Key responsibilities include:

• Develop & Maintain Mission-Critical Systems: Design, implement, and maintain software solutions for safety-critical applications, ensuring compliance with industry standards for reliability, safety, and performance.

• Coding: Work with a wide range of programming languages and tools (e.g., C++, Python, Java, Rust, GoLang, etc.) depending on project requirements, adapting quickly to new technologies as needed.

• Software Safety & Security Focus: Apply software safety and security best practices in your coding, testing, and development processes.

• Team Leadership & Cross-Functional Collaboration: Lead and guide software development teams, providing technical mentorship to junior developers and coordinating project deliverables, whilst working closely with various stakeholders, architects, and other software developers to design, implement and deploy mission-critical systems. Foster best practices in software development methodologies across the team.

• Testing & Validation: Develop comprehensive test plans & test cases to ensure software integrity through  unit testing, integration testing, and system-level validation, etc. Participate in code reviews and static code analysis to identify and mitigate potential risks early in the development cycle.

• Deployment: Perform ICIT (Installation, Check-out, Integration and Testing) and system validation in the production environment.

• Troubleshooting & Debugging: Proactively identify and resolve performance, safety, and reliability issues in both development and production environments

• Documentation & Reporting: Maintain thorough documentation for code, processes, and test results, ensuring all compliance and audit requirements are met.

• Trained in Software Engineering, Computer Science or Information Technology or equivalent.
• Minimum 6 years of professional software development experience in enterprise, mission-critical environments
• Genuine passion and keen interest in software development, with enthusiasm for learning new technologies, staying current with industry trends, and continuously improving technical skills.
• Strong knowledge in common integration patterns including cloud-native patterns such as microservices and, streaming such as lambda and kappa patterns.
• Knowledge of Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) for web services using REST and RESTful web services, with familiarity with API Gateways as an optional skill. Knowledge of messaging broker middleware / COTS packages such as Solace publisher / subscriber and Solace event streaming
• Understanding of cybersecurity concepts in the domain of cloud technologies, architecture and deployments (e.g. how things are connected and potential risk areas)
• Knowledge and practical experience of virtualized and containerized deployments
• Good knowledge of Cloud technologies and Cloud-native architectures for system design and delivery. Strong focus on cloud-agnostic solutions using Kubernetes, Helm, and Terraform, with familiarity with implementation experience on operationalised cloud platforms such as  AWS or Azure being a plus.

Engineer desired skills and experience

• Experience with multiple programming languages (e.g., Python, TypeScript, Java, Rust, C++, Go, React).
• Familiarity with cloud platforms, microservices, and containerization (Docker, Kubernetes).
• Knowledge of continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines and version control tools (Git).
• Experience with automated testing frameworks and test-driven development (TDD).
• Experience in high-availability, high-performance systems, and real-time software development.

Your appointment designation will commensurate with your relevant work experience. Successful candidates will be offered a 3-year contract in the first instance, and may be considered for placement on a permanent tenure or subsequent contract renewal.
