• Ensure code and architectures follow security and compliance standards relevant to aviation.

• Guide cross-functional teams on integration, data management, and DevSecOps pipelines.

• Identify potential technical risks and propose mitigation strategies.

• Conduct architectural, code, and performance reviews with a focus on GCP best practices.

• Mentor developers and junior architects, promoting a culture of continuous improvement.

Requirements:

• 7+ years’ experience in software or systems architecture, with at least 3 years in a senior or lead role.

• Proficiency in at least one programming language (Python, Java, C#, or similar).

• Excellent communication and leadership skills.

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience).

Preferred:

• SAFe certification(s) such as SAFe Architect or SAFe Program Consultant.

• Direct experience with aviation systems or MRO platforms.

• Hands-on knowledge of security best practices and relevant compliance frameworks.

• GCP-specific certifications (e.g., Google Professional Cloud Architect).

• Experience with advanced data pipelines or machine learning on GCP.

Soft Skills:

• Clear, concise communication style with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

• Collaborative mindset and willingness to adapt to shifting priorities.

• Able to balance innovation with practical delivery timelines.
