Careers at Tropiq
Build the future of general aviation.
We're a small, senior team of pilots and builders making the EFB we always wished we had — a flight partner that looks ahead instead of a filing cabinet that waits to be searched. Come build it with us.
Joining Tropiq
We hire people we don't need to manage, lean hard on AI to punch well above our weight, and we don't put safety behind a paywall. Remote-first, async, and moving fast. If that's how you want to work, we should talk.
How we work
A few things we believe, and hire for.
Safety has no paywall
The tools that keep pilots alive ship on every tier. We never monetize fear.
A partner, not a filing cabinet
Software should look ahead and surface what matters — not hand a pilot a pile of raw data and wish them luck.
Stay small, lean on AI
A handful of senior people with sharp tools beats a big org and a wall of meetings. We use AI to punch well above our weight.
Pilots build for pilots
We fly. We build for the cockpit we actually sit in — domain truth over clever guesses.
Ship, then sharpen
We put real things in front of real pilots fast, then make them better with what we learn.
Correct, not just plausible
In aviation, "mostly right" is wrong. We sweat the details that matter at altitude.
What you'd help build
Not a job. A flight partner pilots trust in the air.
Real software, flying today on iOS and Android. This is the kind of work waiting for you.
AI-driven briefings
NOTAMs, weather, and TFRs filtered down to what actually matters for this flight.
Safety you can see
3D terrain, obstacles, and performance — connected to the decision in front of the pilot.
Real performance data
Aircraft-specific numbers for the airplane you are actually flying — not a database menu.
Benefits & perks
Competitive pay and profit sharing, plus the things that make the work sustainable.
Flight-training stipend
We help you earn a rating or stay current. The best people building for pilots are pilots — and if you are not one yet, this is your push.
Health, dental & vision
Comprehensive medical coverage for you and your family, so you can focus on the work.
Remote + equipment budget
Work from anywhere in the US, with a budget to build a home setup that actually works for you.
Open roles
Engineering & Product
Web, mobile, AI-driven data ingestion, flight-safety modeling, and in-cockpit avionics hardware.
Senior Aeronautical Engineer — Flight Safety
Build advanced safety and performance functionality into flight planning — in partnership with aircraft manufacturers, including data the POH doesn't give pilots today.
Senior Full-Stack and Mobile Engineer
Own features end-to-end across our web stack and the cross-platform mobile app at the heart of the cockpit — from chart rendering to AI-driven briefings.
Senior Hardware Engineer
Own dedicated in-cockpit hardware — a portable receiver that gives pilots a complete traffic picture and feeds real-time data into the platform.
Senior Software Engineer
Turn the dense world of aeronautical documents — charts, plates, POHs, performance tables — into structured, trustworthy data, using AI to do it at scale.
Customer & Operations
Onboarding, support, partnerships with flight schools, and the operations that keep us moving fast.
Senior Customer Success & Community Manager
Own the relationship between Tropiq and the pilots who fly with it — support, success, and the community around the product — with AI helping you reach far more pilots personally.
Senior Operations Lead
Get your hands dirty across a small, fast startup — bouncing between events, recruiting, product, and the occasional test flight, sometimes all in the same week.
Growth & Partnerships
Telling our story to more pilots, and taking Tropiq to airlines and new markets.
Senior Growth Marketer
Own how Tropiq shows up in the world — content, social, SEO, and launches — and use AI to do the work of a much bigger team.
Senior Partnerships Lead — Airlines & International
Extend Tropiq beyond GA — build airline relationships and international expansion, from data agreements to new markets.
How hiring works
No black box. Here is exactly what to expect — start to finish, we aim to wrap within two to three weeks.
Apply
Send your resume and a short note. We read every application — a real person, not a filter.
Intro call
A 30-minute conversation with Noah about your background, the role, and what you want to build.
Work sample
A short, paid take-home or live working session that mirrors the real job. No trick questions, no whiteboard puzzles.
Craft interview
A deeper conversation about your work and how you think, with the people you would work alongside.
Final & references
A last conversation on mission and fit, plus a couple of reference checks. Then an offer.
