### APPLICATION DISCLAIMER

At Air Apps, we value transparency and integrity in our hiring process. Applicants must submit their own work without any AI-generated assistance. Any use of AI in application materials, assessments, or interviews will result in disqualification.

**Live in Airapps’s hiring system.** Read from the company's own applicant tracking system, not reposted from a job board — so it's a real, open requisition rather than an ad that outlived the role.

We remove it as soon as it disappears at source.
