Software Engineer - TypeScript / Full Stack / Front End in Stockport

AeroCloud is the new-age operating system for airports aiming to grow. Our suite includes Airport Operating Systems (AOS), Passenger Processing Systems (PPS), and Passenger Flow Management solutions, empowering airports to gain deep insights into the movement of passengers and aircraft around the world.

We achieve this by becoming the airport’s first call for technology. Whether in times of need or growth, we stand alongside our clients, offering support through innovative software that drives their success.

At AeroCloud, being the airport’s first call means exceeding expectations at every customer interaction. This is not just a goal; it’s our standard. We prioritize detail, diligence, and a proactive approach in everything we do. If there’s a task to be completed, we see it through. If a customer needs an answer we don’t yet have, we respond promptly to let them know we’re on it. We believe in keeping our team informed, being transparent, and maintaining accountability at every step.

AeroCloud is modernising airport operations with a unified TypeScript + AWS stack. We build real, production systems used by airports worldwide — and we want engineers who care about shipping, learning, and doing right by the customer.

We’re hiring across Junior (SE1), Mid (SE2) and Senior (SE3) levels. Whichever level you join at, you’ll work in cross-functional teams, build and own features end-to-end, and contribute to software that genuinely moves the needle for airports.

Job Requirements

What you’ll be building:

• Our platform runs airport operations from curb to gate — from Optic (computer vision tracking passenger flow), through AOS (airport operations and flight management), right through to PPS (boarding systems).

What we expect — by level

• SE1 — Junior Software Engineer: You’re early in your career, but you’ve got the fundamentals and hunger to learn. You write code, ask great questions, and own the work you take on.

• TypeScript across frontend and backend
• React, Storybook, BFF patterns
• AWS (ECS, Lambda, SQS/SNS, EventBridge, Cognito, Greengrass)
• NestJS backends, MongoDB Atlas
• Infrastructure as Code via AWS CDK
• Observability, testing, and CI/CD baked in

• SE2 — Mid Software Engineer: You’re solid. You can design solutions, ship independently, and contribute across the stack.

• Comfortable with TypeScript basics; confident modifying existing code, following patterns, and building with guidance
• Have used React or Node/NestJS in projects, tutorials, or early commercial work
• Understand the path to production and follow team practices around testing, observability, and CI/CD
• Debug with support — you know where to look, how to use logs, and when to ask for help
• Pair frequently, share struggles, and treat engineering as a discovery process
• Care about the customer and follow your changes through to real-world use
• Help fill small documentation gaps as you learn things

• SE3 — Senior Software Engineer: You’re the person others look to when things are unclear. You simplify complexity, coach others, and ensure what we build is robust, observable, and production-ready.

• Deep TypeScript experience and strong architectural instincts
• Strong understanding of AWS patterns (serverless and serverful)
• Define testing strategies, improve pipelines, and shorten feedback loops
• Communicate complex systems clearly using diagrams and decision logs
• Lead root-cause analysis, incident reviews, and observability improvements
• Run technical spikes and proof-of-concepts to de-risk work
• Provide technical direction and alignment across problem spaces
• Advocate for technical writing, runbooks, SLOs, and accessible knowledge

Job Responsibilities

• You take ownership — of code, processes, problems, and customer outcomes
• You care about shipping safely and delivering real value
• You’re comfortable working in a fast-moving company disrupting a traditional industry
• You wear many hats, learn quickly, and help others do the same

Job Benefits

• Competitive salary
• Best-in-Class Share Options scheme
• Flexible working environment
• 25 days annual leave + statutory holidays
• Birthday leave (take your birthday off on us)
• Access to our Employee Assistance Program
• Extensive upskilling and training opportunities
• Company pension scheme
• Employee perks and discounts
• Salary sacrifice schemes – Cycle to Work and EV scheme
• Digital Nomad policy (work abroad up to 4 weeks a year)
