West Drayton, United Kingdom IAG Tech Full time
Job Description

About the Department

This role sits within IAG Connect, a group connectivity business that has created the .air platform, used to provide digital services inflight across British Airways, Iberia, LEVEL and Vueling. The .air Wi-Fi Portal allows customers onboard flights to purchase Wi-Fi and consume other services available. IAG Connect also develops the seatback interactive solution in use across BA, Iberia and LEVEL.

 

Job purpose

The candidate should have a strong technical background coupled with demonstrable experience in developing scalable, high quality and high-performance software products based on business requirements. The candidate should be comfortable architecting the solution, looking at feasibility and technical constraints, ensuing the system architecture and technology stack will support the intended product and enable the overall platform goals.

 

You will be responsible for the maintenance, running and future development of platform V1. IAG Connect are starting a process of re-platforming and migrating from V1 to V2 over a period of around 18-24 months. V1 will remain the live and business critical enabler for Wi-Fi onboard IAG’s airlines during this period. The focus will be on maintenance, operational improvements and security. At the end of the migration process, this role will transition to responsibilities within the V2 platform, with a more operational focus.

 

Key role responsibilities

• Deliver both technical leadership and development of the .air V1 platform for inflight connectivity

• Work closely with stakeholders to form and deliver against the agreed roadmap

• Operating a Dev-Ops model using CI/CD to support the platform, with a focus on operational efficiency and best practises

• Collaborating with teams within the group to ensure compliance and alignment with group standards

• Ownership of architecture within the team and responsibility for integration with 3rd parties and other product teams across the group

• Technically hands on, developing software (i.e. actual coding of solutions)

• Creating and maintaining technical documentation for solutions developed

• You will work with the IAG Connect team to assess product opportunities and recommend the best solution to the requirements
