About the role

Urban Sky is seeking a Flight Operations Technician to execute stratospheric balloon missions from prep to return, often far from HQ. The role demands travel nationwide and internationally, long days, irregular schedules, and a strong mission-first mindset. Ideal candidates bring substantial field experience, independence, and the ability to adapt to austere environments. Valid license, passport, and safety competencies are required. Competitive benefits and stock options offered.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
