About the Role

The Platform Engineering domain within the Connectivity group is seeking a Senior Backend Engineer to join the Edge team. This team provides a unified Edge platform for all partner-facing and customer-facing traffic, focusing on security, governance, clear operational ownership, and rapid platform changes without customer risk. The role involves contributing to a modern technology stack and supporting product teams, the company, and customers.

Responsibilities

Design, build, and maintain a secure and performant unified Edge platform for all partner-facing and customer-facing traffic.
Bring a strong engineering perspective to the team, helping to instill software design best practices, scalable system architecture, and high-quality code standards.
Collaborate with Engineers, SREs, and other platform stakeholders to deliver robust, maintainable, and secure infrastructure solutions tailored to the needs of both technical and non-technical internal users.
Actively support platform scalability, observability, and testing efforts, helping to ensure services are production-ready and compliant.
Take part in roadmap and architecture discussions, contributing experience in backend systems and understanding of customer-facing product constraints.
Foster cross-functional collaboration, knowledge sharing, and mentoring within the team.

Requirements

At least 5 years of proven experience as a backend-focused software engineer, designing and building production-grade services and systems.
Strong programming skills preferably with JVM-based languages like Java or Kotlin, along with familiarity with relevant backend frameworks and tooling such as Spring.
Solid understanding of software architecture patterns (e.g., microservices, event-driven architectures, REST/gRPC APIs).
Practical experience with cloud-native development, with strong expertise in AWS.
Experience working with CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure-as-code, and familiarity with DevOps/SRE principles.
Appreciation for the importance of code quality, automated testing, documentation, and observability.
Knowledge of Golang and Python.
Experience with deploying and maintaining Kubernetes workloads.
Familiarity with AI-related AWS services, particularly SageMaker, Bedrock, or similar tooling, is highly desirable.
Prior experience with AI/ML platforms is a strong plus - or a demonstrated eagerness to learn and grow in this direction.
You think like an engineer, act like a product owner, and communicate like a teammate.
Comfortable navigating ambiguity and able to make pragmatic technical decisions.
Strong collaborator who thrives in cross-functional environments and adds value across the software development lifecycle.
Enthusiastic about sharing knowledge and learning from others.
