Job Description

A vacancy for a DevOps Engineer (d/f/m) has arisen within Airbus Defence and Space in Ottobrunn. The successful applicant will join “Digital Platform”.
Disabled applicants with equal qualifications will be given special consideration.

About us:

Now is a unique moment in history to join Airbus Defence & Space! The space and defence industry is facing unprecedented opportunities and challenges in a world that is becoming more complex and less predictable. For instance, deploying payloads into space is becoming much cheaper, which opens up space to new commercial users and entrepreneurial business models.

Unmanned aerial vehicles (“drones”) provide deep insight into the well-being of our fragile planet, and allow delivery of payloads into areas that are too dirty, dull or dangerous for human pilots. Drones also hold promise for moving people around congested cities. Meanwhile, the ramifications of conflicts around the world stretch all the way to the core of affluent Western democracies, both offline and online. Threats to critical infrastructure, payment systems and mainstream media for instance illustrate the asymmetric nature of many conflicts, requiring better security and protection in cyber-space. Meanwhile, governments are striving to improve the total cost of ownership of their existing military assets, such as military aircraft. They are also increasingly buying new assets as a service, in the process forcing a business model transformation upon their suppliers.
The Digital Platform which is being created now at Airbus Defence & Space is a crucial foundation for these transformations, as it enables promising internal and external use cases that improve operational performance, open up new markets, and ultimately contribute to making the world a safer place.

What you will be doing:

As a member of our growing DevOps Engineering team, you responsibility is the day to day development and continuous enhancement of the Airbus Digital Platform as a Service (PaaS) layer to meet the demands of our business. The PaaS layer offers business projects across all program lines the vital building blocks they need to create new solutions for either new business services or increasing operational excellence. To be successful, you must have an automation-first mindset and deep expert knowledge in one of the core technical domains of our platform (Cloud, Container Orchestration, Big Data, API Management) as well as sound knowledge in one of the other areas. In your role, you are part of a scrum development team and build services jointly with members of other disciplines.

Your main tasks and responsibilities will include:

·  Implement new Platform as a Service (PaaS) elements defined by the platform architecture team;
·  Ensure a smooth transition into operations to meet expected SLAs;
·  Improve existing PaaS elements based on customer feedback, market trends, and runtime information;
·  Continuously increase the automation level and resilience of the PaaS layer, i.e. in terms of self-healing capabilities and zero-touch deployment;
·  Harden the PaaS layer continuously against evolving threats in close collaboration with the security team.

This role will involve travel for business and as such you must be able to travel accordingly.

This job requires an awareness of any potential compliance risks and a commitment to act with integrity, as the foundation for the Company’s success, reputation and sustainable growth.
