Job Reference No: 4063

Job Purpose:

Responsible for systems and solutions with cloud-based architecture for data centre and hosting firmware and configuration updates for our RTU, AMM, GridKey range, and other automation products. This includes both application-level software development and associated documentation/maintenance. Responsibilities would also include supporting the team in developing the server-side framework and the front-end web pages to visualize information from the back-end application services you will develop.

A key element of this role is the enhancement and development of cloud-based architecture to derive actionable information for our customers. An existing cloud-based architecture for data center already exists, which is used to process the large amounts of data from the GridKey and podium devices. This is implemented using several languages (C#, Blazor, Html, CSS, Java script) and Java/scala/Spark to process the data, aggregate it and perform some initial analytical processing. The role profile expects this initial cloud-based architecture for the data center to be built upon and expanded over time, to suit the needs to different requirements.

Job Context

The role involves working as a team member within the global Data Centre development team, who collectively execute all the necessary activities to maintain, improve and optimize our products for the customer and production – considering especially the ease-of-use and reliability aspects.

This role is also at times customer facing, to ensure that analytical packages meet the customers’ expectations, and their feedback is fully understood, considered, and actioned. As each customer’s needs are different, the skill set of the role will need to adapt to keep pace with the latest technological advancements, in terms of analysis techniques, tools and frameworks. The emphasis is on delivering software applications and actionable information, with an expectation to be able to pick-up and maintain code/development environments that have been previously established.
