Beacon AI is building an AI platform to make flying safer, more efficient, and more capable, backed by top investors with a dozen Department of Defense contracts and partnerships with major airlines. The company operates as a fast-moving team of aviators, engineers, and operators without silos, where small focused teams own what they build and ship quickly.
You will join the mobile team to develop high-impact iOS applications primarily targeting iPad that support the flight safety platform. Working closely with senior engineers and designers, you'll build user-facing features for production systems that handle real-time, safety-critical data.
Key responsibilities include designing and implementing iOS features using Swift, SwiftUI, and UIKit; building high-performance applications that efficiently handle large datasets like wind and weather data with millions of data points; developing Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) features including location services, map navigation, and aviation instrument displays; integrating with external hardware and edge devices for real-time data ingestion; architecting offline-first experiences and graceful degradation strategies for low or no connectivity environments; implementing background processing using Swift Concurrency and async/await; applying data security best practices including Keychain storage and encryption; and collaborating with senior engineers on precise, reliable, and intuitive mobile experiences.
You should have 3+ years of iOS development experience with strong proficiency in Swift and SwiftUI, some UIKit exposure, and familiarity with map frameworks like Mapbox or MapKit. Experience building or working on EFB applications, integrating external hardware, optimizing performance for large datasets, and building offline-first applications is essential. You'll need solid understanding of iOS data security practices, asynchronous programming concepts, and the ability to work effectively in a collaborative, fast-moving environment. Bonus qualifications include iPad-specific optimization experience, passion for aviation, experience with safety-critical systems, CI/CD familiarity, and interest in real-time data and hardware-adjacent systems.
