Job description

As a Software Design Engineer on the Global Operations Information Systems Team, you will continue to grow your full-stack enterprise application development and support skills. In this position, you will develop and support full-stack and desktop applications, utilizing both cloud-based (AWS), and on-premises infrastructure, in a variety of development languages, predominantly in Python (Django), Java EE, and others.

In addition, you will provide direct on-going support and continued development for a variety of legacy applications which support mission-critical manufacturing and test operations for our growing world-wide user base.

Our infrastructure consists of both cloud-based, (AWS), and on premises components so previous experience with software development using best practices and tools such as containers, dev-ops pipelines, design patterns, API design, software testing automation is essential.

While initially focused on learning and providing direct user support for the existing cloud and on-premises applications, as you grow your knowledge and experience with the existing applications, environment and customer base, you will become a key resource helping us to enhance our application offerings with new features and capabilities, targeted at a growing world-wide user community.

This is an opportunity for the successful candidate to be part of a team that has an aggressively growing user base and is focused on applying their skills in the area(s) of cloud-based infrastructure design and support.

Responsibilities:

• Learn and provide primary support for the legacy applications and data infrastructure, both web-based and local applications, (utilizing Python (Django), REACT, Java, C#).
• Develop a wide variety of new full-stack, I18N, web-based applications.
• Research, develop, and implement ongoing improvements to our AWS-based and on-premises infrastructure.
• Be a partner in our development and implementation of future technologies and initiatives such as, (but not limited to), continued migration to a Containers and Cloud Service architecture, implementation of microservices, DevOps, and SCADA integration & adoption.
• Champion software development best practices for other developers in the organization.
• Work directly with our user base to identify and understand improvements and enhancements to our services that will provide greater benefit to our users.
• Interface with our corporate IT and other functional organizations as necessary.

Qualifications:

• Batchelor of Science degree in computer science, information technologies, or other engineering-related discipline.
• 3+ years of focused full-stack web development using dev ops and software best practices including Software Design Patterns, Object Oriented design, CI-CD, and Unit/Integration Testing.
• Strong proficiency with full-stack web development using Python, REACT, or other front-end development frameworks.
• Proficiency with Java development, (Experience with Java-EE technologies significant plus.)
• Experience with Cloud and/or Container development using Docker and AWS.
• Experience with RDBMS development. (PostgreSQL a plus).
• Strong English communication skills.
