Sr. Cloud Devlopment Engineer

Overview

Your Role at a Glance

Mastercam is looking for a Senior Software Engineer (Cloud Integration & SDK Connectivity) to help design and build the next generation of cloud-enabled services that integrate deeply with the Mastercam desktop product.

Mastercam is a C++-based CAM application used globally. As part of our long-term product strategy, we are evolving toward a hybrid desktop + cloud platform, where selected services progressively move to the cloud and web while remaining tightly integrated with the desktop experience.

This role will play a key senior engineering role in preparing and executing this transition by building cloud services, contributing to integration patterns, enabling real-time communication, and extending existing SDK capabilities to work seamlessly over web APIs.

This is a hands-on technical leadership role, requiring the ability to develop end-to-end solutions from concept to cloud-deployed production systems.

*Must be located in the Pune area*

How You’ll Drive Success

Cloud Platform & Web Services Development

• Build cloud services primarily using C#/.NET (Azure-first).
• Design, build, and operate production-grade cloud services that integrate with the Mastercam desktop product.
• Develop and maintain REST and/or gRPC APIs with strong contract discipline and long-term maintainability.
• Deliver services designed for scalability, reliability, performance, and cost-awareness in a cloud environment.
• Apply security-first engineering for cloud services, including secure API patterns and service-to-service communication.
• Integrate with OIDC/OAuth2-based authentication/authorization and enterprise identity requirements (in collaboration with platform teams).
• Ensure operational readiness and ownership of services.
• Build with observability in mind (logging, metrics, tracing) and support production operations (debugging, incident response).

Desktop ↔ Cloud Integration & SDK Connectivity

• Build and evolve the integration layer between the C++ desktop application and cloud services.
• Implement integration patterns that work reliably under desktop constraints (performance, responsiveness, connectivity variability, version compatibility).
• Contribute to a structured approach for SDK interoperability and cloud enablement.
• Support a bridge/adaptation approach across multiple SDK surfaces (e.g., C++/.NET SDKs and adjacent components).
• Help enable capability discovery/compatibility awareness so cloud-connected features can adapt across versions and environments.
• Partner with desktop and SDK teams to ship integrations that feel seamless to users and do not destabilize core workflows.

Real-Time, Messaging, and Distributed Integration

• Contribute to distributed integration patterns across desktop clients and cloud services as required by product scenarios.
• Collaborate on integrations that use messaging/eventing platforms such as Azure Service Bus/Event Grid, Kafka, or equivalent.
• When needed by specific scenarios, support real-time or streaming/bidirectional communication using technologies such as WebSockets/SignalR and/or gRPC streaming.
• Contribute to reliable integration patterns for asynchronous systems (resilience, scalability).

Data Contracts, Serialization, and Interoperability

• Define and evolve data exchange contracts between desktop and cloud systems.
• Use and maintain schema-based contracts such as Protobuf and/or JSON Schema.
• Ensure compatibility and controlled evolution of contracts over time.
• Integrate with external and partner services (e.g., tool catalogs, manufacturing services, platform APIs) using clean and maintainable integration patterns.

Platform Alignment (Identity, Roles, Data Services)

• Work effectively within a broader platform ecosystem owned by partner/business-unit teams.
• Understand IAM concepts (roles/permissions, policies, tenancy) well enough to participate meaningfully in technical discussions and implement compliant integrations.
• Integrate with services responsible for data management and versioned artifacts.
• Consume external APIs, identify contract gaps, and propose improvements that make integrations reliable, evolvable, and practical for desktop + cloud usage.

End-to-End Delivery & Engineering Excellence

• Own solutions end-to-end: prototype → production → maintenance.
• Apply engineering best practices: code quality, testing, CI/CD, secure development, and documentation.
• Participate in cross-team technical discussions and raise integration quality through strong execution and collaboration.
• Contribute to code reviews and operational support as required.

Product Context (Not a Skills Requirement)

• Operate in a product environment that includes AI-enabled scenarios (e.g., cloud-based recommendation services and Copilot-adjacent workflows).
• Focus is on integration and connectivity; AI model development or AI orchestration is not required.

The Talents We’re Seeking

Required Skills

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science (or equivalent practical experience).
• 10+ years of professional experience building web APIs (REST, gRPC) and cloud services (Azure preferred).
• Strong proficiency in C#/.NET for building cloud services and APIs.
• Experience integrating native desktop applications with cloud services, including strong understanding of:

1. data serialization formats,
2. schema versioning and evolution,
3. performance considerations across native and managed/cloud runtimes,
4. large, complex codebases.

• Experience with streaming/bidirectional client/server communication patterns (WebSockets/SignalR and/or gRPC streaming preferred).
• Experience designing service-based or microservice-oriented architectures, with strong system design, debugging, and problem-solving skills.

Preferred Skills

• Experience building or supporting developer platforms, SDKs, or extensibility frameworks.
• Experience with event-driven and messaging systems, such as Azure Event Grid/Service Bus, Kafka, or equivalent, with a solid understanding of distributed system design principles.
• Familiarity with CAD/CAM, engineering software, or manufacturing systems.
• Experience supporting hybrid desktop + cloud architecture, including client/server integration patterns.
• Ability to work effectively with native desktop codebases (C++ strongly preferred), and partner with desktop teams
• Experience designing feedback loops from product telemetry/user signals to improve automation over time (evaluation harnesses, offline/online metrics, regression testing).

Success Criteria

• Production-Grade Cloud Integration: Successfully designs and delivers secure, scalable, and reliable cloud services that integrate seamlessly with the Mastercam desktop (C++) application and are used in production.
• Hybrid Platform Enablement: Establishes robust architectural patterns for desktop ↔ cloud communication (REST, gRPC, real-time channels) that enable Mastercam’s transition to a hybrid desktop + cloud platform.
• End-to-End Ownership & Quality: Owns solutions end-to-end—from API design and data contracts to deployment and operational readiness—while ensuring performance, backward compatibility, and schema evolution.
• Platform Foundations & Reusability: Delivers reusable integration components and patterns aligned with shared platform identity and data services that are well-documented and adopted by other teams.
• Technical Leadership & Impact: Acts as a technical leader and multiplier by influencing architecture decisions, mentoring engineers, and raising the overall quality of cloud and integration engineering.
