This modern urban center, known for its rich cultural heritage, and it is conveniently close to Madrid and the Mediterranean coast. Forget long commutes.

Enjoy a premium standard of living at a competitive cost, ensuring you have the perfect balance between your career and your personal life.

THE PROJECT: SHAPING THE FUTURE

Welcome to the Digital Campus, a pioneering ecosystem dedicated to industrial digitalization and innovation. This is more than just a workplace; it is a technological hub where we define the future of flight. Bring your ideas to a dynamic, modern ecosystem and help us build the next generation of aerospace solutions.

DESCRIPTION

Your main missions are focused on leveraging the integration of the observability tools in the Airbus Helicopters digital landscape and to optimize their usage. You will manage the automation of our testing and observability ecosystems. In this role, you will eliminate manual operational toil, ensure that our systems are highly observable, and build a robust, automated testing pipeline that accelerates our deployment velocity without compromising stability. You will bridge the gap between development, testers, and operations by automating our existing workflows, standardizing our observability stack, and taking a hands‑on approach to deploying test automation infrastructure.

YOUR CHALLENGES

• Automation of Existing Operations
• Modernize & Automate: Take full ownership of our current operational baseline by identifying and automating existing manual or semi-manual processes
• Deployment as Code: Transition legacy deployment strategies into fully codified, automated "Deployment as Code" pipelines
• Configuration Management: Streamline, maintain, and expand our automated operational tasks (e.g., standardizing and scheduling Ansible jobs, cron jobs, and maintenance scripts)

• Observability & Monitoring Automation
• OpenTelemetry (Otel) Deployment: Take the lead on designing, deploying, and maintaining OpenTelemetry across our entire infrastructure to standardize the collection and routing of traces, metrics, and logs
• Extensions Development: Design, write, and maintain custom plugins, exporters, and extensions for our observability ecosystem. You will build tailored monitoring solutions to extract deep telemetry data from proprietary applications, legacy systems, and niche infrastructure that out-of-the-box tools cannot reach

• Test Automation Infrastructure
• Test Automation Deployment: Take a direct, hands‑on role in deploying, configuring, and scaling the testing frameworks and automation tools utilized by the software teams

SKILLS

• Master's degree level (or equivalent) in Information Technology or related field
• Experience with observability tools (monitoring, testing, alerting, open telemetry) is a plus
• General knowledge on IT infrastructure (network, technical infrastructure) and ITIL concepts
• Knowledge in scripting languages to develop automation (Python, Java, Custom API integration)
• Automation & Scripting: Strong proficiency in configuration management and automation tools, specifically Ansible
• Deployment as code
• Proficiency in creating and managing technical documentation
• Proven production environment management; strong troubleshooting skills
• Curious, open‑minded, collaborative team player with strong communication skills
• Autonomous, organized, delivery/customer‑oriented, technology enthusiast and crisis facing robustness
• Experience working on projects with international teams and stakeholders
• Fluent English

WHICH BENEFITS WILL YOU HAVE AS AIRBUS EMPLOYEE?

• Vacation days plus additional days‑off along the year (Apróx. 35 days per year in total)
• Attractive salary
• Hybrid model of working: we support you to work, connect and collaborate more easily and flexibly. Wherever possible, we foster flexible working arrangements to stimulate innovative thinking
• Collective transport service subject to working calendar/home location
• Benefits such as life insurance, health insurance, employee stock options, retirement plan, or study grants
