Hey HN! Air Space Intelligence (https://www.airspace-intelligence.com) is hiring. We are a frontier AI and product company for the critical industries and defense, backed by a16z.

We’re rebuilding America’s air traffic control system from scratch. What we do in the next two years will define how this country moves through the sky for the next fifty.

At the core is one of the largest real-time optimization problems in the world: how do you safely sequence ~40,000 flights/day while routing around weather, military airspace, equipment outages, and constant real-world churn? The system has to be right every time, and reliable at scale.

We’re hiring across Backend, Infrastructure, and Frontend (ICs and Tech Leads).

One of our roles (with a small puzzle at the bottom that routes to my email): https://www.airspace-intelligence.com/careers/role?=1336c828... - include “HackerNews” in the subject so I can prioritize.

If you want a problem that is genuinely hard, consequential, and urgent - this is the moment to reach out.

There’s a note that there are “mandated certifications” with the federal government required for hire - is that a security clearance, or something simpler?
