Senior Software Engineer

Description

The team builds and maintains software components and applications. This senior role covers the work from requirements gathering through design, coding, testing and upkeep.

You will work on both new solutions and existing products, and you will handle complex maintenance on your own.

Responsibilities

• Compare customer and business expectations with the current product to find gaps and needed changes, scoped to each iteration when working in agile.
• Sort requirements into their applicable categories.
• Spot likely solution risks during requirements gathering, alert the right stakeholders, and propose corrective steps.
• Help write user stories for components, applications and complex features in agile work.
• Help design solutions so that processes and applications work together across product modules.
• Weigh trade-offs in component design against business needs.
• Help turn high-level designs into detailed designs with mockups, pseudocode and functional logic for specific modules.
• Write and configure lean code for whole components or applications, checking that they meet business, technical and non-functional needs, including maintainability, high availability and scalability.
• Help choose languages, development standards and tools.
• Proactively learn the core concepts of languages and frameworks that will be useful later.
• Write scripts to automate repetitive, routine work in CI/CD, testing and other processes where suitable.
• Build telemetry features independently when needed.
• Make sure security policy requirements are applied during coding and configuration.
• Translate customer requirements into test objectives.
• Identify and write test cases for components and modules.
• Run tests to find errors and defects across the full component.
• Run different types of tests using suitable tools.
• Track and analyze defects, and run regression testing after every code change.
• Review defects from past projects to prevent similar ones from recurring.
• Diagnose performance and availability bottlenecks in applications.
• Carry out complex application maintenance independently.
• Monitor application performance through relevant metrics.
• Perform corrective, adaptive and perfective maintenance, along with re-engineering.
• Analyze logs, maintenance records and performance data, and report your findings.
• Assess change requests to decide which are valid and feasible.
• Keep the project on track against approved milestones and timelines.

Requirements

• Master's degree or equivalent in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Computer Information Systems, Software Engineering or a related field, plus 1 year of software engineering or related experience; or a Bachelor's degree or equivalent in one of those fields, plus 3 years of software engineering or related experience.
• Experience designing and building REST APIs with Java and Spring Boot.
• Experience designing scalable relational database schemas and data models.
• Experience building and maintaining NoSQL data using sharding and partition keys.
• Experience designing and building CI/CD pipelines with validation hooks for code coverage, builds, linting, dependency and vulnerability checks, and unit and regression tests.
• Experience writing robust, maintainable backend Java code using object-oriented principles.
• Experience producing high-level and low-level designs for backend processes.
• Experience building backend microservices with J2EE, Hibernate, JPA, JDBC and Spring configuration.
• Experience applying Singleton, Factory, Strategy and Adapter design patterns.
• Experience building dashboards, alerts and metrics for production systems.
• Experience working in Agile software development.
• Any amount of experience with these skills is accepted.
