Private aviation operator and fractional jet ownership platform
NetJets operates the largest private jet fleet globally, serving fractional ownership and card-based access models under Berkshire Hathaway ownership. The tech stack reveals a hybrid enterprise architecture: mature SAP/Salesforce core (ERP, CRM, IAM) paired with modern AWS cloud adoption (Snowflake, RDS, Aurora, Lambda, Step Functions), suggesting active migration toward cloud-native data and event-driven operations. Hiring velocity is accelerating with 303 roles posted in the last 30 days, heavily concentrated in operations (563 total), while engineering remains sparse (21), indicating the organization is scaling execution and compliance-heavy functions rather than software product development.

NetJets is the global leader in fractional aircraft ownership and private jet access, operating the world's largest and most diverse private fleet. Founded in 1964 and now owned by Berkshire Hathaway, the company serves high-net-worth travelers through multiple product tiers: fractional share ownership, NetJets Card access, and jet management services. With 5,001–10,000 employees based in Columbus, Ohio, NetJets operates across North America with critical functions spanning aviation operations, regulatory compliance (FAA, TSA), maintenance, flight scheduling, and crew management. The business is capital-intensive and heavily regulated, requiring continuous alignment with federal aviation standards and safety protocols.
NetJets uses SAP S/4HANA and SAP BTP for enterprise resource planning and integration, Salesforce for customer management, AWS services (Lambda, DynamoDB, RDS, Aurora, Redshift) for cloud compute and data, and modern development frameworks including React, Node.js, TypeScript, and GraphQL for frontend and API layers.
NetJets is adopting Snowflake, AWS RDS, Aurora, and Redshift alongside infrastructure-as-code tools (CloudFormation, Terraform, AWS CDK), signaling a transition from on-premise SAP systems toward cloud-hosted data warehousing and event-driven architectures for operational resilience and analytics.
