Nokia's Cloud and Network Services (CNS) business group is building out a suite of products and capabilities that drive our Autonomous Networks vision. We are creating a data fabric that brings together all the information that we gather from telecom networks with the goal of feeding intelligent decision making for autonomous operations. We are seeking a highly experienced Software Engineer to lead the design, development, and integration of Nokia's Converged Data Management Platform (CDMP) that unifies structured and unstructured data handling, proven scalable data processing capabilities, and integrates with analytics and AI pipelines to enable data-driven decision-making across Autonomous applications. This role is central to building modular, scalable, and cloud-native data services that support ingestion, processing, governance, and metadata management as part of the Autonomous Network Fabric (ANF), a set of SaaS as well as on-premises services operating at petabyte scale. Collaborate with cross-functional teams to align cloud-native CDMP architecture with AN Fabric and applications deployments across on-prem, SaaS, and hybrid cloud environments Architect and implement modular data platform services for stream based and batch processing (e.g., ingestion, processing, cataloging, metadata) using Kubernetes operators Support CI/CD pipelines using GitOps and ArgoCD. Lead integration of CDMP services with data lakehouse, pub/sub services and APIs. Lead integration of CDMP services with AIML services. Ensure end-end platform security with TLS, RBAC, encryption-at-rest, and secure multi-tenancy. Enable Data Studio capabilities for both internal developers, partners, and customers.
