About GeoSpatios
At GeoSpatios, we believe airspace operations shouldn’t be held back by decades-old, fragmented software. We’re rebuilding that foundation from the ground up. Our AI-native operating system for aviation features an autonomous coordinator that transforms decision-making for airlines and flight operators. By leveraging Agentic AI, real-time data, and a data-first architecture, we compress processes that once took 45 minutes into decisions made in under 10 seconds. We’re a venture-backed startup based in Palo Alto with a small, ambitious team tackling one of aerospace’s hardest and most impactful challenges. If you’re excited by the idea of shaping mission-critical infrastructure for global aviation, this is your opportunity to join at the earliest stage and directly influence how the world flies.
About the Role
We’re looking for a Founding Mobile Engineer to build the next generation of Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) used by pilots and operations teams. This is a rare opportunity to own the mobile strategy and architecture of a mission-critical aviation platform from day one.
You’ll design and deliver real-time, geospatially rich mobile experiences that integrate deeply with our AI coordinator and backend systems. Your work will enable operators to plan, coordinate, and execute flights with unprecedented speed and intelligence — online and offline, in the air and on the ground.
Responsibilities
- Architect and build production-grade mobile applications for pilots — from flight planning and coordination tools to real-time decision support interfaces.
- Design offline-first experiences with robust caching and data sync to ensure reliability in low-connectivity environments.
- Integrate with agentic AI workflows and real-time backend systems to deliver context-aware, adaptive mobile features.
- Implement advanced geospatial features — including layered maps, live data overlays, and custom visualizations — leveraging SDKs like Mapbox.
- Own mobile app architecture and patterns , from navigation and state management to build pipelines and release tooling.
- Collaborate closely with backend, AI, and product teams to shape product direction and deliver seamless, end-to-end user experiences.
- Continuously optimize performance, UX, and reliability for operationally critical use cases.
