Summary:
We're looking for a backend-robust individual contributor with 3–8 years of experience to join the Fault Management team within our AIOps platform. You'll own modules end-to-end — designing LLDs, building near-real-time streaming pipelines using Kafka Streams, Kafka Connect, and Apache Spark, and developing microservices in Java and Spring Boot. You'll be expected to debug complex distributed systems, act as the primary escalation point for critical production issues, and actively leverage agentic/LLM-assisted development tools. Solid knowledge of Kafka internals and distributed systems principles is a must. Experience in AIOps, telecom OSS/BSS, or cloud-native deployments is a plus.

Near-Real-Time Pipelines
Build event-driven pipelines with Kafka Streams and Kafka Connect for fault ingestion, correlation, and enrichment
Implement Spark batch and micro-batch jobs for large-scale fault analytics
Meet SLA targets for latency, throughput, and fault tolerance

Backend Engineering
Build cloud-native microservices using Java and Spring Boot
Design idempotent consumers, DLQs, and back-pressure for exactly-once / at-least-once semantics

Agentic Development
Use LLM-assisted coding and AI pair-programming tools to accelerate delivery
