Team Introduction

There are 3 products running on premises in Mobile operators data centers and in the cloud, with tens of installations all over the world:

• Product 1: Handling mobile calls, forwarding or rejecting, charging them.
• Product 2: Handling mobile data sessions, doing protocol conversion, session correlation, hiding network topology.
• Product 3: Sending notifications to subscribers via SMS, email, push and other protocol, based on incoming requests, remote servers availability.

All these products are designed for network intensive communication, are based on event driven application server and handle tens of thousands operations per second.

• Design and develop new features in the products above like: adopting new protocol to notification related product, implement the new flow for mobile data sessions related product.
• Fix performance issues that happen in Production: localize and reproduce on local env, troubleshoot and fix.
• Maintain regression set of tests: minimize test execution time, make test results stable.
