Software Developer - Networking

Introduction
At IBM work is more than a job – it’s a calling: To build. To design. To code. To consult. To think along with clients and sell. To make markets. To invent. To collaborate. Not just to do something better but to attempt things you’ve never thought possible. Are you ready to lead in this new era of technology and solve some of the world’s most challenging problems? If so lets talk.

Your Role and Responsibilities
As a Software Developer with the MultiCloud SaaS Platform you will be involved in multiple areas of the software development project which is currently staffed and already in place (back-end devs front end devs DevOps). Prior hands-on experience in developing and testing Cloud-based applications and API/microservices would be advantageous. Exposure and experience with IBM Cloud ROKS Security and Networking and Telemetry would stand you out from the rest.

You may be involved in all areas of the Platform from developing new features and functions to ensuring the production environment remains stable and reliable.

The developer and Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) teams both care about reliability availability performance scalability efficiency and feature and launch velocity. However SREs operate under different incentives mainly favouring service long-term viability over new feature launches. SREs are responsible for ensuring services are resilient responsive and have an up time appropriate to customer’s needs whilst controlling capacity and performance. Additionally improving these services in a highly dynamic environment.
In summary SRE is an engineering discipline that combines software infrastructure and systems engineering to build and run large-scale massively distributed fault-tolerant systems. Day-to-day SREs use automation to limit time spent on operational work and proactively identify potential risk factors and convert them into actionable improvements

Whichever squad you join the overall approach will be to:
* Analyse the requirements and prepare plans code and test to ensure quality deliverables within the multiple-geo Platform team.
* Develop automation tests for the test cases executed & maintain existing regression suite.
* Take ownership of the entire development lifecycle including documentation testing and maintenance.
* Participate in sprint planning and other agile ceremonies.
