At Airbus, we support you to work, connect and collaborate more easily and flexibly. Wherever possible, we foster flexible working arrangements to stimulate innovative thinking.

Your challenges:

• **Industrialized Software Development:**Write clean, optimized, and maintainable code in Python, C++, and/or C, adhering to strict industry coding standards.
• Competency Ramp-up in Software Architecture: Work alongside senior engineers to understand design patterns, system dependencies, and modular architecture, preparing you to eventually design complex software components.
• Integrated DevSecOps Integration: Gradually master and apply modern DevSecOps tooling and practices including continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD).
• **Security & Quality Automation:**Participate in the integration of security-by-design concepts (such as automated SAST scanning and dependency checks) into our pipeline workflows.
• Workflow Industrialization: Contribute to the automation and efficiency of the development cycle, ensuring that testing, deployment, and monitoring processes are fully reproducible and scalable.
• **Technical Documentation:**Support the creation of comprehensive architectural and procedural documentation for industrialized deployments.

Your profile:

• Education: Background in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
• **Coding Fundamentals:**Solid academic or practical experience in programming with Python, C++, or C.
• Passion for Architecture & DevSecOps: A strong desire to move beyond basic coding to understand system architecture, automation pipelines, and cybersecurity in development.
• Industrial Mindset: An understanding of (or deep interest in) how software is produced at scale—prioritizing robustness, automated testing, predictability, and safety.
• Familiarity with Modern Tooling: Basic knowledge of Git; any exposure to Docker, CI/CD pipelines, or automation tools is highly appreciated.
• **Soft Skills:**Strong analytical thinking, a proactive attitude toward troubleshooting, and a collaborative team player.
