About us

Moonware builds products to modernize airfield operations, providing the digital infrastructure to coordinate, optimize, and automate aircraft ground handling.

HALO, our flagship product, is used by airfield teams to optimize flight turnarounds. It serves as a centralized operating layer to manage and oversee tasks, communications, and performance. By enhancing operational visibility and control, HALO enables faster, more reliable, and standardized ground operations.

Our vision is to provide fully autonomous ground operations. HALO serves as the digital infrastructure to support that transition, connecting data, people, and machines to build toward automated airfields.

Moonware’s team combines aviation operations domain knowledge together with software and engineering expertise from top Silicon Valley tech companies. As we scale, we’re expanding the Moonware ecosystem to support the next generation of air transportation.

Moonware is seeking a talented Android engineer to contribute to the HALO mobile product. You will play a pivotal role in shaping product requirements, developing features for the Android client, and delivering a robust, field-tested experience. You will work closely with users on the airfield to build a ramp-first, intuitive mobile tool that enhances operational efficiency for ground crews.
