Job Description

Honeywell is looking for a Advanced Software Engineer to help build and evolve enterprise-scale platform services supporting Honeywell Forge and the Cognition platform. This role is suited for a strong hands‑on software engineer with 5+ years of experience developing modern applications, APIs, backend services, and distributed systems. The engineer will contribute across user experiences, APIs, microservices, data and messaging infrastructure and containerized deployments. You will work closely with technical leads, architects, SRE, cybersecurity, QA, product, and other engineering teams to translate product and architecture requirements into secure, scalable, maintainable, and production‑ready software. The ideal candidate is comfortable owning features and services from design and implementation through automated testing, deployment, integration, troubleshooting, and production readiness. You will report directly to our Sr Software Engineering Manager and you’ll work out of our Atlanta, GA location on a hybrid work schedule.

Responsibilities

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Full-Stack & Platform Engineering

• Design and develop containerized microservices and distributed platform components.
• Implement well‑defined service interfaces, APIs, contracts, and reusable abstractions.
• Develop event‑driven services using RabbitMQ or similar messaging technologies and asynchronous processing patterns.
• Build services interacting with relational databases, time‑series data stores, caching technologies, and file/object storage.
• Implement reliable service‑to‑service communication, error handling, retry, and integration patterns.
• Troubleshoot issues across distributed services and their dependencies.
• Develop software that can support deployment across Azure, GCP, Alibaba Cloud, and Cognition environments.
• Contribute to a common platform codebase while maintaining appropriate separation between common functionality and provider‑specific implementations.
• Apply abstraction and adapter patterns where needed to minimize unnecessary cloud‑provider dependencies.
• Develop software capable of operating in Cognition edge/appliance environments, including deployments with limited or restricted connectivity.
• Build platform components with appropriate consideration for CPU, memory, storage, and network utilization.
• Develop and support services deployed in Kubernetes‑based environments.
• Contribute to installation, configuration, upgrade, and lifecycle‑management capabilities for platform services.
• Follow engineering and security requirements associated with regulated, restricted‑connectivity, or air‑gapped deployments.

Engineering & Collaboration Expectations
