Experience with Git-based workflows, code review processes, and semantic versioning. Knowledge of API integration (e.G., REST APIs, SOAP APIs, RPC, etc.). Experience with logging, monitoring, and telemetry tools for automation health tracking. Exposure to domain-driven design (DDD) and hexagonal architecture principles. Strong analytical and problem-solving mindset, focused on delivering durable, scalable solutions. ## Description This organization has been created to evolve and prepare the CoC's organization to the new challenges and paradigms in the Systems design, to attend current and future customer needs and to foster reuse, common strategies alignment, economy of scale, multisystem architectures and digitalization. The aim is to deliver cross-functional strategies, artefacts and support for the design, development and certification of Air Power systems by centralizing competencies, expertise and activities to act as Multisystem Design Office. Tasks And Responsibilities Automation Framework Development: Design, implement, and maintain a robust Python-based automation framework used across multiple programs and environments. This includes defining architecture patterns, reusable components, libraries, and ensuring consistency, scalability, and maintainability across all automation projects. End-to-End Automation Lifecycle: Lead the full development lifecycle of automation solutions - from requirements gathering and design to implementation, testing, deployment, and release to the end customer. Software Design & Architecture: Define and enforce software design principles, coding standards, and architectural patterns (e.G., modular, hexagonal, and event-driven architectures). Programming & Scripting: Develop high-quality, production-grade code primarily in Python, complemented by strong Shell scripting (Bash/PowerShell) skills for system-level automation. Containerization & CI/CD Integration: Design and maintain Docker-based build environments and pipelines. Integrate automations into Jenkins CI/CD workflows, ensuring reliable build, test, and deployment processes. Code Quality & Testing: Promote automated testing practices, including unit, integration, and regression testing. Implement continuous integration strategies to ensure code quality and early detection of issues. Collaboration & Stakeholder Management: Work closely with internal customers and other DevOps teams to translate operational needs into software solutions. Documentation & Standards: Ensure that all developed tools and automations are properly documented - including architectural decisions, API contracts, and deployment procedures - maintaining traceability and compliance with engineering standards. Innovation & Continuous Improvement: Evaluate and integrate new technologies and methodologies to enhance the automation ecosystem. ## Related Videos - [Docker Compose: Rediscovered](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1978-docker-compose-rediscovered) - [Shifting Stress to Progress— Understanding DevOps to do DevOps Better](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/268-shifting-stress-to-progress-understanding-devops-to-do-devops-better) - [Dev & Test in the Cloud?
