Software Engineers perform development work across the technology stack (both front-end/back-end expertise). They are versatile in how they can add value, demonstrating the ability to manage the completion ofprojects that involve databases, backend services, or the development of front end applications. They should beable to demonstrate a strong understanding of emerging technologies to support the development of newsolutions. Software Engineers understand the full technology stack and underlying applications, services, anddatabases in order to ensure optimal performance.
TASKS AND RESPONSIBILITIES
Develops the conceptual systems architecture design and the supporting technologies needed to enable new and / or enhanced functionality within a given product / application, applying principles that promote availability, reusability, interoperability and security into the design framework.
Supports release planning activities in conjunction with Product Owners and teams.
Identifies high level requirements to support the definition and refinement of a robust testing strategy.
Supports the Product Owner with the identification and definition of enablers / work items to support the architectural runway of a given product / application.
Defines the non-functional requirements (e.g., performance, security, resiliency, etc.) which support the development of epics and user stories aligned to a value stream.
Identifies technical dependencies across several product / application teams to support the implementation of new or enhanced functionality.
Performs development, optimization, and automation activities to support the implementation of a product/application.
Develops and implements front-end architecture to support user interface concepts.
Increases proficiency and understanding of relational and non-relational databases, distributed application architectures, user interfaces and user experience, quality assurance, security concerns, and business value creation.
Drives engineering best practices to deliver higher quality and scalable solutions.
Provides the team with the development strategy, solution recommendations, and estimates for a given product/application.
Participates in scrum ceremonies (sprint planning, retrospective, showcases/demos, stand-ups, backlog refinement, etc).
Creates and executes unit tests which validate the code changes made to support the implementation of a user story.
Uses test driven development (TDD) practices to assist with the detection/recognition of software defects early in the development process.
Estimates, plans, and manages all implementation tasks and reports on development progress.
Designs, builds, debugs, optimizes and implements solutions in approved tool sets and databases.
Develops of high quality, efficient and fault tolerant software.
Supports, extends and builds automated CI and CD pipelines.
Designs and delivers DevSecOps automation for app deployment and testing.
Uses APM/monitoring tools such as Dynatrace/Splunk and browser tools to perform request pure path/waterfall analysis to identify bottlenecks and suggest improvements.
Participates in the development and documentation of department standards and best practices, and mentors junior engineers
Provides the team with solution recommendations and estimates for a given product/application.
Identifies deficiencies within a product/application’s code base and identifies opportunities to improve overall code quality.
Collaborates with team members (e.g., Systems Architects, Systems Analysts) to define project specifications and release documentation for all phases of the product development cycle from product definition to design, through implementation.
Conducts peer code reviews for the software changes made by other engineers within a team.
Assists in other areas of the department and company as necessary.
REQUIRED
