IBM Netcool Developer

About the role

Design and develop modules for event collection, normalization, and correlation across multi-vendor network domains (RAN, Core, Transport, IP/MPLS, and IT Infrastructure).

Responsibilities

• Build rules, probes, gateways, and policies within FM platforms such as IBM Netcool/NOI.
• Develop custom adapters and APIs for northbound and southbound system integrations.
• Implement logic for alarm enrichment, delay, thresholding, resynchronization, suppression, deduplication, and root cause analysis.
• Configure and optimize FM databases and message bus efficiency to handle high event volumes.
• Integrate FM systems with Inventory Topology, GIS, Performance Management, and Trouble Ticketing platforms.
• Implement automation using NOI Runbooks, Ansible, and AI/ML engines.
• Define fault correlation across domains and perform service impact assessments.
• Develop event-driven automation and closed-loop scenarios, including auto-ticketing and auto-healing.
• Collaborate with AI/ML teams to enable predictive fault analytics, anomaly detection, and noise reduction.
• Contribute to the development of AI-based FM assistants for triage, root cause analysis, alarm prediction, and closed-loop orchestration.
• Understand and execute data migration, alarm model harmonization, and integration blueprinting.

Qualifications

• Experience with IBM Netcool/NOI and other FM platforms.
• Strong programming skills in Python, Java, or C#.
• Knowledge of network infrastructure, including RAN, Core, Transport, IP/MPLS, and IT Infrastructure.
• Experience with API development and integration.
• Understanding of data modeling and database design.
• Experience with automation tools like Ansible and AI/ML engines.
• Ability to work collaboratively with cross-functional teams.
