• Contribute to defining and implementing the product-wide technical roadmap, ensuring success of cross-team initiatives and responsible adoption of new technologies aligned with industry trends.
• In the future, participate in an on-call rotation (that respects your time) to support the team’s software.
• Identify gaps in product requirements and work with Product Owners to design features that meet client needs.
• Plan, implement and execute end-to-end automated tests that validate high-quality results and evolve AlayaCare’s testing practices.
• Help team members understand core concepts and tools of their craft.
• Anticipate problems, recognize barriers, and proactively raise concerns to management and senior members of the technical organization.

What you bring to the team

• 4+ years professional software engineering experience (full-stack development)
• Deep development experience in Python and using PyTest for unit testing
• Deep development experience in JavaScript and frontend frameworks such as Vue.js (preferred), React, or Angular, and corresponding unit testing frameworks
• Experience using SQL databases, Git, CI/CD tools, Docker, SQLAlchemy, cloud computing platforms (AWS preferred)
• PHP is an asset
• Awareness of contemporary industry trends in technology, performance, and software development tooling & practice
• Experience making difficult technical decisions in ambiguous situations
• Excellent collaboration and communication skills (written and spoken) in English, with the ability to tailor your message to both technical and non-technical audiences
