• Provision, configure and manage GCP services including Cloud Run, Cloud SQL, Secret Manager, Cloud Functions, Pub/Sub, Cloud Storage and VPC networking.
• Create secure and efficient Docker images using multi-stage and distroless build practices.
• Implement inbound authentication using Azure AD JWT/JWKS and outbound OAuth 2.0 client-credentials flows.
• Manage application secrets and environment configuration through a cloud secret-management service.
• Integrate code-quality, security and licence-compliance gates using SonarQube and FOSSA.
• Support deployment monitoring, pipeline health, incident investigation and remediation of technical risks.
• Collaborate through GitHub-based workflows, pull requests, code reviews and controlled release processes.
• Prepare technical documentation and periodic status reports covering development, migrations, testing, pipeline health and blockers.

Required Technical Skills

• Expert proficiency in C# and strong experience building production backend APIs.
• Advanced knowledge of PostgreSQL, including query optimization, transactions and database design.
• Hands-on experience with PostGIS, spatial data and geospatial queries.
• Practical experience with GCP services, particularly Cloud Run, Cloud SQL, Cloud Build and Secret Manager.

• Strong mathematical understanding and ability to work with CAD and GIS coordinate systems.

Preferred Skills

• Experience with Node.js for backend or supporting services.
• Familiarity with ReactJS for supporting web-based map or data-management viewers.
• Experience with AutoCAD and C#-based CAD automation.
• Exposure to Tekton or comparable deployment-pipeline tools.
• Familiarity with manufacturing process authoring, facility-layout planning or industrial GIS applications.

Experience and Qualification

• Minimum 3 years of professional experience in backend development and cloud infrastructure engineering.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Software Engineering or a comparable technical discipline.
• Demonstrated experience owning both application code and infrastructure automation in a production environment.

Soft Skills
