Job Description Our Aerospace & Defense business helps the world's leading airlines, MROs, OEMs and defense operators keep complex fleets and platforms mission-ready - managing the full maintenance, asset and service lifecycle at scale. We are reimagining how that software is built and delivered around AI, and we are investing in engineers who can put AI to work both inside our products and in how we build them. You operate forward deployed - working shoulder-to-shoulder with A&D customers in their own environments - to ship AI-powered mobile capabilities that connect IFS to the systems that run their operations. This is a Principal-level role: you are the person others build toward, setting technical direction across product groups, carrying deep expertise in Applied AI and Forward Deployed Engineering, and taking end-to-end ownership with a you-build-it, you-run-it mindset - from design and development through testing, deployment and operational reliability in the field. What you'll do • Shape our next-generation mobility solution. Help define and deliver the next-generation mobile experience for aviation maintenance - a fast, reliable, field-ready product that engineers trust to do their most critical work, including where connectivity is constrained. • Build AI into the product. Design and ship AI-powered product capabilities - model integration, prompt engineering, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), agentic architectures and the evaluation harnesses and MLOps that keep them reliable in production. You build AI systems, not just use them. • Use AI to build the product. Treat AI-assisted development and agentic tooling as core engineering capability. You raise the bar for how the team builds - measurably faster and better - and set the standard others adopt. • Deploy forward. Embed with Aerospace & Defense customers to deploy, integrate and harden solutions in their environment. You connect IFS to the systems that run their business - ERP, CRM, IoT, telemetry, and legacy and mission systems - and own the solution architecture in real customer context, under real-world constraints. • Own delivery end to end. Design, develop, test, deploy and operate across the full stack in modern general-purpose languages. You own quality through automated testing, manage delivery through CI/CD, and ensure operational reliability in cloud, edge and mobile environments. • Lead as a Principal. Drive technical strategy across product groups, make the architecture and shipping-quality calls others defer, mentor engineers, and lift the AI and forward-deployment practice of the wider organisation. Represent IFS credibly in front of customers and partners. • Anchor to the customer. Ground technical decisions in direct customer evidence and business value. You understand the A&D domain deeply enough to know which problems are worth solving and how AI changes the answer. Qualifications Essential • Demonstrated, hands-on experience leveraging AI for building products - using AI-assisted and agentic development tooling as a core part of your workflow - and for building AI within products - shipping production AI capabilities using ML integration, prompt engineering, RAG, agentic architectures, evaluation and testing, and MLOps. • Mobile engineering: a proven track record building and shipping production mobile applications, with the depth to set the technical direction for a mobile product. Native iOS development experience is strongly preferred given this role's focus on our next-generation aviation-maintenance mobility solution. • Principal-level impact: a proven track record as a recognised technical authority who drives strategy and delivery across multiple teams or product groups, with the depth to operate as a role model in the most complex, large-scope work. • Forward-deployed strength: substantial experience deploying, integrating and operating enterprise software directly in customer environments, including integration with ERP, CRM, IoT and legacy systems, and owning solution architecture in customer context. • Full-lifecycle engineering: strong foundations across the delivery lifecycle - design and development, quality and testing, cloud and DevOps, and security - with proficiency in modern general-purpose programming languages beyond any single domain framework. • Leadership and ownership: end-to-end ownership with a you-build-it, you-run-it mindset, excellent communication with technical and non-technical audiences, and a track record of growing the capability of the engineers and teams around you. Nice to have • Experience working in or with Aerospace & Defense organisations, or on solutions for asset, maintenance, MRO or fleet-readiness management. • Experience with other enterprise asset management (EAM), field service or maintenance-management solutions. • Degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering or a related field, or equivalent practical experience. • Experience of agile delivery and of working with globally distributed teams. Additional Information Flexible paid time off, including sick and holiday Medical, dental, & vision insurance 401K with Company contribution Flexible spending accounts Life insurance and disability benefits Tuition assistance Community involvement and volunteering events We embrace flexibility and hybrid work opportunities to support diverse needs and lifestyles, while also valuing inclusive workplace experiences.

This team owns the infrastructure layer that every next-generation security capability is built on, from network observability to AI-driven threat detection and the secure operation of emerging Agentic AI systems. We're looking for a Staff or Principal Platform Engineer to build and operate the foundational platform behind AppGate's AI products. You combine deep DevOps and cloud infrastructure expertise with hands-on experience operationalizing AI/ML systems, and you treat observability as a first-class engineering discipline. This is a rare opportunity to join a small, private, high-impact company where your work directly shapes the architecture, reliability and core platform that defines the future of security. You'll own the platform spanning APIs, cloud and self-managed solutions and AI/ML infrastructure, and you'll make it fast, reliable and observable at scale. This is a high-leverage, hands-on role for a senior engineer who sets technical direction and still ships. Key Responsibilities Build the Platform: design, build and operate the cloud infrastructure, services and pipelines that AppGate's AI and cloud products run on. Strong experience with self-managed technologies (kafka, elasticsearch) and Kubernetes are a must. Infrastructure as Code & Deployment Orchestration: Terraform and Helm for cloud provisioning, service deployment and configuration management. Implement Observability: instrument APIs, cloud services and AI/ML infrastructure with metrics, logging, tracing and alerting, and define SLOs and operational health metrics that teams trust. Data Platform: real-time and batch data ingestion pipelines, feature stores and data quality. Integrations: third-party connectors, APIs and platform integrations. Operationalize AI/ML: build model serving and inference pipelines, experiment tracking and the MLOps tooling for deployment, versioning, drift monitoring and lifecycle management. Engineer for reliability & automation: apply SRE practices to reduce toil, improve resilience and keep latency and uptime within target across the platform. Automate everything - deliver infrastructure-as-code, CI/CD and self-service tooling so product teams ship safely and quickly. Set technical direction: define platform standards, architecture and best practices, and raise the engineering bar through design reviews and mentorship. Collaborate cross-functionally: partner with data scientists, product teams and leadership to align platform investment with AppGate's strategic vision.

Staff-level candidates typically bring 8+ years and Principal-level candidates 12+ years, though we hire on demonstrated impact. DevOps depth: strong command of infrastructure-as-code (Terraform or equivalent), CI/CD, containers and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes), and cloud platforms (AWS). Observability expertise: hands-on experience implementing observability across APIs, cloud services and distributed systems using tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, the ELK stack or comparable, including SLO and error-budget practice. Data platform skills: familiarity with real-time and batch ingestion pipelines, feature stores and data quality at production scale. Engineering craft: fluency in a primary backend language (Python, Go or similar) and a strong bias toward automation, testing and reliable, maintainable systems. Leadership: a record of setting technical direction, leading complex initiatives across teams, mentoring senior engineers, while still being very hands-on. Mindset: pragmatic, rigorous and ownership-driven. You thrive in a small, fast-moving environment and enjoy building foundations others depend on. Preferred Qualifications AI/ML infrastructure: experience building or operating model serving, inference pipelines and MLOps tooling such as MLflow, Kubeflow, SageMaker or equivalent, including model deployment, versioning and drift monitoring. Networking & Zero Trust fundamentals: working knowledge of the network and routing layer beneath modern access solutions - TCP/IP, TLS, tunneling/overlay networks, packet routing and filtering, DNS and firewalling - and familiarity with Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) or adjacent domains (VPN, SDP, SASE, software-defined networking). You can reason about traffic paths, latency and throughput end-to-end, and instrument the network as a first-class observability signal. Compensation Staff: 185k-225k base Principal: 215k-270k base We offer performance bonuses and considerable equity.
