Main Duties:

Feasibility Phase

• Participate in feasibility studies to assess technical solutions for customer requirements.
• Estimate development and integration effort in collaboration with project stakeholders.
• Analyze existing product capabilities and identify areas for customization or enhancement.

Development Phase

• Design and develop custom features, modules, and plugins to meet customer needs, ensuring seamless integration into the Qosmos product or customer environments.
• Perform reverse engineering of network protocols and implement corresponding DPI plugins.
• Follow coding standards and internal procedures for quality and maintainability.
• Participate in peer code reviews to ensure high code quality across the team.
• Write user and technical documentation for developed features and components.
• Use software profiling tools to identify performance bottlenecks and propose optimizations.
• Benchmark solutions to evaluate performance, scalability, and resource utilization.

Testing & Validation

• Develop automated testing tools and frameworks to support features and new development validation.
• Execute functional and automated test scripts to verify Product and system behavior.
• Validate feature operation in target environments, both internally and in collaboration with customers.
• Analyze test results and provide feedback to ensure carrier-grade stability and reliability.

Integration & Post-Project Support

• Support integration efforts by providing technical assistance to customers, either remotely or on-site when required for confidentiality, limited access, or urgent timelines.
• Collaborate with customer R&D teams during integration phases to troubleshoot issues and ensure smooth deployment.
• Assist Customer Support in analyzing and reproducing issues, proposing workarounds or patches when needed.
• Collect relevant logs and diagnostic information to aid in issue resolution.
• Communicate regularly with project management to report progress, risks, and mitigation strategies.
• Ensure that technical goals and project deadlines are met.
