Design, develop, test, and maintain TOP platform components.
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

Experience with GCP and AWS cloud services.
Proficiency in developing and consuming REST APIs.
Understanding of object-oriented programming and software design principles.
Experience with SQL and relational databases.
Proficiency in using Kubernetes and Docker for containerization.
Familiarity with GitHub for source control.
Understanding of Agile Software Development and Software Development Lifecycle.
Experience with Spring Boot for building applications.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

Approximately 2-5 years of software development experience.
Programming experience in languages such as Python or TypeScript.
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.
Experience implementing platform observability and using tools such as OpenTelemetry.
