  • Collaborate with other developers, Product Owners, and external network experts to integrate new features and scale network coverage.
  • Support other team members, exercise technical leadership, and facilitate knowledge transfer (e.g., via pair programming).
  • Proactively identify technical debt and leverage dedicated OPEX capacity to implement sustainable fixes.

  • Good knowledge of TypeScript and familiarity with a frontend framework like Vue.js.
  • Experience with SQL databases.
  • Experience working in a structured Agile software development team (Scrum/Kanban).
  • Good knowledge of object-oriented programming and SOLID principles.


Preferred Qualifications

  • Solid understanding of networking and cybersecurity concepts, with exposure to vendors and technologies such as Fortinet, Cisco, Meraki, or Arista, is considered a significant asset.
  • Interest or foundational knowledge in integrating AI capabilities (LLMs, RAG, LangChain, etc.) into enterprise software.
