Reason about complex, real-world data models, including multi-tenant systems, maintaining a clear mental model of how data is structured, accessed, and evolved

• Play an active role in architectural discussions, helping guide technical decisions based on system constraints, scalability, security, and future growth

• Debug and resolve complex platform issues by working directly with raw data, services, and infrastructure layers

• Uphold and help raise engineering standards through clean, maintainable code, thoughtful technical trade-offs, and strong engineering practices

• Take ownership of complex technical challenges and help drive them from ambiguity through to implementation and delivery

• Take ambiguous, high-stakes technical problems from first principles through to delivery

Testing & Quality Assurance:

• Maintain a strong testing discipline, ensuring all changes are well-covered by appropriate unit, integration, and end-to-end tests

• Advocate for and implement quality-first engineering practices, including test automation and early validation of platform changes

• Lead by example in establishing a high bar for quality, reliability, and maintainability

• Ensure reliability and confidence in releases by validating behavior across…
