Job Title: Cloud Software Engineer

Job Description

The Software Developer will support the design, development, testing, and deployment of the Telemetry & Observability Platform (TOP). This enterprise platform integrates vehicle telemetry, diagnostic information, engineering artifacts, manufacturing evidence, service data, and software lifecycle signals to provide actionable diagnostic and software-health insights. The role involves working within a cross-functional Agile team to build cloud-native services, data integrations, user-facing capabilities, and platform observability.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, test, and maintain TOP platform components under the guidance of engineers.
• Build and integrate REST APIs, backend services, data-processing functions, and event-driven workflows.
• Develop integrations with approved vehicle, service, engineering, manufacturing, and software-factory data sources.
• Support the ingestion, normalization, validation, storage, and retrieval of telemetry and diagnostic information.
• Contribute to web-based interfaces and dashboards used to present diagnostic, operational, AI-performance, and platform-health information.
• Implement logging, metrics, distributed tracing, error handling, and health checks for platform services.
• Write unit, integration, API, and automated regression tests.
• Participate in code reviews and address feedback related to maintainability, performance, security, and coding standards.
• Support CI/CD pipelines, containerized deployments, configuration management, and cloud environment troubleshooting.
• Assist with the integration of AI services through governed APIs and standardized interface contracts.
• Implement role-based access controls and follow enterprise security, privacy, data-retention, and auditability requirements.
• Create and maintain technical documentation, including API specifications, deployment instructions, support procedures, and design notes.
• Participate in backlog refinement, estimation, sprint planning, demonstrations, and retrospectives.
• Investigate defects and operational issues using logs, metrics, traces, and other platform evidence.
• Identify technical risks, dependencies, and blockers and communicate them promptly to the delivery team.

Essential Skills

• Understanding of cloud computing, containerization, and CI/CD practices.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in computer science, software engineering, information technology, or a related discipline, or equivalent practical experience.
• Approximately 7+ years of software development experience.
• Experience developing frontend applications using React and TypeScript.
• Familiarity with event-driven architecture, asynchronous processing, and data pipelines.
• Experience implementing platform observability using logs, metrics, traces, dashboards, and alerting.
• Familiarity with OpenTelemetry or comparable observability standards and tooling.
• Experience integrating AI or machine-learning services through APIs.
• Familiarity with authentication, authorization, role-based access control, and secure coding practices.
