About the company:

BETA Technologies is creating an electric transportation ecosystem that’s safe, reliable and sustainable. A relentlessly focused team is building an extensive charging infrastructure and ALIA, the world’s most technologically advanced electric vertical aircraft (EVA).

BETA’s platform and products are strikingly simple. Prioritization of safety and a pragmatic approach to certification drive elegant redundancy, appropriate diversity of implementation and simplicity of control. ALIA’s fixed-pitch propellers and centrally located batteries make it an inherently stable aircraft that is safe to fly and easy to maneuver.

At BETA Technologies, we apply our intellectual curiosity, passion for aviation, and commitment to sustainability toward a shared mission of revolutionizing electric aviation. Regardless of the position one holds, each team member brings their talent and desire to positively impact the environment and lives of others in a refreshing, vibrant, and inclusive culture.

In the Development Platform Engineering role, you will be a critical enabler of our engineering team's productivity, innovation, and technical excellence. You will establish a robust developer experience that allows BETA to scale and will serve as a force multiplier in many different areas of the business. A good candidate will be willing to jump into an unfamiliar environment, and work to apply the same basic principles to streamline the software development process, promote packaging, CI, repeatable builds, and code quality best practices across a variety of environments. You should be passionate about repeatability, quality, automation, and reducing barriers to entry.

Build electric airplanes with us!
