Job description
Structured overview of role & requirements
About This Role
- Lead technical direction and architecture for SITA Lab initiatives, from early experiments through customer pilots.
- Turn ambiguous aviation problems into working prototypes and pilots by integrating APIs, enterprise systems, data and AI models; use AI-assisted and agentic development with rigorous testing and evaluation.
- Set engineering, security and governance standards; mentor engineers and help successful experiments move toward product or operational adoption.
Minimum Requirements
- Work Experience Required: Significant professional experience designing, building and operating software systems; no specific number of years is stated.
- Strong software-engineering fundamentals, including architecture, APIs, distributed systems, testing, security and observability; hands-on capability in at least one mainstream programming ecosystem.
- Experience with cloud-native architectures, containers and Kubernetes; distributed, event-driven and API-based systems; relational and NoSQL databases; Git, CI/CD, automated testing and DevOps.
- Practical experience using modern AI coding tools or agents in software engineering, plus experience leading technical projects and mentoring engineers.
Ideal Candidate Profile
- Has used AI tools materially in real software delivery and can structure, constrain and verify agent-generated work rather than relying on prompts alone.
- Fits an innovation-lab environment: moves between customer discovery, architecture and hands-on prototyping, and turns uncertain problems into testable hypotheses and demonstrations.
- Particularly relevant experience includes Java/Spring Boot or Python, TypeScript, Azure or AWS, Kafka, LLM or agentic systems, AI evaluation and observability, and aviation or travel; these are desirable, not stated as mandatory.
