Job description

Описание:

Vista is the world’s leading global business aviation company, providing worldwide business flight services through its network of subsidiaries and a team of over 4,000 experts. A global group headquartered in Dubai, Vista integrates a unique portfolio of companies to offer asset‑free services that cover all key aspects of business aviation, including guaranteed and on‑demand global flight coverage, subscription and membership solutions, and trading and management services.

Задачи:

• Take designs and loosely‑defined problems and drive them to shipped features — defining scope, surfacing the right questions, and deciding what to build when the answer isn't obvious
• Lead the team through key technical and architectural decisions, building alignment and making the call when one is needed
• Build and maintain customer-facing features end‑to‑end across APIs, backend services, and data models
• Design and evolve database schemas and data models that support our client‑side app
• Develop scalable, secure APIs that power our product's application experiences
• Partner with Product, UX, and Data to translate user needs and designs into technical solutions — contributing your own point of view, not just executing
• Speak up in planning, design, and code reviews — raise concerns early and challenge assumptions
• Identify and resolve production issues through effective debugging and root‑cause analysis
• Build and maintain monitoring, alerting, and observability for backend services
• Mentor teammates and raise the overall effectiveness of the engineering organization
• Use AI‑assisted tools where appropriate to support development workflows

Требования:

• 7+ years of professional software development experience, with a BS in Computer Science/ Software Engineering Track record of taking ambiguous problems or designs and independently deciding what and how to build
• A clear, outspoken communicator who can articulate a technical position, build consensus, and lead a team through a decision
• Strong backend experience with Node.js
• Strong API design experience, including API security
• Solid experience with relational databases and schema design, ideally PostgreSQL (SQL)
• Comfortable moving fluidly across the API and data layers
• Strong product mindset, balancing technical excellence, speed, and customer value
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines
• Experience with metrics, monitoring, and alerting tools such as Grafana, Kibana, and ElastAlert
• Будет плюсом: Additional backend experience in Python or Java is a strong plus; Familiarity with modern AI development tools (GitHub, Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code, or similar) is a plus
