We are looking for a Software Engineer (Perl) to work in Lisbon, Coimbra, Braga or Porto (Hybrid).

We're looking for a candidate with hands-on experience in telecom OSS environments. You'll work on backend systems that support network operations — building, maintaining, and improving the software that keeps networks running.

Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain backend OSS applications and automation tools using Perl;
• Build and integrate interfaces with network elements, mediation systems, and OSS/BSS platforms;
• Design and implement solutions for network inventory, provisioning, fault management, and service activation;
• Work with network data — processing, transforming, and routing high-volume feeds from network elements;
• Collaborate with network engineers and architects to translate operational requirements into software solutions;
• Troubleshoot and resolve issues in production OSS environments;
• Participate in code reviews and contribute to engineering best practices

Requirements

• 3–5 years of professional software engineering experience with Perl as a core skill;
• Hands-on experience in a telecom OSS context — network inventory, fault management, provisioning, or data mediation;
• Familiarity with telecom protocols and standards such as SNMP, SOAP/XML, TL1, or NETCONF/YANG;
• Experience integrating with NMS/EMS systems or network element APIs;
• Solid SQL skills and experience with relational databases (Oracle, MySQL, or PostgreSQL);
• Comfortable in Linux/Unix environments with shell scripting;
• English proficiency at C1 level or above;
• Able to work from the office a minimum of 2 days per week.
