Senior Software Engineer (Next.js / NestJS / PostgtreSQL)

Company

Fly-Inn is a travel-tech company transforming the way pilots, travelers, and aviation enthusiasts explore the skies.

We’re building an aviation-focused lodging and business platform where users can find airparks, hangar homes, and runway-accessible stays — all wrapped in a beautiful, intuitive web experience.

Our team blends aviation passion with cutting-edge web technology to make “Travel Like a Pilot” not just a slogan, but a reality.

Role

We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer who can own the final stretch of development for our web platform.

The core architecture and design are already in place — including a complete Figma design, an established Next.js frontend, a NestJS backend, and a PostgreSQL database.

Your mission: step in, review what’s been built, clean up the structure where needed, and deliver a fully optimized, production-ready platform.

If you thrive in fast-paced environments, care about code quality, and love seeing your work turn into a live, scalable product, this is your runway.

Description

You’ll collaborate directly with the company founder and a small, focused team.

You’ll have creative freedom to make architectural and technical decisions, ensure best practices, and deliver clean, maintainable, and secure code.

Key responsibilities include:

- Reviewing and finalizing existing frontend (Next.js) and backend (NestJS) codebases.
- Integrating PostgreSQL with scalable, well-designed schemas.
- Building new features based on Figma designs and refining existing ones.
- Optimizing performance, security, and database queries.
- Ensuring seamless API communication and real-time responsiveness.
- Preparing the platform for public launch and ongoing maintainability.

Qualifications

- Bachelor’s degree or higher in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field
- 6+ years of full-stack development experience SPECIFICALLY with Next.js, NestJS, and PostgreSQL.
- Deep understanding of RESTful APIs and/or GraphQL.
- Strong experience with PostgreSQL and relational data modeling.
- Familiarity with cloud deployment (AWS / Vercel / Docker).
- Excellent communication and problem-solving skills.
- Ability to work independently and take ownership from start to finish.
- Strong skills in Computer Science fundamentals and Programming
- Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills
- Ability to work collaboratively in a team environment
- Knowledge of web security best practices and performance optimization
- Bonus: UI/UX polish, TypeScript mastery, aviation interest (we love that)
