Project Context: Airline Sciences (DMA) is an Airbus internal function that delivers digital means and airline knowledge to other Airbus functions (1, C, Y, S, and NavBlue). Its mission is to build a digital twin of the airline environment to explore digital capabilities, provide data analysis, support tool development, and ultimately create a simulation tool for airline operations.

Airline Sciences' responsibilities include developing and maintaining digital capabilities, ensuring data accuracy, providing mathematical representations of aircraft, delivering documentation and training, supporting with digital knowledge, and providing advisory services.

Its deliverables include the Airline Digital Twin (ADT) platform, specific mobile apps, Skywise data products and live services, training materials, and airline-related studies.

Role Overview:

We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) to join our innovative Airline Sciences (DMA) team. In this role, you will be instrumental in ensuring the stability, scalability, and performance of our critical digital platforms and services, including the Airline Digital Twin (ADT). You will leverage your expertise in AWS, microservices architecture, databases, networking, and monitoring to proactively identify and resolve issues, automate operations, and drive continuous improvement. Your contributions will directly impact the reliability and efficiency of the digital solutions that underpin Airbus's airline operations insights and simulations.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design, implement, and maintain robust and scalable infrastructure on AWS to support our microservices-based applications and REST APIs.
• Work collaboratively with DevOps Engineer’s CI/CD pipelines for automated deployment, testing, and rollback of services.
• Monitor system performance, availability, and reliability using APM tools, with a preference for Kibana-based solutions, and establish effective alerting mechanisms.
• Proactively identify potential issues and bottlenecks through log analysis, performance metrics, and synthetic monitoring; implement preventative measures.
• Troubleshoot and resolve complex production incidents, performing root cause analysis (RCA) and implementing long-term solutions.
• Manage and optimize database performance, reliability, and scalability.
• Configure and maintain network infrastructure, including load balancers, firewalls, and proxies, ensuring secure and efficient traffic flow.
• Champion and implement infrastructure-as-code (IaC) practices.
• Work with Docker for containerization of applications, managing container orchestration and registries.
• Collaborate closely with development teams to define service level objectives (SLOs), service level indicators (SLIs), and error budgets.
• Develop and maintain comprehensive documentation for system architecture, configurations, and operational procedures.
• Drive automation initiatives to reduce manual effort and improve system resilience.
• Contribute to capacity planning and performance tuning efforts.

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field.
• 4-6 years of experience in Site Reliability Engineering, DevOps, or a similar role.
• Proven hands-on experience with Amazon Web Services (AWS), including services like EC2, S3, RDS, VPC, IAM (Identity and Access Management), Lambda, and EKS/ECS.
• Strong understanding and practical experience with microservices architecture and REST API principles.
• Proficiency in managing and troubleshooting relational and NoSQL databases (e.g., PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Cassandra).
• Solid knowledge of networking concepts (TCP/IP, DNS, HTTP/S, VPNs) and experience with proxies (e.g., Nginx, HAProxy).
• Demonstrable experience with monitoring, logging, and alerting systems, with a strong preference for experience with the ELK Stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana) for APM and observability.
• Hands-on experience with Docker containerization and orchestration (e.g., Kubernetes, Docker Swarm).
• Capable in at least one scripting language (e.g., Python, Bash, Go).
• Experience with CI/CD tools (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab CI, AWS CodePipeline).
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a proactive approach to identifying and resolving issues.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field.
• AWS certifications (e.g., AWS Certified Solutions Architect).
• Experience with infrastructure-as-code tools (e.g., AWS CloudFormation).
• Experience with security best practices in cloud environments.
• Experience working in an Agile development environment.
