What You'll Do
You will enable yourself and others to deliver high-quality solutions as part of a collaborative product engineering team. You will evaluate multiple approaches to solve problems and act as a velocity multiplier, actively mentoring and coaching other team members. By regularly reviewing and contributing to the refinement of your team's work, you'll lend creativity to solving software problems using core development tools and techniques. You will lead a small team through the design, development and transition of the entire software stack-aligning data, API, and UI components to the norms of the rest of the software product. All while experimenting with new technologies and developing skills across the stack and contributing to the positive flow of your team. Specifically, you will:
Collaborate with other software development capabilities to iteratively design, develop, validate, and operate software at scale using agile techniques.
Provide oversight and guidance for other software engineers.
Lead the development of the implementation plan: designing the solution, setting patterns and practices and aligning to the project roadmap.
Write high-quality application code using emerging technologies and frameworks primarily targeting cloud-based ecosystems.
Verify components at the unit and integration level using proven validation techniques.
Develop supporting scripts and routines that automate procedures and help maintain components in production environments.
What You'll Bring
Your primary responsibility will be to lead small development teams to deliver functioning, validated code leaning on your breadth and depth of domain expertise. You will lend depth and perspective through your increased focus on a specific technology. Collaboration is crucial as you must be able to provide clear direction to your team while incorporating their feedback in order to align with the overall technical direction of the product team. Humble expertise will serve you well as you listen and observe the needs of your client in order to best apply your understanding. Curiosity will drive you to understand why your team's check-in broke the build as well as to lend a hand in maintaining the pipeline or test suite. A desire to learn and grow will always be fed by those around you as you continue to expand your technical acumen across technologies and platforms. You take pride in your work and take time to appreciate the contributions by your team to the software that you are building.
