Software Engineer, Connected Fleet & Operations

About The Landline Company

Landline is building infrastructure that lets passengers clear security and check in for their flight closer to home, before they ever reach the airport. We provide seamless ground connectivity on behalf of American Airlines, Air Canada, and other major carriers, integrating booking, secure transport, and baggage handling into a single ticket across a growing North American network.

Backed by top-tier venture investors and partners like CLEAR, we've spent eight years making the travel day seamless for millions of passengers.

Job Summary

Our drivers and frontline teams run a live 24/7 operation across a growing North American network, and the tools in their hands have to work the first time, even for someone who got hired last week.

As a Software Engineer, you'll own that layer. That includes the driver app at the center of every trip, the handheld tools our station staff run their shifts on, and the connections back into the platform, from booking systems to the operations backend, that keep everyone in sync in real time.

Our operation runs inside the networks of major airline partners like American Airlines and Air Canada. You'll work at hub airports and partner stations, alongside their teams and ours, watching how the operation actually runs. When you find something slow, manual, or error-prone, you'll ship the fix and iterate on it in days rather than quarters.

We work on a modern, engineer-friendly stack and build agentic workflows into how we develop and how our tools run, and you'll have a real voice in where it goes next.

What You'll Do

• Own the field software layer: the driver app and the handheld tools frontline staff use every shift for scanning, verification, photo capture, and real-time status.
• Design flows that hold up in real field conditions, including offline use, glare, gloves, and one-handed operation.
• Integrate device capabilities like camera, barcode/NFC scanning, and GPS so fi
