About the Role

This role focuses on building a future where cloud technology connects and enhances human experiences through modern telecom platforms. You will help evolve a cloud‑native, microservice‑based platform used in fifth‑generation (5G) core networks, particularly in the network application programming interface (API) and exposure domain. The work centers on PostgreSQL performance, scalability, and reliability in distributed systems spanning multi‑site Kubernetes and virtual machine (VM)‑based environments. You will collaborate with software architects and platform developers to design software that behaves consistently across these heterogeneous environments, ensuring high availability and predictable performance.

Responsibilities

• Design, implement, and maintain microservices in a distributed, telecom‑grade platform.
• Contribute to the architecture and implementation of high‑performance, geo‑redundant PostgreSQL deployments.
• Analyze and improve database and application performance, ensuring low latency and high throughput for demanding workloads.
• Participate in the full software development lifecycle, including requirements, design, coding, testing, integration, release, deployment, documentation, and support.
• Collaborate with cross‑functional teams using Agile methodologies to deliver high‑quality increments.

• Strong experience with PostgreSQL, including schema design, query optimization, and indexing strategies for large‑scale systems.
• Familiarity with container orchestration (such as Kubernetes) and cloud‑native patterns (including service discovery, configuration management, and observability).
• Proficiency with Linux‑based environments, scripting, and basic networking concepts such as Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
• Experience working with message queues, caching layers, or event‑driven architectures is considered an asset.
• Comfortable using version control systems (such as Git) and standard continuous integration / continuous deployment (CI/CD) practices.
• Strong problem‑solving, debugging, and communication skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively in a distributed team.

Qualities

• Thrives in collaborative, cross‑functional teams and communicates with clarity and confidence.
• Balances technical depth with practical, solution‑driven problem solving.
