Job Title: Cloud Software Engineer

Job Description

In this role, you 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. You will work within a cross-functional Agile team to build cloud-native services, data integrations, user-facing capabilities, and platform observability. The position involves designing, building, and deploying cloud-based infrastructure and managed services to achieve scalability, flexibility, and cost efficiencies for private and public cloud systems. The role focuses on creating opinionated cloud environments and systems that form building blocks used by other enterprise and product teams.

Responsibilities

Design, develop, test, and maintain TOP platform components under the guidance of experienced engineers.
Build and integrate REST APIs, backend services, data-processing functions, and event-driven workflows.
Develop integrations with approved data sources from vehicles, service, engineering, manufacturing, and software factories.
Support the ingestion, normalization, validation, storage, and retrieval of telemetry and diagnostic information.
Contribute to web-based interfaces and dashboards for presenting 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

Proficiency in GCP, AWS, and Kubernetes.
Experience in developing or consuming REST APIs and working with structured data formats such as JSON.
Strong command of Java, JavaScript, Python, or TypeScript.
Experience with relational databases, SQL, and basic data modeling.
Familiarity with Docker, APIGEE, and Agile Software Development.
Understanding of the Software Development Lifecycle and CI/CD practices.
Experience AI tools.
Experience using GitHub for version control and code collaboration.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

Bachelor's degree in computer science, software engineering, information technology, or a related discipline, or equivalent practical experience.
4+years of Full Stack software development experience.
Experience with Angular, JS, HTML, CSS, Spring Boot, and extensive experience with GCP/AWS.
AI/ML experience, including building agentic AI solutions, deploying RAG models, and delivering AI/ML project work.
Experience with cloud-native technologies such as Google Kubernetes Engine, Pub/Sub, Cloud Storage, or Cloud SQL.
Familiarity with event-driven architecture, asynchronous processing, and data pipelines.
Experience with API specifications and tools such as OpenAPI or Swagger.
Familiarity with authentication, authorization, role-based access control, and secure coding practices.
Experience integrating AI or machine-learning services through APIs.
