About the Role :

We are looking for a highly experienced Python Developer with strong Aviation domain expertise, specifically in Crew Management systems.

This role requires a blend of deep technical capability and functional understanding of airline crew operations, including rostering, scheduling, compliance, and optimization.

This is a domain-critical role where prior experience in airline systems is non-negotiable.

Key Responsibilities :

- Design, develop, and maintain scalable backend systems using Python for airline crew management solutions

- Work on crew scheduling, rostering, pairing, and tracking systems aligned with aviation regulations

- Collaborate with business stakeholders (Operations, Crew Planning, Compliance teams) to translate requirements into technical solutions

- Ensure compliance with aviation regulatory frameworks (DGCA / EASA / FAA guidelines where applicable)

- Optimize crew allocation, utilization, and cost-efficiency through algorithmic and rule-based systems

- Develop and integrate APIs/services for crew data, scheduling engines, and operational systems

- Work closely with DevOps and infrastructure teams on Linux/Unix-based deployments

- Troubleshoot performance issues and ensure high availability of mission-critical systems

- Participate in system modernization, migration, or enhancement of legacy airline platforms

Mandatory Requirements :

- 7+ years of experience in Python development (backend-focused)

- Strong hands-on experience with Linux/Unix environments

- Mandatory experience in Aviation / Airline industry

- Proven work experience in Crew Management Systems, including :

1. Crew Scheduling

2. Rostering

3. Pairing / Bidding systems

4. Crew legality & compliance

- Understanding of airline operational systems and workflows

Technical Skills Required :

- Python (Core + frameworks like Flask/Django/FastAPI)

- Strong experience in Linux/Unix systems (shell scripting, process management)

- API development (RESTful services, integrations)

- Database experience (PostgreSQL, Oracle, or similar)

- Experience with scheduling/optimization logic (good to have)

- Familiarity with microservices architecture (preferred)

- Version control (Git) and CI/CD practices

Domain Expertise (Critical) :

Candidates must have hands-on exposure to airline crew systems such as :

1. Crew Planning & Optimization

2. Flight Duty Time Limitations (FDTL)

3. Crew pairing & bidline generation

4. Disruption management (irregular operations handling)

Experience with industry tools/platforms (good to have) :

1. Jeppesen Crew Management

2. Sabre Crew Manager

3. AIMS / Lufthansa Systems

Good to Have :

- Experience working with global airlines or aviation IT vendors

- Exposure to real-time operational systems

- Knowledge of optimization algorithms or constraint-based scheduling

- Cloud exposure (AWS/Azure)

What This Role Is NOT :

- Not a generic Python/backend role

- Not suitable for candidates without aviation experience

- Not a data science or analytics-only position

Why Join :

- Opportunity to work on mission-critical airline systems

- High impact role influencing crew operations & airline efficiency

- Exposure to complex real-world optimization problems

Important Note :

Candidates without Aviation + Crew Management experience will not be considered
