Key Responsibilities:

• Design and develop cloud-native microservices and RESTful APIs using Python.
• Design and Implement Non-RT RIC components
• Containerize services with Docker and orchestrate them using Kubernetes (K8s).
• Implement and deploy rApps in accordance with O-RAN Alliance specifications and Non-RT RIC/SMO architecture.
• Collaborate with architects and system integrators to manage rApp lifecycle and policy enforcement.
• Utilize Elasticsearch and MongoDB for telemetry, event management, and data persistence.
• Participate in root cause analysis, field issue support, and continuous performance tuning.
• Work closely with DevOps and QA to streamline integration, testing, and deployment cycles.

Required Skills:

• 6+ years of backend development using Python and REST API frameworks (e.g., FastAPI).
• Strong experience in cloud-native microservices development and distributed systems.
• Good exposure and working experience in components such as NonRT RIC and Service Management and Orchestration (SMO) and rApps. 
• Good understanding of O-RAN architecture and SMO platforms.
• Experience with Kubernetes and container-based deployments.
• Proficient in using Elasticsearch and MongoDB for high-volume data handling.
• Strong debugging and troubleshooting skills in production environments.
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitLab CI, Jenkins, GitHub Actions).
• Familiarity with Agile workflows and project tracking (e.g., JIRA).

Nice to Have:

• Understanding of O1 (FCAPS), O2 (orchestration and lifecycle management), and A1 (policy/ML model) interfaces.
• Exposure to TMF Open APIs.
• Exposure to AI/ML-based rApps, closed-loop automation, or network slicing solutions.
• Understanding of service onboarding workflows and TOSCA/YANG-based modelling.

Education:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
