TL;DR

Join Qualcomm Technologies in San Diego as a Senior Software Engineer on the QCT Software Automation and Tools team, where you will design, develop, test, and maintain web-based and cloud-hosted tools for internal engineering teams. You’ll work autonomously to deliver moderately complex systems using microservices architecture with event-driven, CQRS, and domain-driven design patterns. Your day-to-day involves building React/TypeScript frontends deployed via Kubernetes and CloudFront, developing .NET Core and Python backend services, optimizing SQL Server schemas, and integrating AI capabilities like LLM APIs into the platform. You’ll also improve CI/CD pipelines, mentor junior engineers, and contribute to technical direction while remaining hands-on in a collaborative environment. Required skills include TypeScript, React, .NET Core or Python, Git, relational databases, Kubernetes, AWS, and experience with observability tools and AI integration.
