• Design and support telecom signaling flows using Diameter protocols (Gy, Ro, Sy).
• Design and support telecom signaling flows using SS7 protocols (CAMEL, INAP, MAP).
• Work with SIGTRAN stack protocols such as M3UA and SCTP for IP-based signaling.
• Integrate charging platforms with BRM, provisioning systems, mediation, and external systems.
• Monitor system performance, logs, KPIs, and signaling traffic.
• Troubleshoot complex production issues and ensure high availability of charging systems.
• Perform performance tuning, JVM optimization, and system scalability improvements.
• Work in high-availability production environments with real-time SLAs.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (network, billing, DevOps, operations).
• Participate in solution design discussions and architecture decisions as SME.
• Prepare technical documentation, runbooks, and solution design artifacts.
• Implement CI/CD pipelines for automated build and deployment processes.
