About our Aerospace & Defense business
Our Aerospace & Defense business helps the world's leading airlines, MROs, OEMs and defense operators keep complex fleets and platforms mission-ready — managing the full maintenance, asset and service lifecycle at scale. We are changing how that software gets built: closer to the operations it serves, in shorter cycles, and increasingly with AI. That means investing in engineers who work at the point of contact between our products and our customers.
As a Senior Forward Deployed Engineer in our Aerospace & Defense business, you build aviation products directly with our customers. You embed with the airlines, MROs, OEMs and defense operators who keep complex fleets flying, work alongside their people in their own environments, and turn what you see there into working software — shipped quickly, hardened in real operations, and fed back into the product so every customer benefits. This is engineering at the point of contact: the shortest path between a customer's problem and a product that solves it.
The role is deliberately broad. You build across the stack — backend services and APIs, data models and integrations, web interfaces — and you own what you ship end to end, from design and testing through deployment and operational reliability in customer environments. You connect IFS to the systems that run our customers' operations, and you do it under real constraints: live fleets, regulated processes, restricted networks and firm deadlines. AI is becoming both part of how we build and part of what we ship, so experience building AI-powered solutions is a strong advantage.
