Overview
We are looking for a Customer Support Specialist with real FBO or general aviation experience to support the X-1
FBO software platform. This role is ideal for an experienced Line Service Technician, Customer Service Representative, or FBO Manager who wants to stay close to aviation while moving into technology. You will work directly with FBO teams to resolve issues, deliver training, and help customers adopt modern tools into their daily operations. Experience using the X-1
FBO platform is highly preferred. Candidates with hands-on X-1
FBO experience will ramp more quickly, though strong general aviation or FBO experience remains essential.
This role operates on a shift-based schedule similar to FBO operations, with evening coverage required. Schedules rotate to support nights and weekends and are coordinated with your manager. Preference is given to candidates located on or toward the U.S. West Coast.
CompensationCompensation is competitive and based on experience, with flexibility for candidates who bring deep FBO, training, or X-1
FBO platform experience.
- Remote role open to candidates located anywhere in North America
- Preference for candidates near major aviation hubs such as Southern California, South Florida, Chicago, Houston, or New York
- Travel will be required periodically, with frequency varying by month
- Direct impact on how FBOs operate every day
- Opportunity to work on modern, aviation-specific technology
- Clear expectations, training, and ownership from day one
- Supportive team culture with room for long-term growth
FBO
GMSTEK is the aviation technology company behind X-1
FBO, built by aviation professionals. X-1
FBO is a modern operations and payment platform purpose-built for Fixed Base Operators and general aviation.
Our customers use X-1
FBO to modernize operations across the ramp, front desk, and back office. In an industry that is historically slow to change, we focus on practical, production-proven technology that solves real operational problems for FBO teams.
We are a close-knit team of aviation professionals and technologists who genuinely enjoy working together. Many of us came from FBOs, ramps, and front desks, so we understand the realities of aviation operations and bring real operational experience into how we work together.
We work hard and move quickly, but we value balance. Family matters. Time off matters. Doing good work without burning people out matters. We trust our team to take ownership, communicate clearly, and support one another.
Our headquarters is in Palmetto Bay, Florida, right on Biscayne Bay, with trails, a gym, and a bit of Florida character, including a small lake guarded by a pair of crocodiles. Remote team members are fully supported and always welcome to visit.
