Beacon AI builds intelligent systems that make aviation safer and more autonomous. We’ve completed multiple DoD programs and are expanding our team with exceptional technical leaders to push the boundaries of human-machine collaboration in the cockpit.
At Beacon, you will lead by example, mentoring and growing a small team of talented engineers (typically 1–2 to start) while staying hands-on in design and execution. You’ll help shape critical systems that advance aviation safety and autonomy, working alongside a team that values effort, creativity, and accountability.
We’re hiring Lead Engineers with 5-9 YOE who love solving complex problems. At Beacon, you’ll own your work end-to-end, from prototype to deployment, and literally see your code take flight in real world aviation environments! Roles:
++ Lead iOS Engineer [Tech Stack: Swift, SwiftUI, UIKit, Mapbox]
++ Lead Infra/Backend Engineer [Tech Stack: AWS]
++ Lead WebApp/FrontEnd Engineer [Tech Stack: Python, Typescript, React]
++ Lead Autonomy/Robotics Engineer [Tech Stack: C++, Python, iOT]
++ Lead Security Software Engineer [Skills: Ability to perform hands-on security engineering tasks, CMMC Compliance Knowledge]

We’re a mission-oriented company building pilot assistance technology that goes beyond what current autopilot (Level 1) automation can do by creating an AI pilot assistant (effectively R2-D2 for pilots). The platform will make aviation safer and more efficient. Our tech is deployed on the aircraft to help prevent accidents, reduce workload, and increase the effectiveness of both commercial and defense operators.
We’re a Series A, venture-backed startup, backed by: Sam Altman, Costanoa, Scout, and JetBlue. We’ve signed over 12 contracts with major defense and commercial players, and customer demand is growing rapidly, with significant milestones planned for next year!
++ Backend and Cloud Infra Software Engineers - Multiple Seniority Levels and Tech Lead Manager
++ iOS Software Engineer - Early Career
We're a lean team, and looking to maintain the high talent and effort density we've built over the last few years. If you're looking to have a direct impact with your work and solve problems that can save lives, we'd love to get the chance to meet you - join us at beaconai.co/careers. Mention in the application that you saw our post on HN.
We’re also hosting a Beacon AI Happy Hour on October 10 in San Francisco. If you’re excited about our mission and curious about joining the team, we’d love to see you there. RSVP Here: https://partiful.com/e/dOW8tvwAF3XQzDkHYFyz
Beacon AI builds R2-D2 for pilots. We are on a mission to make flight safer, more efficient, and accessible for commercial and defense aircraft operators by applying technology to the flight deck. We are building a modern technology stack with a data platform and web application (Lighthouse), and in-cockpit assistant (Murdock).
With new contracts in both defense and commercial aviation, and a $15M Series A in Q3 2024, we’re scaling quickly! We're backed by Costanoa, Scout, Sam Altman, and JetBlue Ventures - and we’re hiring across engineering to support our next phase of growth.

Seriously. This grabbed every buzzword I've ever been affiliated with -- but no interest in hybrid. Even if I could rationalize the commute from OAK-SQL, which my lizard brain is trying to do. :) "Maybe get something like a little Beech Skipper and just fly over..."
