SKYWISE - Cloud Operations & Observability Engineer

Description

The company is a digital services unit wholly owned by an aerospace manufacturer. It builds integrated digital tools that connect planning, flight, technical and ground operations into one end-to-end system, aiming for more predictable and efficient performance.

The product range has grown recently, so the cloud platform now needs one consistent way of being run. This is a permanent, professional-level role in the Digital job family, based in Gdansk.

You will work with external consultants and internal teams to design and grow a next-generation observability platform. You will help teams with different engineering cultures work together and bring AIOps into daily operations.

Hiring steps: online HR screening, a technical interview, an interview with the Head of Digital Platform Operations, and a final onsite interview with an HR Business Partner. Only selected candidates will be contacted.

• Lead the migration, consolidation and optimization of the observability toolset across the organization.
• Define and promote modern Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) methods across operations teams.
• Shadow external consultants to learn their architecture, then take full internal ownership of the observability roadmap and platform governance.
