About The Position

Aviture provides custom software solutions for clients, acting as a business partner and technical advisor – sharing and contributing to our client’s vision. We provide full lifecycle software services from concept, implementation and first delivery on to continued maintenance, analysis, and continued adaption to user needs and market forces. At Aviture we treat our employees as people, not resources. We value their personal & professional growth believing that stronger and healthier individuals are good for both our employees and our clients. Using our principle of ‘cross pollination’ – we actively share problems & solutions between our project teams and provide ample opportunities for employees to advance to different teams at opportune moments to grow and mentor. The exposure to multiple industries and aspects of technology presents an ideal environment in which you can continue to master your trade skills, as well as be exposed to many developing technologies & interesting problem spaces. Additionally, we encourage the inter-communication and mingling of our employees – to include company sponsored vacations, quarterly ‘cast away’ weeks where we co-locate our employees to further collaborate, and many social functions and internal interest groups. We are headquartered in Omaha, Nebraska, with remote employees across the nation: Las Vegas, Washington D.C., Austin, Dallas, Portland, Green Bay, Kansas City, Minneapolis, and Orlando, just to name a few. Along with our mission-driven team’s deep expertise in a wide range of development languages, we employ a disciplined agile approach to define goals upfront, keep organizational value at the forefront, and set the pace for rapid, iterative innovation that transforms organizations. We call this the Art of the Possible. Aviturians create technology that makes a meaningful difference in someone’s life. We’re a team made up of designers, engineers, developers, and inventors who believe technology’s purpose is to empower users to change the world. We’ve built our culture around creativity, continuous learning, and our shared values. If that sounds like something you’d like to be a part of, then join us today!

If hired, you will be contributing to a platform which sets aspiring individuals on a path for career growth and personal development, provides viable options for education and a lucrative future for those typically underserved, and help connect families to loved ones as they enter a career in the US Air Force. This role involves working as a part of a mature, cross functional, agile development team with generalized specializations in UX, UI, Mobile, Cloud Engineering (AWS), DevOps and QA. The ideal candidate should have deep experience working on professional level mobile applications with mature cloud-hosted backends.
