Job description

Hazen and Sawyer is looking to add a junior- to mid-level developer to our team in London. This position will be part of the Cloud Services team, which is dedicated to providing professional level cloud-based software systems and architecture to create digital products for customer and internal use alike. The team works both internally and with customers to identify digital products’ needs, develop software systems to implement those needs, and provide secure and cost-effective hosting options.

This position will report to the Director of Cloud Services and will be a member of a small mixed-discipline team working together to bring modern cloud-based applications to the Hazen digital products portal. This position will involve, but is not limited to, working with ArcGIS experts to integrate maps, AI/ML experts to expose models via web applications, executing software engineering processes to capture software requirements from customers and internal Hazen teams, designing and implementing full-stack solutions giving users an intuitive user interface, a robust server-side logic tier, and cloud-solutions based on accepted Well Architected Framework guidelines.

• We currently have over 2,000 employees in 70+ offices throughout the United States, Latin America, Canada, and the UK.

• Implement software to interact with various database technologies (SQL, NoSQL, et al)
• Create, document and implement strategies for deploying developed software to the cloud
• Create, document and execute test plans to ensure developed software is of the highest quality, meets requirements, and handles errors and exceptions appropriately
• Participate in Hazen directed software development processes, meetings and use Hazen provided source code repositories and accepted DevOps patterns
• Follow Hazen software guidelines, best practices and standards
