How will you make an impact

Work on backend platform software that powers advanced scientific instruments used in semiconductor s , life sciences, and materials research .

We are seeking an experienced senior developer ( 4 – 6 years) to drive reliable, scalable VM infrastructure automation and CI/CD execution for engineering workflows such as smoke and integration testing, regression, and continuous integration.

This role will lead the delivery of automation services and tooling built primarily in Python and C#, with strong emphasis on Windows platform engineering, Jenkins (Groovy/shared libraries) and operational reliability. The ideal candidate combines strong hands-on technical depth with the ability to set direction, improve system stability, mentor engineers, and support rapid troubleshooting when CI pipelines or VM automation workflows encounter issues.

What will you do

• Development of backend automation services (Python/C#) for process execution, file operations, health checks, and environment management.
• Establish strong reliability practices (logging/monitoring, retries/backoff, idempotency, concurrency controls, safe cleanup, traceability).
• Provide Windows platform understanding (Event Logs, Registry, services) to diagnose and resolve complex automation and CI issues.
• Support incident response and hands-on troubleshooting to reduce downtime and improve resilience.
• Guide test execution optimization (including incremental testing) to improve CI cycle time and stability.
• Influence technical design and architecture and maintain clear runbooks and documentation for operational readiness.

Required Skills

• Strong hands-on experience with Python and C# in complex, production-grade engineering environments.
• TypeScript / Node.js exposure for tooling, services, or automation utilities.
• Strong Windows automation and troubleshooting skills using PowerShell and BAT CH scripting , including deep knowledge of Windows internals (Event Log, Registry, services).
• Experience with both relational and non-relational databases (e.g., MariaDB, MongoDB).
• Practical troubleshooting mindset and comfort handling ad-hoc firefighting / incident response scenarios.
• Working knowledge of software design/architecture fundamentals and testing concepts, including incremental testing approaches.
• Exposure to .NET build/test workflows to support cross-team collaboration.

Desirable Skills

• Experience with Go and/or PHP in platform or automation contexts.
• Familiarity with artifact publishing and release governance practices (e.g., JFrog CLI, promotion patterns).
• Own Jenkins automation at scale (Groovy pipelines/shared libraries), improving reliability through standards, guardrails, and reusable patterns.
• Proficiency in OpenStack services like Nova (compute), Neutron (networking), and Cinder (storage).

Preferred Qualifications

• BTech degree in Computer Science, Electronics, or a related technical field (or equivalent practical experience).
• Experience operating in regulated or security-focused environments require auditability and traceability.
