About MBRDI:

Mercedes-Benz Research and Development India (MBRDI), headquartered in Bengaluru with a satellite office in Pune, is the largest R&D center for Mercedes-Benz Group AG outside of Germany. Our mission is to drive innovation and excellence in automotive engineering, digitalization, and sustainable mobility solutions, shaping the future of mobility.

About the Role:

Design and implement scalable APIs and microservices for real-time planning, commit workflows, AI orchestration, and data management in Plan4MO.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design and build secure, performant GraphQL and RESTful APIs for core modules (e.g., Commit Engine, Scenario Planner).
• Develop containerized microservices with well-defined domain ownership.
• Implement event-driven patterns (e.g., Kafka, Azure Service Bus) for system reactivity and loosely coupled orchestration.
• Handle polyglot persistence: PostgreSQL (structured data), MongoDB (unstructured data), Redis (cache), and Neo4j (graph dependencies).
• Collaborate with AI teams to expose models as APIs and implement fallback logic.
• Ensure compliance with security standards (RBAC, audit trails, tokenization).
• Support API versioning, usage throttling, and performance tuning.

Required Skills and Qualifications:

• Proficiency in Node.js, TypeScript, and modern backend patterns.
• Expertise in GraphQL schema design, resolver management, and federation.
• Understanding of microservices architecture, containerization (Docker), and orchestration (Kubernetes).
• Working knowledge of PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and event brokers (Kafka/Event Grid).
• Familiarity with API documentation tooling (OpenAPI, Swagger).
• Experience with high-concurrency systems (200+ concurrent users).
• Exposure to manufacturing planning systems or ERP integrations.
• Implementation of domain-driven design (DDD) in modular platforms.

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs):

• 99.9% backend uptime.
• API response time < 300ms for 95th percentile.
• 100% test coverage for critical service paths.
• Zero production rollbacks due to schema or integration errors.

Tools & Frameworks:

Dev stack: Node.js, GraphQL (Apollo), Express/Fastify

Infra: Docker, Kubernetes, Helm, GitHub Actions

Observability: OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Grafana

Testing: Postman, Pact (contract testing), Jest, Supertest
