We are seeking a highly skilled Senior Software Developer to help build modern, future-ready applications as part of our company-wide digital transformation. In this role, you will design and deliver cloud-native services and user experiences across core Telecom domains (Digital, Field Operations, Ordering, and OSS), taking ownership from technical discovery through production operations. You will provide technical leadership through design, code, and mentorship and also shape implementation patterns, raise engineering standards, and partner with Product, Architecture, Platform, and QA to deliver secure, reliable, and maintainable solutions.

Key Responsibilities Include:

• Design, build, and maintain cloud-native services and integrations on Azure using container patterns (including Kubernetes), aligned to modern engineering practices.
• Lead technical design for features and integrations (APIs, events, data flows), documenting decisions and guiding implementation through reviews and pairing.
• Research new technologies, tools and patterns to improve team efficiency.
• Ensure quality through unit, integration and automated testing, code reviews, and adherence to engineering standards; actively identify and address defects, security concerns, and technical debt.
• Practice “you build it, you run it” ownership: instrument services with monitoring/observability, support reliable releases, participate in incident response, and drive follow-up improvements (resilience, performance, and security).
• Collaborate daily with Product Owners, Architecture, QA, Platform, and business partners to refine requirements, surface risks and tradeoffs, and align on outcomes.
• Guide and mentor other developers through delivery (e.g., reviews, pairing, coaching).
• Deliver working software increments each sprint by implementing well-defined user stories and technical tasks, including accurate effort estimation and effective story breakdown.

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering or equivalent educational background
• Experience building and maintaining microservices and Web APIs using GraphQL, gRPC, REST, and/or SOAP/XML.
• Demonstrated understanding of event-driven architectures and messaging using Azure Service Bus, AWS SNS/SQS, Google Pub/Sub, Kafka, RabbitMQ, and/or equivalent technologies.
• Experience with Azure, AWS, and/or GCP using managed services.
• Strong understanding of containerized application development and management using Kubernetes, Docker, OpenShift, and/or equivalent tools.
• Data and storage technologies such as Databricks, Cosmos DB, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, Redis, MongoDB, DynamoDB, and/or equivalents.
• Observability platforms such as Datadog, New Relic, Dynatrace, and/or ELK.
• CI/CD tooling such as Azure DevOps Pipelines, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, and/or Argo CD.
• Test automation tools such as Playwright, Selenium, and/or Cucumber.
• AI-assisted development tools such as GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code, and/or equivalent technologies.
• Strong understanding of cloud-native principles and frameworks.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Practical experience using AI tools to support coding, debugging, and testing activities
• Familiarity with TM Forum Open APIs and/or TM Forum-aligned data models and governance concepts for standardized integrations.
• Experience building/operating microservices and event-driven integrations, including observability practices.
• Exposure to platform engineering ways of working .
• Domain familiarity with Telecom OSS/BSS style systems (such as Digital, Field, Ordering, OSS) and end-to-end journey thinking.
• Experience modernizing legacy systems (reducing customizations, increasing reuse, improving interoperability) as part of a transformation program.
