- Implement unit and system-level testing strategies to ensure quality and scalability.
- Summarize findings and present recommendations to technical and business stakeholders.
- Push the technical bar by experimenting with emerging technologies and frameworks relevant to AvePoint’s platform.
- Be self-guided and disciplined in managing time, dealing well with ambiguity and leading hands-on technical work.
About You
- Over 6 years of software development experience with proficiency in C#, Python, TypeScript, Node, or similar languages.
- Hands-on experience with modern web frameworks and services development.
- Practical experience building on Microsoft Azure and Microsoft 365 services and/or Google Cloud and Google Workspace services.
- Experience with data pipeline development, ETL processes, and data management tools (e.g., Databricks, Fabric, SQL/NoSQL databases).
- Ability to deal with ambiguity, communicate effectively, and collaborate across teams and disciplines.
- Passion for learning new technologies and quickly ramping on unfamiliar domains.
Preferred Qualifications
- Demonstrated leadership in cross-functional prototype or innovation teams.
- Prior experience with AI/ML prototyping or rapid experimentation in enterprise settings.
- Contributions to open-source projects, technical publications, or patents.
