What We're Looking For:

As a Software Engineer at Zebra, you will be a key driver of our digital innovation, building the next generation of enterprise-grade cloud solutions that power businesses worldwide. This is a role for a talented and autonomous full-stack engineer who thrives on tackling complex challenges. You will have significant latitude to determine the objectives of your assignments and will be expected to accomplish your work without considerable direction. Your core responsibility will be to research, analyze, design, develop, and maintain the critical end-to-end software for our products and systems. This involves taking full ownership of the development lifecycle—from crafting modern frontend interfaces to engineering robust backend microservices. You will perform complex system integration of software and hardware to maintain throughput and program consistency. Beyond coding, you will develop, validate, and test application structures and user documentation, ensuring we deliver sophisticated, high-performance platforms that are resilient, scalable, and serve as the critical link between our users and our powerful cloud ecosystem. If you are a passionate expert in building full-stack solutions and are driven to solve real-world problems, we want you on our team.

• Hands-On Development: Actively design, develop, test, and maintain high-quality full-stack software. This role requires significant hands-on coding across both frontend and backend as a primary function.
• Architect & Design End-to-End Solutions: Architect and design highly complex and realtime cloud-native projects through hands-on prototyping, creating novel solutions and technologies.
• Establish Technical Requirements: Establish and define technical requirements for complex software projects, ensuring correct feature prioritization and architectural alignment from the start.
• Champion Code Quality: Drive the code review process across the stack, setting a high bar for quality and personally developing technical improvements for the team.
• Provide Technical Leadership: Use your status as a hands-on full-stack expert to provide technical leadership across multiple engineering disciplines and programs.
• Drive Innovation: Document new ideas and methodologies to be shared across software teams and define requirements for new tools to solve complex problems.
• Initiate Collaboration: Proactively initiate collaboration and build positive relationships with other engineering disciplines to ensure project alignment and success.
• Coordinate & Mentor: Mentor and coordinate the activities of other personnel, providing technical guidance and fostering growth through direct, hands-on examples.

• Expert Full-Stack Development Experience: Proven, hands-on expertise across the full technology stack.
• Frontend: Experience with modern frontend frameworks, specifically React.js.
• Backend: Strong proficiency in server-side languages like Java or JavaScript/Node.js.
• Microservices: Deep, hands-on experience in microservice architecture, including design, development, and deployment.
• Cloud Platform: Deep expertise with Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and its core services (GKE, Pub/Sub, Cloud Functions, etc.).
• Databases: Expertise in designing and managing scalable databases (e.g., Firestore, PostgreSQL, BigQuery, MongoDB).
• Testing: Demonstrable experience with testing frameworks and methodologies across the stack (e.g., Jest, JUnit, Cypress) to ensure code quality.
• Exclusion of DevOps-Only Experience: This is a software architecture and development role. Candidates with experience limited to only DevOps, SRE, or cloud administration are not eligible.

Preferred Skills

• Android Development: Experience with native Android application development (Java/Kotlin) and integrating mobile clients with backend services.
• Multi-Cloud Knowledge: Familiarity with other major cloud platforms like Microsoft Azure or AWS.
• CI/CD Implementation: Understanding and experience with building and maintaining Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipelines.
• Cloud Security & Cost Management: Knowledge of cloud security best practices and experience with cloud cost optimization.
• Modern Practices: Hands-on experience with containerization (Docker, Kubernetes) and Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform).
