We are looking for a passionate Senior Software Engineer to join our Core AI Services team at the forefront of industrial AI Innovation.

- Develop secure, well-documented public APIs and SDKs for consumption by internal engineering teams and external partners.
- Drive feature implementation from design to production, taking ownership of code quality, performance, and system reliability.
- Partner with cross-functional teams to deliver end-to-end solutions across data pipelines, orchestration layers, and service APIs.
- Embed robust security controls, identity management, and privacy-by-design practices across all AI services.
- Actively contribute to design reviews, code reviews, and technical discussions to champion engineering best practices.
- Support and mentor junior and mid-level developers, fostering a culture of continuous learning and innovation.
Core Skills and Qualifications:
- 5-8+ years of software engineering experience across the full stack, with strong expertise in cloud-native backend development (.NET C# a plus).
- Hands-on experience with containerized deployments in Kubernetes.
- Deep understanding of RESTful API design, versioning, testing, and full lifecycle management.
- Strong knowledge of securing APIs (OAuth2, OIDC, RBAC) and implementing data privacy best practices.
- Proficiency in using modern AI-assisted development tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot) to accelerate daily engineering workflows.
- Strong problem-solving abilities, with a track record of analysing complex technical challenges and delivering scalable solutions.
- Experience working in Agile/Scrum teams across distributed global R&D locations.
- Proven ability to mentor colleagues and elevate team code quality
