• Carrier Deployment & Integration: Collaborate directly with vendor and customer counterparts to integrate product features in both lab and live production environments.

DevOps Pipeline, Automation & AI Tooling

• Advanced Continuous Delivery: Architect, optimize, and maintain modern CI/CD deployment pipelines to transform manual release procedures into automated, frictionless delivery cycles.

• AI-Powered Troubleshooting & Observability: Evaluate, adopt, and integrate emerging AI tools (such as automated anomaly detection and intelligent log parsing) directly into the production change pipeline.

• Automated Quality Validation: Develop automated post-deployment test suites to instantly validate MCPTT server health checks and core features.

• Technology Adoption: Maintain a continuous learning mindset to rapidly assess new platforms, AI frameworks, and networking technologies to modernize operational toolsets.

Workflow Innovation & Stakeholder Engagement

• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with internal R&D, central AI Engineering, Product Management, and third-party vendors to seamlessly integrate AI-driven enhancements into production workflows.

• Customer-Facing Execution: Support carrier partners and end-customers during validation test cycles for newly deployed MCPTT applications.

• Process Optimization: Identify operational bottlenecks and pioneer context-aware, AI-assisted workflows that eliminate human error and enhance engineer on-call efficiency.

• Shift Flexibility: Willingness and capability to dedicate 30-40% of your working schedule to off-hours/night work for scheduled production change windows.

• Networking & Protocols: Strong foundational knowledge of TCP/IP networking, routing, Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), and telecom management tools.

• DevOps & Automation: Practical proficiency with CI/CD tooling, infrastructure automation, scripting (Python, Bash, etc.), and automated testing frameworks.

• AI Aptitude: Demonstrated agility in evaluating and adopting emerging AI technologies, LLM APIs, or intelligent AIOps tools for real-world software workflows.

• Communication: Exceptional interpersonal and communication skills with experience directly engaging external vendors, Tier-1 carriers, and internal cross-functional teams.
