Director of People Operations

About AirDevAirdev’s mission is to set the standard for no-code development.

For many decades, only coders could build custom software. Now, as no-code platforms gain prominence, talented non-coders have an opportunity to enter the world of software development.

Where does Airdev fit in? We find, vet, and train the best no-code developers. Then we staff them on client projects, which allows these developers to build production-grade applications for clients that range from 1-person startups to Fortune 50 enterprises. Our clients benefit because this approach is drastically faster and cheaper – they can envision products and have them built in weeks instead of years.
