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

Experience with GCP and AWS cloud services.
Proficiency in developing and consuming REST APIs.
Experience with SQL and relational databases.
Experience with AI/ML development

Additional Skills & Qualifications

Bachelor's degree in computer science, software engineering, information technology, or a related discipline, or equivalent practical experience.
Approximately 2-5 years of software development experience.

Familiarity with automated unit and integration testing.
Basic understanding of cloud computing, containerization, and CI/CD practices.
Experience with frontend applications using React and TypeScript.
Experience with Google Cloud Platform services and cloud-native technologies.
Familiarity with event-driven architecture, asynchronous processing, and data pipelines.
