Job description

This opportunity is part of our future project pipelines, meaning we’re proactively connecting with talented professionals for upcoming roles rather than an immediate opening. Additionally, as part of our hiring process, the first step will be a preliminary technical assessment with an AI-powered recruiter. This helps us ensure an efficient, fair, and consistent experience for all candidates.

This role has been categorized as a Remote position. “Remote” employees do not have a permanent corporate office workplace and, instead, work from a physical location of their choice which must be identified to the Company.

Your Mission

Your Day-to-Day

• Key Activities: Ensuring the team understands acceptance criteria, tracking daily progress, limit team’s QA kickback, deliver stories as assigned, find opportunities to increase capacity and velocity.
• How a Current Praxenter Describes The Role: “I spend a lot of the sprint planning and delegating technical work for other devs, anticipating how to deliver as much value for the client via efficiency and tech debt prevention. This has the added benefit of allow assigned devs to grow technically while also reducing as many unknowns as possible in the cone of uncertainty. It’s my job to keep in sync with delivery leads on priorities, team allocation, risks, etc, as well as act as the technical interface for the client to help guide them without overloading them with technical jargon.”
