About the role

Software engineering is being fundamentally transformed by AI, and we''re building the tools to lead that shift. Aviator is creating the engineering productivity supertools that will define how the best teams build software in the AI era.We as strongly believe that we can provide developers with super powers to build faster and better by solving the challenges that they face everyday.

We believe the future of software development isn''t engineers replaced by AI-it''s engineers supercharged by it. Small teams will ship what once required hundreds of people. Complex workflows that took days will complete in minutes. We''re building that future.

Backed by Y Combinator (S21), we''re a small, focused team in San Francisco tackling one of the most important problems in tech: making every engineer dramatically more effective. We are a team of ex-Googlers with background building engineering teams at several fast-growing silicon valley startups.

Our platform already powers workflow automation at Slack, Figma, DoorDash, Square and other industry leaders. Square. MergeQueue eliminates merge conflicts and broken builds. FlexReview intelligently routes code reviews. And Runbooks-our newest product-is a collaborative AI agent platform that lets engineering teams automate complex workflows through natural language specs and shared context.

What you will do

• Work closely with the users to understand their development needs and use cases to guide our roadmap. Ensure customer needs are supported by broader engineering team through effective prioritization.
• Build prototypes all the way to final products. Solve complex issues for our users.
• Collaborate with our team to gather requirements through detailed technical discussions and brainstorming sessions.
• Explore new product development areas driven by strategic understanding of users landscape.
• Take ownership and drive initiatives for segments within the product.

Qualifications

• Owned previous projects - whether it was in your previous internship or projects outside of work.
• The ability to work in a low-structure environment and is comfortable working with unknowns.
• Passion for building engineering tools, excited about solving problems for engineers.
• Strong communication skills.
• Strong debugging and critical thinking skills.
• Previous internship experience.
• Previous experience working with or building internal engineering tools is a plus.
• Pursuing BS/MS/PhD in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
