DevOps Specialist (GTS Digital Platform)

The people we all rely on to make the world go round – they rely on Thales.  Thales rely on its employees to invent the future: right here, right now.

Present in Romania for over 40 years, Thales is expanding its presence in the country by growing its Digital capabilities and by developing a Group Engineering Competence Centre (ECC). Operating from Bucharest, Thales delivers solutions in a number of core businesses, from ground transportation, space and defence, to security and aeronautics.
Several professional opportunities have arisen. If you are looking for the solidity of a Global Group that is at the forefront of innovation, but with the agility of a human structure that tailors to the personal development of its employees and allows opportunities for evolution in an international environment, then this is the place for you!

Thales has been delivering innovative and comprehensive solutions in the domain of Ground Transportation for decades. With the passage of time and with increase in diversity of products, the heterogeneity of the technology stacks has increased to a level where reuse and standardization has taken a back seat. A modern platform which abstracts away the common services, lets the application developer focus purely on business logic and provides a standard development and consumption mechanism for developers/partners and customers respectively is thus desired.

GDP (GTS Digital Platform) is an application platform which provides the building blocks for building modern, robust, secure & scalable applications. It facilitates development paradigms, continuous integration constructs and clear deployment & operations mechanisms.

We are looking for a GDP Support Specialist to be integrated in the GDP Support & Operations(GSOps) Team. GSOps team acts as a One-Stop-Shop for all support, maintenance and operations needs related to GDP for in-house as well as customer production systems.
