- Implement robust back-end services, APIs, and data pipelines to connect plant-floor systems (PLCs, sensors, MES) with cloud-based platforms.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with manufacturing engineers, data scientists, and operations teams to translate physical process needs into digital solutions.
- Ensure performance, resilience, and security of applications that operate in hybrid environments—on-prem and cloud.
- Write automated tests, perform code reviews, and follow CI/CD practices to maintain code quality and deployment stability.
- Monitor, debug, and optimize applications running in production environments (including occasional support during manufacturing events).
- Contribute to system architecture and participate in technical design discussions with a focus on modularity and long-term maintainability.

- 6 months working with cloud services (e.g., Azure, AWS, or GCP), containers, and deployment pipelines.
Even Better, if you have…
- Understanding of OT/IT convergence and data flow from plant-floor devices (e.g., PLCs, SCADA) to enterprise/cloud systems.
- Experience with edge computing frameworks or hybrid cloud-edge deployments.
- Exposure to manufacturing domains such as process control, quality tracking, or throughput optimization.
- Prior work in high-availability, real-time, or safety-critical environments.
- Passion for solving real-world problems through data, automation, and software.
- Experience with containerization technologies (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes).
- Knowledge of CI/CD pipelines and DevOps practices.
- Experience with performance tuning and optimization of high-throughput systems.
- Familiarity with event-driven architectures.
