• Design, develop, test, and maintain enterprise-grade applications across front-end, back-end, and edge layers using .NET, C#, ASP.NET Core, and modern development frameworks.
• Develop scalable APIs, server-side components, and responsive, high-performance modules aligned with deployment architectures while contributing to software architecture decisions and technical design reviews.
• Develop and enhance Edge-based solutions for industrial automation, telemetry processing, and edge-to-cloud communication using protocols such as MQTT, AMQP, OPC-UA, Modbus, REST, and WebSockets.
• Implement telemetry ingestion pipelines, device management capabilities, real-time data processing solutions, and industrial data integrations, with exposure to historian systems and industrial data platforms being advantageous.
• Design and develop scalable microservices-based architectures and containerized applications using Docker and Kubernetes/OpenShift, ensuring resilience, observability, and high availability across distributed systems.
• Collaborate with architecture teams to implement scalable, maintainable, secure, and event-driven software solutions while supporting message-driven architectures.
• Utilize AI-assisted engineering tools such as GitHub Copilot, generative AI platforms, and intelligent automation frameworks to improve engineering productivity, software quality, and development efficiency.
• Integrate AI/ML capabilities into Edge and Industrial IoT applications where applicable and contribute to the evaluation of emerging AI technologies supporting industrial automation use cases.
• Implement and enhance CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or similar platforms by integrating automated testing, code quality analysis, security scanning, and deployment automation practices.
• Ensure software reliability through continuous testing, observability, monitoring, performance validation, and collaboration with quality engineering teams to improve automation coverage and release quality.
• Support production deployments, troubleshooting activities, operational excellence initiatives, and cloud-edge deployment models while following secure software development practices.
• Contribute to system reliability, fault tolerance, cybersecurity compliance initiatives, and observability implementations using tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, or OpenTelemetry.
Qualifications for the role:
• 5–8 years of professional software engineering experience with strong expertise in enterprise-grade full stack application development.
• BE/BTech/ME/MTech in Computer Science, Information Technology, Electronics, or related engineering disciplines.
• Strong proficiency in .NET/.NET Core, C#, ASP.NET Core, and REST API development.
• Hands-on experience with Kubernetes/OpenShift, Docker, containerization technologies, microservices architecture, CI/CD pipelines, and Git-based development workflows.
• Good knowledge of industrial communication protocols such as MQTT, AMQP, OPC-UA, Modbus, HTTP/HTTPS, along with understanding of Edge computing architectures and event-driven systems.
• Experience working within Linux environments and exposure to cloud-native technologies and hybrid cloud-edge deployments.
• Additional experience with CrateDB, PostgreSQL, time-series databases, Azure Cloud, AWS, or hybrid cloud platforms will be advantageous.
• Exposure to AI/ML integration, GitHub Copilot, AI-assisted development workflows, and industrial automation domains is highly desirable.
• Strong analytical thinking, problem-solving capabilities, and troubleshooting skills across application, infrastructure, and deployment layers.
• Ability to collaborate effectively within global Agile teams, mentor junior engineers, and drive technical excellence through ownership and proactive execution.
• Demonstrated adaptability to evolving technologies and business needs, combined with a passion for innovation, automation, and continuous learning.
• Additional experience in telemetry pipelines, streaming platforms, distributed tracing, high-availability deployments, industrial cybersecurity standards, GenAI-assisted SDLC workflows, architecture discussions, technical roadmaps, and test automation frameworks is considered beneficial.
