• Participate actively in the full software development lifecycle, including planning, stand-ups, story refinement, and delivery.
• Develop and maintain software using test-driven development (TDD) and continuous integration (CI) practices, leveraging AI-assisted tools to improve code quality and efficiency.
• Collaborate with Product Managers, Product Owners, Quality Assurance, Experience Design, and other technical teams to refine requirements and deliver solutions from inception through customer delivery.
• Write clean, maintainable code consistent with Sovos coding standards and conventions, building expertise in at least one technical area such as databases, web development, or SAP integration.
• Work alongside senior developers to solve complex problems, improve processes and standards, and maintain relevant documentation as you develop.

• Nice to have: Experience with Java, XML/XSD, Cypress or other end-to-end testing frameworks, TypeScript, and RESTful API design.
• Due to client contractual obligations, the successful candidate will be asked to clear a background check upon hire.
