Overview

Job Description: Cloud Tech. Location: Remote. 8+ years hands-on experience in product development, particularly in design and coding using C++ and Python for cloud-based technologies. Experience in NMS (Network Management Systems) and telecommunications or networking domain is highly desirable. Experience in Kubernetes ecosystem & Cloud-native application design. Experience with cloud platforms and networking on cloud and Kubernetes services (logging, resource sharing, etc.). Experience in scalable system architecture design and microservices architecture. Experience in information modelling aligned with standards (SysML, UML).

Key Responsibilities

• build an information model, aligned with element management standards and specifications, that represents the system functionality via which an operator shall be able to manage and control his network.
• build a scalable system architecture of the Network Management System using cloud native components and micro services architecture.
• collaborate with specialists and architects covering different technology domains.
• contribute to an NMS application architecture for configuration management of the network elements and functions.
• contribute to an NMS application architecture for receiving events, notifications, statistics collection from the different network elements and functions.
• collaborate with the development teams to ensure the defined system architecture is implementable, inclusive of effort estimation and test strategy.
• collaborate with other system architects and development teams to work on proof of concepts and early evaluation.

• Ability to communicate clearly and concisely, both orally and in writing.
• Ability to distill and present information to the larger organization.
• Knowledge of model driven system architecture and engineering methodologies with a knowledge of SysML and UML is a big plus.

Qualifications
