Software Architect

As a Software Architect, you will set technical direction for the next phase of OASES. That means owning architecture decisions, integration strategy, and modernisation patterns across a system with real customers and aviation-grade reliability expectations. You'll work directly with Engineering, Product, Customer Operations, and leadership.

About OASES: OASES is an aviation maintenance and engineering platform used globally by airlines, MROs, CAMOs, and aviation operators. We're evolving it into a modern real-time operations platform — incrementally, via API-first architecture, event-driven workflows, telemetry, and platform standardisation.

Key Responsibilities:

• Platform Architecture: Define and evolve the long-term technical architecture of OASES. Drive API-first and event-driven integration strategies. Establish architectural standards and engineering guardrails. Support incremental modernisation using Strangler Fig patterns and service boundaries.
• Real-Time Operations: Design architectures that support real-time operational workflows. Improve system observability, telemetry, and operational intelligence. Enable scalable operational dashboards and workflow orchestration.
• Integration & Ecosystem: Define reusable integration patterns and interface standards. Support ERP, Flight Ops, eTL, supplier, and third-party ecosystem integrations. Help establish a scalable integration catalogue and platform model.
• Engineering Enablement: Raise delivery maturity — CI/CD, automated testing, deployment consistency, resilience. Reduce architectural complexity and fragmentation.
• Reliability & Security: Ensure solutions meet aviation operational reliability expectations. Support auditability, security posture, resilience, and governance requirements. Contribute to enterprise readiness and operational compliance initiative.

Requirements:

• Bachelor’s or master’s degree in computer science, Software Engineering or related field.
• Track record designing and evolving enterprise software platforms.
• Demonstrable experience modernising legacy systems incrementally — you can talk us through a real migration you led.
• Strong with distributed systems, APIs, integration architecture, and cloud platforms.
• Comfortable in regulated or operationally sensitive environments.
• Pragmatic and outcome-focused — can balance strategic direction with delivery realities.
• Effective with both engineers and non-technical stakeholders.
• Useful technical depth: API architecture, event-driven systems, cloud-native platforms, CI/CD and DevOps practices, telemetry and monitoring, security and governance patterns.

Benefits: Why Join Us: Operationally. Technically. Commercially. Architecturally. While solving real operational challenges for airlines and aviation operators worldwide.
