Job description

Job Summary

We are building a modern cloud platform that simulates device firmware at scale using containerized environments running on Amazon EKS. The emulated devices provide the backbone for automated orchestration, workflow validation, and system‑level testing. The platform relies heavily on Python‑based services, Terraform Infrastructure‑as‑Code, and scalable Kubernetes environments. We are hiring an Intermediate Software Developer to help build, maintain, and evolve the firmware emulation platform and supporting cloud services. You will work on containerized workflows, Python‑based tooling, and Terraform‑managed infrastructure that supports large‑scale simulation scenarios.

Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain Python services supporting firmware emulation and orchestration workflows
• Build and update containerized firmware emulation environments running on Amazon EKS
• Implement and improve infrastructure using Terraform (modules, environments, pipelines)
• Collaborate with firmware, cloud, and QA teams to support large‑scale testing and simulation scenarios
• Develop APIs, scripts, and tools that help orchestrate and validate emulated device behavior
• Debug issues across containers, Python services, Kubernetes clusters, and cloud infrastructure
• Contribute to CI/CD, code reviews, documentation, and shared engineering processes
• Participate in architecture discussions and identify areas for improvement in platform reliability and efficiency

Required Skills / Qualifications

• 3–5+ years of experience as a software developer
• Strong proficiency in Python for backend services, tooling, and automation
• Hands‑on experience working with Kubernetes, ideally EKS in production or staging systems
• Practical experience writing and maintaining Terraform modules and cloud infrastructure
• Experience building or maintaining containerized systems (Docker images, orchestrated workloads)
• Ability to design, implement, and troubleshoot distributed systems and orchestrated workflows
• Familiarity with networking concepts, service mesh, logging/monitoring tools, and cloud IAM
• Strong debugging capabilities across multiple layers (containers, Python, cluster, network)
• Comfortable reviewing code, mentoring junior developers, and participating in technical planning
• Strong communication skills, ownership, and attention to detail
• Collaborative, curious and motivated to learn new tools and cloud technologies
• Nice to have: Experience in developing solutions using graph databases and RDF triple stores; knowledge of RDF, JSON‑LD, URIs, and SPARQL; experience with firmware emulation, hardware simulation, digital twin systems, event‑driven architectures, or cloud‑native patterns; exposure to observability tools (Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry); familiarity with secure cloud architecture and best practices
