  • digital paths that push past the expected. We stand with those who dream bigger,
  • fly farther, and seek to explore the next frontier in the cockpit and operations

  • A successful candidate is customer-obsessed and comfortable being the technical

  • implementation, from onboarding through production go-live and handoff to
  • support. You're equally comfortable configuring software, walking a customer

  • documents (e.g., OFP vs. Crew List ordering), incomplete "Additional topics
  • to retain" settings, and file-size limits on journey logs
  • Edit and redeploy XML configuration files for Aviator/JDM Pro, and
  • troubleshoot how upstream flight-planning vendors author values into the OFP
  • XML, including translator and field-mapping logic (e.g., discretionary fuel
  • authored as ExtraFuel with reason="Discretionary," RVSM/DF value

calculations)

  • Triage each reported issue to determine whether it's a software defect
  • requiring a dev fix and release, a configuration change you can make
  • directly, or a third-party data-authoring issue on the customer's own
  • flight-planning system that you can't fix but must explain clearly
  • Manage and track implementation projects in Salesforce, keeping status
  • current and reporting on On-Time Performance; file and track engineering
  • defects in Jira, and work with vendor service desks (e.g., for FliteBrief

issues) as needed

  • Conduct customer-facing familiarization training on product features and

workflows

  • Coordinate test-and-evaluation to production transitions, including

validation testing with customers

  • Request, review, and interpret device/app log files and screenshots to gather

diagnostic evidence and root-cause issues before escalating

  • Coordinate customer participation in beta/TestFlight builds to validate

fixes, and set expectations against specific upcoming release versions

  • Partner with Product, Support (DSOC), and other internal teams to resolve

configuration issues and escalations during implementation

  • Communicate clearly with customers and internal stakeholders throughout each

project, managing expectations and building long-term relationships

  • Travel to customer sites on occasion, as needed

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

  • 3+ years of relevant experience in software implementation, customer

onboarding, or a related customer-facing technical role

third-party data authoring, including translator and field-mapping logic

between flight-planning vendors and our products

  • Experience diagnosing complex, multi-document electronic package structures

(e.g., Electronic Flight Folder/Topic-based document assembly), including

sequencing, inclusion, and file-size issues

  • Willingness to learn and apply AI-powered tools to accelerate implementation
  • work, such as comparing and drafting XML configuration changes, triaging log
  • files and diagnostic evidence, and drafting first-pass responses across
  • multiple concurrent customer threads; prior hands-on experience with AI tools

is a plus

  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, comfortable presenting to

and training customers

  • Strong critical thinking and troubleshooting skills, including the judgment
  • to triage whether an issue is a software defect, a configuration change, or a
  • third-party data-authoring issue, and to resolve it or explain it to the

customer clearly

  • Ability to manage multiple concurrent projects and prioritize independently

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

  • Experience in airline operations, flight dispatch, or aviation technology
  • Current or former pilot experience is a strong plus
  • Experience with system integrations (API, SFTP) or IT/network concepts

(firewall whitelisting, environment setup)

  • Comfort working across multiple ticketing/defect-tracking systems (e.g.,
  • Jira, vendor service desks) in addition to a CRM, and translating a
  • customer-reported symptom into a well-formed engineering ticket
  • Background in client or account management, with the ability to translate

customer needs into technical configuration

  • Experience supporting or implementing electronic flight bag (EFB) or flight

planning/dispatch software

  • Comfort working across time zones with international customers
