• Scale the platform to ingest and fuse disparate, real-time data streams into a single, canonical source of truth for situational awareness and operational control across a global network of airfields.
• Set the standard for engineering excellence, creating a culture of high-quality code, rigorous testing, CI / CD, and operational observability from day one.
