Job Details

Job Description:

The Intel Programmable Solutions Group (PSG) is now Altera, an Intel Company. Altera prioritizes customers with end-to-end FPGAs, accessible AI, software, and supply resilience.

In Q4 2023, Intel announced PSG will be reported as a separate business unit beginning on January 1, 2024, with ongoing support from Intel. This position is associated with that standalone business strategy and is expected to fully transition to a standalone company at some time in the future.

2. Design, develop, and deploy modular and reusable software systems.
3. Write high-quality, maintainable code adhering to best practices.
4. Participate in code reviews, testing, and debugging to ensure software quality.
5. Learn and apply microservices design principles, such as abstraction and domain modeling.

This role is designed for a developer with curiosity and adaptability. You don’t need to be an expert in microservices, but you must have a willingness to unlearn and relearn. If you are ready to embrace this journey, we want to hear from you.

8. Good understanding of load testing tools like JMeter or Locust to optimize APIs and services for low latency and high throughput.
9. Experience in Cloud application development such as building and publishing containers, deploying containers to Kubernetes, uServices architectures.
10. Practical knowledge of microservices patterns and principles. This includes concepts like service discovery, circuit breaker, API gateway, and decentralized data management.

In addition to these skills, one or more of the following will be an added advantage:
