Description

Join Nokia’s Autonomous Networks team and help build intelligent platforms that are shaping the AI era. You’ll be part of a collaborative team developing a shared portal platform that enables applications to deliver innovative use cases through common backend services, APIs, and integrations.

Acting as a Backend Developer, you’ll design and build scalable backend services and APIs across SaaS and on-premises environments. This hands-on role offers the opportunity to work on backend architecture, integrations, scalability, and operational excellence while contributing to smarter, more connected autonomous network operations.

Responsibilities

- Design and develop scalable, secure, and maintainable backend services and APIs for portal capabilities and shared services.
- Build reusable service layers that enable multiple Autonomous Network applications to leverage common platform functionality.
- Develop integrations with AN applications, analytics platforms, and operational data sources to support cross-domain and subscriber-centric use cases.
- Define and maintain service contracts, authentication, authorization, and configuration patterns.
- Collaborate with frontend engineers, architects, and platform teams to deliver reliable end-to-end solutions.
- Ensure backend services meet key requirements for performance, reliability, resilience, security, and observability.
- Contribute to automated testing, CI/CD, code reviews, troubleshooting, deployments, and release activities across cloud,



hybrid, and on-premises environments.
- Apply modern engineering practices, including AI-assisted development tools, to improve productivity, code quality, and delivery.

Qualifications

You have:

- Bachelor’s degree or higher in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field, with 5–8 years of relevant software engineering experience in backend development (total experience 8+ yrs).
- Hands-on experience with REST APIs, microservices, distributed systems, and backend programming using Java, Go, Python, or similar languages.
- Good understanding of data models, databases, caching, messaging/event-driven patterns, authentication/authorization, secure API development, and cloud-native practices including containers and CI/CD.Experience working in Agile/Scrum teams, with robust debugging, problem-solving, and collaboration skills; familiarity with AI-assisted development tools such as Cursor, GitHub Copilot, or similar is a plus.

Nice to have:

- Experience building backend systems for enterprise portals, platform services, or operations tools, with exposure to SaaS, on-premises, Kubernetes, and hybrid cloud environments.
- Familiarity with analytics, observability, telemetry, logging, and monitoring frameworks, as well as portal architectures supporting AI or Agentic AI use cases.
- Knowledge of telecom and network domains, including LTE, 5G, RAN, Core, or service operations, is an advantage.
