Based in Toronto, our culture thrives on trust, collaboration, accountability, and continuous improvement - where every engineer can experiment, own, and make real impact.  The Role We’re looking for a Senior Front-End Software Developer who is passionate about building exceptional user experiences and shaping a scalable, modern front-end architecture. You take full ownership of your domain, guiding architectural choices and delivering high‑quality work autonomously. You establish coding standards, champion best practices, and strengthen team workflows through mentorship and example, all while demonstrating operational excellence in incident response and root-cause analysis. You communicate complex ideas clearly, mentor junior engineers, collaborate effectively with peers, and advise leadership on technical feasibility and long-term implications.

About You • Strong experience with modern JavaScript frameworks and tools (React, Vue.js, Angular, webpack, npm/yarn, Vite). • Proficiency with TypeScript and large-scale, maintainable codebases. • Experience with testing tools such as Jest, Vitest, Cypress, or Playwright. • Deep understanding of state management for complex applications (Redux, Vuex, Zustand, Pinia, etc.). • Experience designing and integrating with REST APIs. • Solid understanding of QA practices, debugging, and cross-functional engineering workflows. Why Join Air-tek • Work on meaningful problems that power the backbone of the airline industry. • Build production-grade software that scales globally and impacts millions of passengers. • Collaborate with brilliant engineers in a high-trust, low-ego environment. • Operate with autonomy and ownership - your ideas will shape our products. • Exposure to modern technologies, cloud environments, and complex system design. • Competitive compensation and growth opportunities in a fast-scaling company.
