### Job Description

Leonardo is a global industrial group, among the main global players in Aerospace, Defence and Security that realises multi-domain technological capabilities in Helicopters, Aircraft, Aerostructures, Electronics, Cyber Security and Space. Within Leonardo's Space Division, e-GEOS, an ASI (20%) and Telespazio (80%) company, is one of the leading international operators in the Earth Observation and geospatial information sector and offers a unique portfolio of application services.

We're building the next generation of Earth Observation (EO) products powered by cloud-native geospatial technologies, Generative AI, knowledge retrieval systems, and intelligent automation. We are looking for a Geospatial Platform Engineer to help design, implement, and operate the software platforms that enable scalable AI and EO solutions in production. Within the Chief Technological Innovation Office organizational unit we are looking a resource to cover the position of Geospatial Platform Engineer - AI focus at the Rome office.

This role is responsible for developing and operating the underlying data, platform, and integration capabilities that support modern EO applications, including Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems, agent-based workflows, geospatial data catalogs, and cloud-native data services. You'll work closely with AI Engineers, Remote Sensing Scientists, Product Owners and external suppliers to transform prototypes into reliable, secure and scalable production services.

You'll be based in Rome and report to the reference technical lead, who will mentor you as you progressively take ownership of platform design and architecture decisions. This is an early-career position with a clear growth path toward technical ownership of our cloud-native geospatial and AI platform stack.

Build and integrate REST APIs, microservices and backend components that provide access to geospatial data, AI services, metadata catalogues and operational workflows.

Support deployment and operations of software and AI services on Kubernetes-based hybrid and cloud environments. Contribute to platform capabilities enabling orchestration of AI agents, RAG, Vector Database, Large Language Models (LLMs), Geospatial Foundation Models (GFMs) and external services. Develop CI/CD pipelines, automated testing frameworks and software delivery processes following DevOps and Platform Engineering principles.

Collaborate with AI Engineers to transition experimental prototypes into production-grade solutions with appropriate reliability, scalability and security controls. Investigate and resolve performance bottlenecks, integration challenges and operational issues across platform components. Draft and maintain technical documentation, architecture diagrams, operational procedures and integration specifications. Contribute to evaluating emerging technologies in cloud-native geospatial computing, platform engineering, workflow orchestration and AI infrastructure.
