Job description

The company built on breakthroughs. Join us.

Corning is one of the world’s leading innovators in glass, ceramic, and materials science. From the depths of the ocean to the farthest reaches of space, our technologies push the boundaries of what’s possible.

How do we do this? With our people. They break through limitations and expectations– not once in a career, but every day. They help move our company, and the world, forward.

At Corning, there are endless possibilities for making an impact. You can help connect the unconnected, drive the future of automobiles, transform at-home entertainment, and ensure the delivery of lifesaving medicines. And so much more.

Come break through with us.

Our Optical Communications segment has recently evolved from being a manufacturer of optical fiber and cable, hardware and equipment to being a comprehensive provider of industry-leading optical solutions across the broader communications industry. This segment is classified into two main product groupings – carrier network and enterprise network. The carrier network product group consists primarily of products and solutions for optical‑based communications infrastructure for services such as video, data and voice communications. The enterprise network product group consists primarily of optical‑based communication networks sold to businesses, governments and individuals for their own use.

You’ll play a key role in building and maintaining tools that enable scientific breakthroughs while adopting modern development practices.

• Collaboration: Work closely with scientists, modelers, and cross‑functional teams to translate research needs into scalable software solutions.
• Infrastructure Support: Assist with Docker‑based containerization for local development and application deployment; support Kubernetes workflows as needed.
• Continuous Improvement: Evaluate emerging technologies to improve team capabilities and system performance.

Required Education

• BS in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related field; or equivalent professional experience.
• 5+ years of professional experience in full stack development.
• Strong understanding of relational databases (e.g., PostgreSQL, MySQL) and Docker.
• Demonstrated success working in Agile teams (Scrum, Kanban).
• Experience designing and implementing scalable microservices platforms.

Technical Skills

• Frontend: Vue.js/React, TypeScript, ES6+, testing frameworks (Jest, Vitest).
• Backend: Django ORM, REST APIs, Python testing frameworks (unittest, pytest).

Desired Experiences

• Experience with Kubernetes container orchestration.
• Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP).
• Background in scientific research environments or computational science.
• Knowledge of CI/CD pipeline development and microservices architecture.
