Software Engineers (Mid/Senior)[Remote/Flex] @ PCCW Global

Software Engineers (Mid/Senior)[Remote/Flex] @ ConsoleConnect, PCCW Global for Managed Services

Yes, we're accepting candidates for new positions in 2022!

As part of the Managed Services Agile release train, our teams are looking to integrate and innovate on our systems, processes and services to deliver faster effective operations, to a wide range of global customer facing teams working toward great customer experiences. We're transforming telecommunications and global networks with a technology company mindset and focus.

The multidisciplinary feature teams you would join, bring together knowledge and experience from Global Services & Operations, Transmission Engineering and Network Project management teams, and are looking to embed Software Engineering as a core practice and development skill set for all our teams.

This is a diverse system environment which is made up of in-house tools, our web platform products and commercial off the shelf web applications which are core to existing business support and operations. By leveraging existing tools and doing new development, the mission is to create a connected platform that supports our colleagues to deliver excellence in all our services.

Software engineers in the feature teams form a Software Engineering community of practice with the support of the System Architect to align approaches, technologies and best practices within the Agile Release Train as well as with other Agile Release Trains.

We are distributed between Hong Kong, the Philippines and Australia (Brisbane), using remote collaboration tools, and meeting in person when appropriate for larger planning and team events. (This role can be conducted remotely, and is done so by most of the colleagues in Managed Services. However, if you're located around Brisbane it can be cool to collab with some of your colleagues in the office at some point during the week for a change of scenery and grab lunch!)

The role

This position is a new opportunity to join our agile teams as either a mid-level or senior software engineer. We're looking to create a new permanent team to lay foundations for greenfield development as well as accelerate some in-flight work. In this role, you will have the opportunity to learn about the wide network service offerings and work with our globally distributed team, from refining requirements through to integration testing of our web-based business & operational support systems.

As a software engineer on the team, you will bring experience and knowledge in how to approach feature implementations and work as a developer to deliver the outcomes together. As a collaborative team member, you will have the opportunity to learn new domain knowledge from your teammates, as well as create understanding in others of how to develop code and other software aspects of your team’s deliverables.

Team members today are involved in developing on a diverse set of outcomes; API based systems integration, working with OpenAPI specifications, frontend enhancements on existing web-based systems, Groovy scripting based enhancements of existing systems, working with NodeJS, Java and Django-python apps and web-based configuration of issue management tools.

As our development aspects on the Agile release train progress with integrating our key systems throughout the business, the opportunity to develop new systems and services will arise, with the opportunity to base these on modern technologies such as NodeJS, Typescript, React/Vue, Postgres and more.
