• Design, develop, and maintain backend applications, APIs, and microservices using Go (Golang) as the primary language, with supplemental development in Python, C#, and Java to support integration and interoperability.
• Build, optimize, and maintain relational databases (SQL Server, Postgre
  
  SQL, MySQL), ensuring high availability, scalability, and data integrity across mission-critical systems.
• Develop and support front‑end components (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) where needed to enable full‑stack functionality and user‑friendly interfaces.
• Engineer and deliver edge and cloud‑based applications that interface with automation technologies, robotics platforms, pharmacy fulfillment and distribution systems to support end‑to‑end supply chain operations.
• Apply software engineering best practices including modular design, code reviews, automated testing, and documentation to ensure reliability, maintainability, and compliance.

• Conduct in‑depth systems analysis, requirements gathering, and programming to design, adapt, and support automation and enterprise platforms, ensuring alignment with operational workflows and business objectives.
• Architect and implement integrations between SAP EWM/WMS and industrial automation technologies (PLCs, robotics, IoT devices), leveraging industry‑standard protocols such as CIP, MQTT, and Modbus to enable seamless data exchange and real‑time decision‑making.
• Develop interface specifications, technical documentation, and integration test plans to validate system interoperability and performance under production conditions.
• Collaborate closely with operations, IT, and supply chain stakeholders to streamline end‑to‑end fulfillment processes, reduce manual touchpoints, and increase system efficiency and reliability.
• Provide technical leadership during integration projects, identifying risks, recommending solutions, and ensuring timely and successful deployments.

• Champion Agile software development methodologies, including Extreme Programming (XP), Test‑First design, pair programming, and iterative delivery practices, ensuring rapid, high‑quality releases that align with business priorities.
• Design, implement, and maintain robust CI/CD pipelines using tools such as Jenkins, Git Lab CI, and Azure Dev Ops to automate builds, testing, and deployments across hybrid environments (on‑premises, edge computing, and serverless cloud).
• Manage deployments and runtime environments across Linux/Ubuntu/Windows servers, containerized platforms (Docker, Kubernetes), and multi‑cloud infrastructures (AWS, Azure, GCP), ensuring scalability, reliability, and cost efficiency.
• Establish automated monitoring, logging, and alerting within Dev Ops workflows to detect issues early and enable proactive remediation.
• Drive a culture of Dev Ops excellence by promoting continuous integration, continuous delivery, infrastructure as code (IaC), and collaborative ownership of system stability between development and operations teams.

• Define and document system architectures, integration boundaries, and technology roadmaps to ensure scalability, fault tolerance, and high availability across automation and enterprise platforms.
• Apply secure coding practices and embed security by design principles into all development efforts, including encryption, identity and access management, and adherence to OWASP Top 10 standards.
• Design and maintain automated test suites (unit, integration, regression, performance, and security) to validate system functionality, resiliency, and compliance under real‑world operating conditions.
• Lead continuous improvement initiatives by analyzing workflows, identifying inefficiencies, and recommending optimized approaches that reduce complexity, increase maintainability, and improve time‑to‑market.
• Research, evaluate, and pilot emerging technologies—including edge computing, robotics frameworks, and AI/ML‑driven automation—and provide data‑driven…
