• You will impact all phases of our projects and all phases of the SDLC.
• You will leverage your existing depth of knowledge to maximize your impact.
• You will grow into new and/or adjacent technologies and domains to broaden your impact.

What You’ll Bring

• 5+ years in software development, including working in teams.
• Experience with agile methodologies such as Scrum, Kanban or XP.
• Deep knowledge in the language and library/framework ecosystems of Java, JavaScript/Typescript, or Python.
• Experience in defining and utilizing software development best practices.
• Project Structures, coding practices, testing practices.
• Definition and utilization of CI/CD pipelines.
• Architectural patterns that balance scope and scale of project needs.
• Identification and mediation of technical debt within a code base over time.
• Deep knowledge building high quality, scalable, and production ready software, such as:
• Services with well defined APIs utilizing REST, GraphQL, messaging, or similar.
• Data Pipelines to integrate systems, enable analytics, or similar.
• Web Applications utilizing modern technology approaches.
• Mobile Applications that are built with cross platform development in mind.
• Experience constructing systems by composing smaller components. The breadth could include:
• Definition of work units that can be implemented in an efficient, additive way.
• SOA, Microservices, or similar architectural patterns.
• Separation of concerns via good OOP and/or FP design.
• Experience managing data. The breadth could include:
• Design of database schema, constraints and transaction boundaries.
• Read/Write design trade‑off decisions and how it relates to mutable vs. immutable data state.
• Use of Relational vs NoSQL stores for appropriate use cases.
• Bachelor’s degree in engineering, information systems, computer science, business administration, or other related fields.

Preferred Experience

• Hands‑on experience developing with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure, etc.).
• Hands‑on experience with varied compute technologies (Docker, Kubernetes, Lambda, etc.).
• Hands‑on experience with pipeline definitions (Gitlab‑ci, Circle, Travis, etc.).
