•    Ability to excel in a distributed team model environment 
•    Provide input to impact analysis on other systems

•    Provide accurate estimates (time & effort) for upcoming features based on specifications

•   Mentor less experienced colleagues and contribute to their technical growth

Who you are

  • Hands‑on experience with AI/ML concepts (e.g., predictive analytics, anomaly detection, clustering, automation models)
  • Familiarity with ML frameworks (TensorFlow, PyTorch, Scikit‑Learn) and ability to integrate ML pipelines into production systems
  • Understanding of data engineering workflows and MLOps practices (model training, validation, deployment, monitoring)
  • Demonstrated industry experience in software development: python, APIs (TMforum), unit & integration testing
  • Good experience with DevOps technologies: AWS, docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines
  • SDWAN automation experience ( VeloCloud, Meraki, Fortinet, Mist) is a plus
