About AirNxt
AirNxt is building the next generation of AI-powered MRO software to transform aviation maintenance operations and management. Our platform is designed to be intuitive scalable and high-performance simplifying complex workflows and enhancing efficiency across the aviation industry.
As we scale were looking for passionate professionals who thrive in agile environments and are eager to solve real-world aviation challenges using cutting-edge technology and innovative solutions. If that sounds like you wed love to hear from you!
The Role
This is not a research role its a build-and-ship role. You will lead the design and implementation of AirNxts AI capabilities from document understanding to agentic workflows and early fault prediction.
Youll partner closely with our CEO and Data Architect to define what intelligent aviation software actually means in practice.
You will not be buried in infra or tooling. This role is about shipping AI systems that work in production in the real world.
What Youll Build:
Design and deploy AI workflows that turn raw maintenance documents into structured validated data
Agent-based automation workflows using LangGraph (or equivalent) orchestrating validation transformation and human-in-loop approval
Develop lightweight predictive models based on time-series or log patterns that flag potential issues before they become unscheduled events
Implement NLP LLM chains that extract meaning from technical and regulatory documents pilot logs work orders and assist in summarizing or generating checklists
Build with clear traceability fallbacks and an execution path that earns trust from ops teams and regulators
What You Bring
Youve likely done some or all of the following:
48 years of experience building and shipping real-world AI/ML systems (not just prototypes or research)
Strong Python developer with ability to own services end-to-end
Hands-on with LLM workflows prompt engineering and chaining frameworks (LangGraph LangChain Haystack or similar)
Integrated LLMs embeddings and vector search into real-world workflows
Designed custom NLP chains for document understanding with schema enforcement and confidence scoring
Working knowledge of time-series or anomaly detection (e.g. Prophet LSTM transformers)
High ownership mindsetyou debug in production and think in first principles
Clear communicator who thrives in lean fast-paced teams without layers of abstraction
Bonus if youve touched:
Aviation logistics or other physical/regulated systems
Graph data (Neo4j property graphs entity relationships)
Safety reporting systems or compliance-heavy workflows
Smart-contracts or audit-proof data systems
What Success Looks Like in 6 Months
Youve built an intelligent pipeline that turns raw PDFs into structured validated records
Agents are live automating complex data flows with human oversight where needed
A predictive model flags early risk conditions based on real-world log and usage data
Youre the technical owner of our AI system and a respected voice in the team
Were not guessing your systems are improving speed quality and safety on the ground
What We Offer
Competitive salary Health insurance
The chance to own a core product stream from the start and grow into Head of AI if thats your path
Early access to problems that are hard real and high-impact
A team that moves fast thinks clearly and backs each other
A mission that matters: keep aircraft safer smarter and better maintained
What We Dont Offer
Endless sprints to nowhere
AI hype without grounding
Legacy drag middle-management layers or AI theater
Burnout-as-a-badge or chaos as culture
If youre a builder who codes simplifies and cares about execution this is yours.
