General Application

General Application Job Overview Airbase builds the software platform for radio frequency spectrum licensing, coordination, and intelligence. Backed by a16z, we are a fast-moving, dual-use startup transforming wireless communication from a static, analog bottleneck into a dynamic, software-defined advantage. Today, the world’s most advanced hardware—from satellite mega-constellations to Army UAS swarms and Electronic Warfare systems—is grounded by 20th-century paperwork.

Spectrum coordination relies on fragmented databases, missing systems of record, and decades of static PDFs. Airbase is fixing this. We’ve built novel AI pipelines to digitize this analog bureaucracy and translate it into a software-defined, machine-readable data layer. We are transforming the spectrum from a static bottleneck into a dynamic advantage, delivering machine-speed tactical deconfliction for the military and automated licensing for commercial innovators.

Who We're Looking For We are a small team and rapidly growing. If you are world-class at what you do, but don’t see an open role that perfectly matches your resume, we still want to talk to you. We are always looking for exceptional builders, including: Software Engineers & AI Specialists: Capable of untangling massive technical debt and building dynamic, real-time data pipelines.

Defense Tech Operators: With deep ties to the Joint Force, USSOCOM, or the DoD acquisition ecosystem. Commercial Tech & Space Leaders: Who understand the friction of scaling autonomous systems, telecoms, or satellite networks. Spectrum Policy Wonks: Who know the NTIA and FCC rulebooks inside and out, and know exactly how to digitize them.

Scrappy Generalists: Who can parachute into a complex problem—whether it's operations, product, or growth—and execute. How to Apply Skip the generic cover letter. Send us your resume, along with a short, punchy paragraph answering two questions: What is your superpower? Exactly how can you use it to accelerate the Airbase mission?

Things you’ll say in your first month: “Woah, that software is from the 20th century” “Hold on, these agencies use completely different units here? And this all happens over email?” “This spreadsheet maintained by a guy named Mike is the entire system of record?” Benefits & Perks Competitive salary, with opportunities for growth, and equity in an early stage startup.

Comprehensive health insurance plans & 401k. Regular team-building events and company retreats. Airbase is an Equal Opportunity Employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, or protected veteran status.
