Key job responsibilities

Your Primary Duties Will Include

  • Architecting and implementing robust, scalable, and efficient software solutions.
  • Working with customers to understand device provisioning and management challenges and unblocked delivery of new data centers.
  • Collaborating with cross-functional teams, including product managers, designers, and other engineers, to deliver high-quality software.
  • Continuously improving coding practices, testing methodologies, and development processes.
  • Staying up-to-date with the latest industry trends, technologies, and best practices.
  • Mentoring and providing guidance to more junior engineers.
  • Participating in the overall direction and vision of the engineering team and organization.

The ideal candidate for this role will have a strong background in software development, with expertise in areas such as system design, data structures, algorithms, on-device software, and software engineering principles. Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and the ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, collaborative environment are also essential.
