Software Engineer

You will join the Platform as a Service (PaaS) team, the backbone of Cisco's digital infrastructure.

You will contribute across the full-stack lifecycle of platform offerings, building and enhancing internal platform capabilities that enable development teams to onboard, operate, and monitor services efficiently.

Responsibilities:

• Full Stack Development: Build and enhance platform portals and dashboards using modern frontend frameworks (React or Angular) and backend services (Python and/or Go).
• Backend Services: Develop and maintain REST APIs and microservices that support platform workflows, integrations, and operational tooling.
• Platform Support: Contribute to PaaS offerings including API Gateways (Mashery, Mule) and Kafka-based messaging.
• Operational Excellence: Participate in CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins, Argo CD, and Argo Workflows, and support Kubernetes-based deployments.
• Quality & Collaboration: Write clean, testable code, participate in code reviews, and work closely with infrastructure, SRE, and engineering teams.
• Production Support: Assist with troubleshooting, defect resolution, and on-call support for platform services as needed.

Minimum Qualifications:

• 3+ years of software engineering experience with hands-on full-stack development across frontend and backend technologies.
• Experience building web applications using React or Angular, with solid understanding of JavaScript/TypeScript, HTML, and CSS.
• Proficiency in Python and/or Go for backend service development, including REST API design and implementation.
• Experience working with relational or document databases such as PostgreSQL or MongoDB.
• Familiarity with CI/CD practices and containerized deployments (e.g., Jenkins, Docker, Kubernetes).

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with platform engineering, API Gateways (e.g., Mashery, Mule), or messaging systems (Kafka).
• Exposure to AI/ML or GenAI tooling (e.g., LLMs, LangChain, RAG, or automation for operational workflows).
• Experience with observability, monitoring, and debugging production distributed systems.
• Understanding of microservices architecture, event-driven design, and cloud-native patterns.
• Strong communication skills and ability to work effectively in a collaborative, global team environment.
