Job description

About CAMP Systems

At CAMP Systems, we are the trusted leader in aircraft compliance and health management, proudly serving the global business aviation industry. With over 20,000 aircraft and 33,000 engines supported on our cutting‑edge platforms, and partnerships with more than 1,300 maintenance facilities and parts suppliers worldwide, we are shaping the future of aviation technology. Since our founding in 1968, we have grown to a dynamic team of 1,600+ employees across 14 locations globally, all united by a passion for innovation and excellence.

Mission & Vision

We connect the aviation industry through smart technology to make flight safer and more efficient, driving the future of aviation with intelligence and exceptional customer experiences.

Values & Excellence Mindset

We are customer‑obsessed, trust‑driven, owners of our work, stronger together, constantly curious, and boldly innovative.

What You Will Experience In This Role

This role is about transformation. You will assess, re‑architect, and modernize CAMP's mature product platforms using AI‑assisted development tools to accelerate that work, so the resulting systems are clean, extensible, and AI‑ready.

This is a hands‑on senior individual contributor role requiring significant autonomy. You will define the modernization approach, set engineering standards others follow, and drive execution with minimal oversight. If you are energized by untangling complex legacy systems and passionate about the new generation of AI tools that are changing how that work gets done, this role is for you.

Responsibilities

• Assess CAMP's existing product platforms, identify architectural details, and define a prioritized modernization roadmap.
• Architect the evolution from tightly coupled legacy designs toward modular, API‑first, service‑oriented architectures that are easier to extend and maintain.
• Use AI‑powered development tools—code analysis, AI coding assistants, LLM‑assisted refactoring, automated test generation—to accelerate modernization and establish best practices across the engineering organization.
• Redesign data models and data access layers to be clean, consistent, and consumable by AI/ML systems when those capabilities are introduced.
• Build foundational platform capabilities—event‑driven integration points, structured APIs, observability—so AI features can be added without invasive re‑engineering.
• Work hands‑on across the full stack, leading by example rather than by specification alone.
• Partner with product and engineering leadership to sequence the work so it delivers near‑term value while building toward the right long‑term architecture.

You Have

• 15+ years of software engineering experience with a strong track record of architecting and delivering production systems at scale.
• Deep expertise in modern software architecture: microservices, event‑driven design, API‑first development, domain‑driven design, and clean architecture principles.
• Hands‑on experience with AI‑assisted development tools (Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf, or equivalent) and genuine enthusiasm for applying them strategically.
• Full stack capability: backend (Java, JavaScript, Python, C#, Node.js, Spring Boot), APIs, and frontend (React, Angular or equivalent).
• Strong database and data modeling skills—relational (Oracle, SQL Server, PostgreSQL), NoSQL, and data access patterns at scale.
• Cloud‑native experience, AWS preferred—Core services: ECS/EKS, Lambda, API Gateway, RDS, S3, CloudWatch, IAM; Infrastructure as code: AWS CDK or Terraform.
• Exposure to event‑driven messaging (AWS SQS/SNS, Kafka, RabbitMQ or equivalent) and asynchronous architecture patterns.
• Ability to operate independently, define the problem and solve it, and communicate technical direction clearly to engineering and business audiences.
• Familiarity with vector databases—Chroma DB, FAISS, Pinecone or equivalent—and the data access patterns that support AI/ML integration is a plus.
• Experience in aviation, MRO, ERP, or other regulated software domains is a plus. Genuine curiosity about aviation is equally valued.
