Key Responsibilities

1. Technical Leadership & Architecture

• Own and evolve the technical roadmap for the custom Python‑based polling engine.
• Design and implement scalable, fault‑tolerant architectures capable of handling extremely high‑throughput data ingestion from millions of endpoints.
• Lead code reviews, uphold engineering best practices, and mentor junior and mid‑level developers.
• Manage and optimize containerized deployments using Docker and related tooling, ensuring services are packaged, deployed, and operated efficiently across on‑prem environments.

2. Integration & Reliability Engineering

• Oversee complex integrations with both legacy Telco systems and modern API‑driven platforms.
• Implement resilience patterns such as circuit breakers, retries, and backpressure to ensure the polling engine remains stable during upstream failures.
• Ensure reliable delivery of collected data to downstream systems while maintaining strict performance SLAs.

3. Stakeholder & Cross‑Team Collaboration

• Serve as the primary technical point of contact for non‑technical stakeholders, external vendors, and partner teams.
• Translate business requirements into actionable technical specifications and infrastructure needs.
• Communicate risks, architectural trade‑offs, and system bottlenecks proactively and clearly.

Qualifications:

Core Technical Skills (Must‑Haves)

• Strong Python Development:
• Deep experience building scalable backend systems, with solid knowledge of Kafka pipelines and writing optimized SQL/database queries.
• Concurrency Expertise:
• Strong understanding of threading, multiprocessing, and asynchronous programming to maximize polling throughput.
• Database & Caching:
• Experience with SQL performance tuning and high‑speed caching layers such as Redis or Memcached.
• DevOps & Automation:
• Hands‑on experience with CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitLab CI) and Infrastructure‑as‑Code tools (Terraform, Ansible).
• Containers & Deployment:
• Practical experience with Docker, container orchestration concepts, and managing containerized applications in on‑prem environments.

Nice‑to‑Have Skills (Added Advantage)

• Familiarity with SNMP (v2c/v3), MIBs, and OID structures.
• Understanding of UDP networking behavior (packet loss, fragmentation).
• Experience tuning SNMP parameters such as retries, timeouts, and OID packing.
• Telecom industry experience, especially understanding the working of network devices, OSS/BSS systems, or large‑scale Telco integrations.

Soft Skills

• Exceptional Communication:
• Ability to clearly articulate root causes, timelines, and technical constraints to project managers and directors.
• Crisis Management:
• Calm, structured leadership during outages and war‑room situations.
