Engagement: Fixed-term/contract POC assignment; hybrid with secure access to the approved delivery environment

Indicative allocation: 100% from mobilisation through Week 5; approximately 30% thereafter for stabilisation, validation and closure

Reports to / works with: Product / POC Lead; technical counterpart to Client IT and cybersecurity

Role purpose

Own the POC technical solution and engineering integrity. Convert the approved pilot boundary into a secure, non-intrusive, scalable architecture that ingests airport and environmental data, produces traceable intelligence, and supports role-based dashboards and evidence without disrupting operational systems.

Key responsibilities

•Lead solution architecture across presentation, API, domain services, event processing, data platform, integration/edge and security layers.

•Define the minimum POC architecture and consciously defer enterprise-scale features that are not required to prove the agreed value loop.

•Design CLIENT-approved integration patterns for REST APIs, database views, secure file exchange, batch feeds and streaming sources.

•Establish the canonical aviation domain model for flights, movements, stands, aircraft, engines,

infrastructure events, sensors, GIS objects and environmental outputs.

•Own technical decisions for deployment topology, tenant isolation, RBAC/ABAC, secrets, encryption,

audit logging, observability, backup and environment controls.

•Specify data lineage and explainability requirements so calculations can be traced to source category, timestamp, method, assumptions and confidence level.

•Set coding standards, API/event contracts, review gates, CI/CD practices and AI-assisted engineering guardrails.

•Review and approve generated code, infrastructure, tests and technical documentation; remain accountable for correctness and security.

•Lead integration, performance, access-control and failure-mode reviews; resolve cross-workstream technical blockers.

•Support calculation/output validation, UAT,



the Pilot Validation Report and enterprise rollout architecture options.

Primary deliverables

•Signed POC solution architecture and Architecture Decision Records

•Canonical data model, integration catalogue and API/event specifications

•Security baseline, threat/control matrix and access model

•Environment, CI/CD, observability and deployment blueprint

•Technical standards, review checklist and operational runbook

•Technical contribution to validation evidence and rollout recommendation

Must-have qualifications and experience

•10+ years in software/data engineering with 4+ years as solution architect or technical lead for enterprise platforms.

•Hands-on architecture of cloud or hybrid data-intensive systems using APIs, event streaming,

relational/object storage and analytics serving patterns.

•Strong security design knowledge: IAM, RBAC/ABAC, encryption, secrets, network boundaries, audit logging and tenant/data isolation.

•Demonstrated leadership of integration-heavy POCs through build, validation and production-readiness assessment.

•Ability to review Python/SQL and at least one mainstream service stack; familiarity with infrastructure-as-code and CI/CD.

•Robust documentation discipline across architecture, interfaces, controls, decisions and runbooks.

Preferred profile

•Airport operational systems, aviation data, IoT/telemetry, GIS or environmental analytics exposure.

•Experience with Kafka or equivalent streaming, lakehouse patterns, geospatial stores/services and

BI/dashboard platforms.

•Experience designing sovereign, on-premises or restricted enterprise deployments.

•Practical governance of AI-assisted coding and automated verification in regulated or high-trust environments.

Success measures

•Architecture signed off within the discovery gate and proportionate to POC scope.

•Stable ingestion and processing of approved sources without operational disruption.

•Traceable outputs, effective access controls and auditable security evidence.

•No unresolved critical architecture/security defects at pilot closure.
