Job description

Your Team Responsibilities

The team is responsible for developing underlying software systems, software infrastructure, and automated upgrades and releases of software components and third‑party software systems used by other development teams. The team follows a typical Scrum methodology where work is broken down into tickets, assigned to team members as available and planned in 2‑week Sprint increments. Each team member is encouraged and expected to participate in daily stand‑up meetings and to “ask for help” as needed to learn, grow, and improve. Team members also rigidly adhere to best practices with code reviews to ensure codebase quality is maintained at the highest level reasonable, and this is also another opportunity to learn and grow from others’ experience and suggestions.

Your Key Responsibilities

As a team member the number one qualifying skill is a willingness (or eagerness) to learn new skills (whether technologies like programming language, APIs, infrastructures such as Kubernetes or Cloud deployments, or simply learning new methods and practices to accomplish typical tasks). The next highest qualifying skill is good communication. As a member of a small, core group whose technical work span everything from scripting an automated step of a larger blue‑green release pipeline, to consulting with other dev teams on underlying JVM (Java Virtual Machine) parameters for garbage‑collection behaviours, to developing a web application used as an internal tool for managing system configurations and software component monitoring, it will be important that you are comfortable communicating technical details with other team members, other development teams, and at times non‑technical audiences such as business product owners. Finally, the third most important responsibility will be to be a team player, as working together productively is crucial to the continued success of the team.

Your skills and experience that will help you excel

• 5 years of experience
• Eager to learn new technology, tools for software development and system administration / maintenance systems
• Good communication skills to share with and hear from other team members
• Comfortable working independently, when needed, on development tasks. Equally comfortable asking for help when stuck.
• Programming experience, ideally in Java and / or Python, but in any modern language(s)
• Kubernetes, containerization (e.g., Docker) experience (not strictly required so long as you are willing to learn)
