What they need
We are supporting a client on a live requirement for a highly experienced Senior Telecom Software Engineer to design, build, integrate, and operate next-generation telecommunications platforms.
This is not a general software engineering role . We are specifically looking for engineers with genuine, hands-on experience across Telecom OSS/BSS environments , combined with strong backend software engineering capability.
The ideal consultant will have worked within an MNO, MVNO, broadband, FTTH, FWA, satellite, or similar telecom environment , and understand how customer, product, order, provisioning, charging, billing, and assurance platforms fit together end-to-end.
What you will do:
- Design, build, test, deploy, and support complex telecom software platforms and services.
- Develop scalable, resilient, cloud-native applications using Java and/or C# .
- Build reusable platform capabilities rather than relying solely on vendor-product customisation.
- Deliver solutions across key OSS/BSS domains, including:
- Customer Management.
- Product Catalogue and Product Offers.
- Order Capture and Order Management.
- Service Fulfilment and Provisioning.
- Charging, Rating, and Billing.
- Payments and Balance Management.
- Settlement and Revenue Processing.
- CDR and Usage Processing.
- Assurance and Support Management.
- Design and deliver integrations across legacy, vendor, partner, and internal systems.
- Develop RESTful APIs and event-driven integration solutions .
- Support orchestration, workflow, and state-machine capabilities.
- Apply TM Forum Open APIs and Open Digital Architecture (ODA) principles where relevant.
- Implement modern engineering practices including CI/CD, DevSecOps, automated testing, and infrastructure automation .
- Support monitoring, observability, incident resolution, and production reliability.
What we are looking for:
- 8+ years of software engineering experience .
- At least 5+ years of hands-on Telecom OSS/BSS experience .
- Strong backend development experience using Java and/or C# .
- Proven experience building or integrating solutions across multiple OSS/BSS domains.
- Experience within MNO, MVNO, broadband, FTTH, FWA, satellite, or related telecom environments .
- Strong experience with API-led integration and distributed systems .
- Good understanding of cloud-native architecture, microservices, and modern engineering practices.
- Experience working across complex legacy, vendor, and modern technology environments.
- Strong troubleshooting capability across billing, charging, provisioning, order, customer, and usage-related systems.
Preferred background:
We are particularly interested in engineers who have worked on:
- Telecom OSS/BSS modernisation programmes.
- Product catalogue, order management, and provisioning platforms.
- Charging, billing, settlement, and payments solutions.
- TM Forum Open APIs and ODA .
- Microservices and containerised platforms.
- Event-driven architectures and orchestration engines.
- Cloud-native telecom platforms.
- Real-time assurance, monitoring, and operational analytics.
- Multi-domain telecom environments spanning mobile, fixed, FTTH, FWA, MVNO, or satellite.
Why this role stands out:
- Opportunity to work on next-generation telecom platforms across multiple OSS/BSS domains.
- Strong blend of software engineering, architecture, integration, and telecom domain expertise.
- Exposure to modern cloud-native, API-led, and TM Forum-aligned architectures .
- Opportunity to build reusable platform capabilities rather than simply customise legacy products.
- Complex engineering environment where strong telecom specialists can have a direct impact.
If you are a Senior Software Engineer with deep OSS/BSS experience and strong Java or C# capability, we encourage you to apply.
