Responsibilities

• Lead installation, configuration, and end-to-end integration of core network elements — EPC, 5GC, MME, IMS, HSS, DRA — across cloud and on-prem infrastructure.
• Integrate and configure the Entitlement Server (ES) for device authentication and OTA provisioning services, aligned to GSMA.
• Configure and validate signaling and roaming interfaces (S6a, S8, Diameter, IPX) for global MNO/MVNO partner integrations.
• Support core/RAN integration work across QA to Production environments.
• Support integration of KYC subscriber verification with core/BSS for onboarding and identity validation across partners.
• Build and own CI/CD pipelines (e.g. Jenkins, ArgoCD/GitOps) and IaC to automate software rollouts.
• Write and execute MOPs and rollback plans for deployments and configuration changes.
• Stand up element-level metrics, health alarms, and real-time dashboards (Prometheus, Grafana, OpenObserve/OTel).
