- Reliable Ownership– across your projects, components and processes, you are trusted to exercise judgement, meet commitments and to spot and drive resolution of issues
- Informed Advocacy– understand the customer need, business case and wider context so that you can advocate for the right outcomes in areas such as security, quality and ongoing maintenance
Desired Skills/Qualifications
- A degree from a reputable University (preferably STEM) or equivalent years of experience
- 5+ years of experience as a software engineer, covering the full software development lifecycle, in telecoms or a similarly complex domain with high availability requirements
- Mastery of advanced programming concepts such as low-level resource optimizations and high-level design patterns, across multiple languages
- Expertise in software technologies including Linux, IP networking, databases, open-source software and cloud computing platforms
- Experience in more than one specialist domain, examples: real-time collaboration application development, real-time multimedia communications application development, instant messaging and presence application development, SIP application development
- Mastery of code management in Git and/or SVN, including advanced branching
- Excellent problem-solving and communication skills
