At the department of Autonomous Transport Solutions (ATS), we are developing transport solutions for the future. The Connectivity team plays a crucial role in ensuring secure and reliable communication between autonomous vehicles and cloud infrastructure. We are looking for a senior developer consultant who is enthusiastic about building robust connectivity platforms and enhancing the autonomous connectivity landscape.

Your Responsibilities

· Design and Develop our ATS Connectivity Solution: Develop and maintain a secure and reliable cloud-based or on-premise connectivity platform between offboard and onboard systems.

· Identity and Access Management: Manage identity and access control using certificates, ensuring each autonomous truck (AT) has a unique identity and access policies.

· Telemetry and Metrics: Implement telemetry metrics from AT to offboard (cloud platform), including connectivity status, latency, and vehicle metrics.

· Troubleshooting and Monitoring: Integrate logs and metrics into Grafana and Databricks dashboards to enable comprehensive service observability. Leverage automated runbooks to proactively mitigate downtime and accelerate root cause analysis during incidents .

· Robust security; Measures, including encryption, access controls, and regular security updates, to protect sensitive data and mitigate the risk of unauthorized access

· Bring-up: Develop tools for efficient deployment

· Over-the-Air (OTA) mechanisms: Implement bandwidth efficient mechanism for OTA transfer of large files

· Real-time Communication: Enable real-time updates and seamless communication between autonomous vehicles and cloud infrastructure.

Competence profile

• Work Experience: 5+ years of proven work experience in relevant areas.

• Cloud Computing: Solid experience in AWS (Amazon Web Services) Cloud Computing Platform.

• Programming Languages: Proficiency in Kotlin. Experience in C++ is a bonus.

• Message Protocols: Solid experience working with gRPC. Experience with Kafka.

• Development Model: Familiarity with serverless architecture, Docker, and Kubernetes.

• Infrastructure as Code: Knowledge of Cloudformation

• Database Management: Experience with Dynamo DB

• Security: Robust understanding of encryption, access controls, and regular security updates.

• Agile Development: Experience working in an agile environment and participating in continuous deployment and testing.

Note:
We need someone experienced in Kotlin, and C++ is a bonus. Cloud experience is good, so they know how to write code that is running on several instances. Kafka knowledge is secondary to gRPC knowledge. We use the Kafka cluster, so it's good that the person knows best practices, but we do not maintain the cluster in our team.
