Aviation Cloud Solutions Architect (AVS Innovation Lab)

Summary:
You will join a forward-looking innovation lab - called International Avionics Lab - dedicated to exploring and developing next-generation aviation and digital solutions, located in Singapore. Operating at the intersection of avionics, cloud technologies and advanced software platforms, the Lab brings together multidisciplinary experts to design, prototype and demonstrate innovative operational concepts bringing improvements to air traffic management and airline/airport operations across Singapore, the Asia-Pacific region, and beyond. Our team works in an agile environment that fosters initiative, experimentation and innovative thinking, and is in constant relationship with local operational stakeholders.

You will design the cloud architectures supporting the Lab's digital platforms and innovation projects. You propose scalable, secure and resilient cloud solutions enabling distributed applications, data processing and communication services.

Responsibilities:

• Define infrastructure patterns for distributed applications and data service

• Select appropriate cloud services and deployment strategies

• Design scalable and resilient cloud architectures of the Lab's platforms and innovation demonstrators, thinking out of the box, and work collaboratively with the rest of the team to build a shared approach consensus

• Provide technical guidance for cloud-native development and deployments

• Lead cloud-related technical projects when required

Requirements

• Typically 5+ years in cloud architecture or distributed platform engineering

• Degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering or IT, or equivalent experience

• Background in aerospace, avionics, airline operation IT systems or air traffic management

• Strong experience designing cloud-native architectures

• Experience in AWS / Azure / GCP, Kubernetes, container platforms, infrastructure-as-code (Terraform), microservices architectures, CI/CD pipelines.

• Messaging broker middleware / COTS packages such as Kafka producer / consumer and Kafka Streams, MQ, ...

• Capabilities to assess the cybersecurity of cloud technologies, architectures and deployments (e.g. how things are connected and potential risk areas)

• Knowledge of several programming languages (e.g. Python, C/C++, Kotlin, TypeScript, Ada or Java 6) or frameworks (React, Swing)

• Enjoy translating complex operational and technical needs into robust architectures

• Demonstrated experience guiding small teams and / or junior software engineers
