Advanced Software Engr

• 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.

The ideal candidate should have solid hands-on experience with most of the following:

• Modern full-stack application development

• Web application architecture and modern frontend engineering

• RESTful APIs and backend service development

• .NET and C# development

• Microservices and distributed-system concepts

• Event-driven architecture and asynchronous processing
• • RabbitMQ or comparable enterprise messaging technology
• • SQL and relational databases, particularly PostgreSQL or comparable platforms
• • Caching technologies such as Redis
• • Data-processing and persistence concepts
• • Authentication, authorization, and secure API design
• • Automated unit, API, component, and integration testing
• • Observability, structured logging, and production troubleshooting
• • Git-based development, branching, pull-request, and release workflows

• Strong hands-on experience with .NET/C# is particularly relevant to the existing platform-services landscape.

   

  Experience Profile

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical discipline, or equivalent practical experience.

  • 5+ years of professional software-development experience, with substantial hands-on development responsibility.

  • Strong experience building production-quality backend, full-stack, or platform software.

  • Experience developing services using microservice, API-driven, and distributed-system architectures.

  • Practical experience with containerized applications, automated testing, and CI/CD.

  • Ability to independently design and deliver moderately complex software components and features.

  • Experience troubleshooting applications and distributed services in development, integration, or production environments.
