Jobs at Zinkworks

The Scrum Master coaches agile teams toward self-management, improved flow, predictable delivery, and higher quality. Responsibilities include facilitating effective Scrum events, improving backlog quality and Definition of Done, reducing handoffs, removing systemic impediments, coaching Product Owners, and partnering with clients and leadership. Success is measured through stronger Sprint Goal achievement, reduced carryover and WIP, fewer late defects, and increased delivery predictability.

Own frontend development for a greenfield React enterprise dashboard in the telecoms domain. Build interactive, data-heavy interfaces, define UI structure and styling, integrate backend APIs, optimize performance and accessibility, maintain code quality through testing and reviews, and contribute to agile ceremonies and frontend standards.

Own cloud and deployment foundations primarily on GCP for a product discovery team. Design CI/CD and release pipelines, manage development and demonstration environments, establish reusable infrastructure patterns, operate Kubernetes-based systems, and improve security, observability, reliability, and operational readiness. Collaborate with software, machine learning, product, and applied-science teams to rapidly deploy prototypes and harden successful solutions into production-ready products.

Lead presales technical engagements for telecom customers, designing cloud-native OSS/NMS and AI/ML-driven automation. Run discovery workshops, own technical POCs, craft RFP/RFI responses, translate customer needs into defensible solutions, and present to executive and technical stakeholders while partnering with delivery and engineering teams.

Lead the architecture of an enterprise Agentic AI platform on GCP for a major telecommunications provider. Define secure interactions among microservices, AI models, data pipelines, and telecom systems; establish Generative AI governance and RAG frameworks; create API and event-driven integration patterns; review architectural deliverables as Design Authority; and design orchestration frameworks across RAN, Core, OSS/BSS, and network automation environments.

Build and maintain GitLab CI/CD pipelines, automate compliance checks, manage OpenShift releases through GitOps and ArgoCD, troubleshoot clusters, and administer Cisco NSO and Itential IAP deployments. Maintain infrastructure with Ansible and self-managed GitLab runners, support production systems in regulated enterprise environments, and document platform procedures and incident runbooks.

Design, develop, test, and support scalable cloud-based data solutions. Build Apache Airflow ETL/ELT pipelines, SQL and Python transformations, integrations, and data models across relational, NoSQL, and graph databases. Profile data, implement quality controls, troubleshoot pipeline issues, and support CI/CD and DevOps practices. Collaborate with technical and business stakeholders on architecture, documentation, security, governance, and agile delivery.

Design and maintain automated test frameworks for microservices, APIs, and data pipelines. Perform backend API, integration and database testing, write BDD tests with Cucumber, validate SQL/stored procedures, automate Spring Boot/Batch apps on OpenShift/Kubernetes, integrate tests into CI/CD, and debug distributed systems using Unix tools and technologies like Kafka and Redis.

Build end-to-end prototypes for autonomous network products: frontend UIs, backend services, APIs, data flows, cloud infrastructure, and third-party integrations. Partner with AI engineers to integrate agent frameworks, implement real-time and asynchronous workflows, maintain GCP demo infrastructure, and define full-stack standards, observability, security, and deployment practices to evolve prototypes toward production.

Build production GenAI systems: implement RAG pipelines, orchestrate agentic workflows, integrate agents with enterprise systems, deploy on GCP (Cloud Run, Pub/Sub), and ensure security, observability, and operational readiness.

Own and prioritise the Digital Twin product backlog for telecoms network engineering. Lead discovery with engineering teams, convert use cases into user stories and data/integration requirements, work with architects, data and AI teams, support Agile ceremonies, manage scope, and track delivery outcomes like cycle time reduction and CAPEX avoidance.

Design, develop, and maintain scalable Java backend services using Spring frameworks. Build RESTful microservices, integrate messaging (Kafka/ActiveMQ), support CI/CD pipelines, troubleshoot production issues, transform legacy systems to microservices, participate in code reviews, mentor juniors, and collaborate with cross-functional teams in an Agile environment.

Entry-level, in-office software developer apprenticeship combining FIT formal training with on-the-job projects. Learn programming (Python, Java), databases, Spring Boot backend, frontend basics, testing, GCP cloud, Docker and CI/CD, and AI-assisted tooling while participating in team ceremonies, completing exercises, and receiving mentorship.

Lead presales technical engagements for RAN automation, OSS and network management. Design cloud-native, closed-loop rApp/AI solutions, run trials and workshops, author RFP responses, and drive technical POCs with operator stakeholders through to technical close.
