Senior Software Engineer

Description

The company builds and runs software products, and this role sits on a team that works on them through each stage of the work.

You will work in an agile setting, where requirements are refined in iterations.

Responsibilities

• Compare what customers and the business expect with what the current product and solutions already do, and note the gaps, updates and changes needed, per iteration where agile is used.
• Sort requirements into their applicable types.
• Spot likely risks and problems while gathering requirements, tell the right stakeholders, and propose fixes.
• Help write user stories for components, applications and complex features.
• Help design solutions so that processes and applications work together across the modules of a product.
• Weigh trade-offs when designing a component against business needs.
• Help turn high-level designs into detailed designs, covering mock screens, pseudocode and the functional logic of each module.
• Build and configure lean code for whole components and applications, checking that they meet business, technical and non-functional needs, including maintainability, high availability and scalability.
• Help choose languages, development standards and tools for coding and configuration.
• Learn on your own the basics of coding languages and frameworks that will be useful later.
• Write scripts that automate repetitive and routine work in CI/CD, testing or other processes where it applies.
• Add telemetry features as needed, working independently.
• Make sure security policy is applied to components and applications while the code is written and configured.
• Map customer requirements to test objectives, then design and write test cases for each component or module.
• Run test cases to find errors and defects across the whole component, and run other kinds of tests with suitable tools.
• Track and analyse defects in components and modules, and run regression tests so every code change fixes its defects everywhere it applies.
• Review defects from earlier projects and solutions to prevent similar ones.
• Find and fix performance and availability bottlenecks in applications.
• Carry out complex maintenance on applications independently.
• Track and analyse metrics to assess application performance, and carry out corrective, adaptive and perfective maintenance and re-engineering.
• Analyse application logs, maintenance data and performance data, and report your findings.
• Assess change requests and decide which are valid and feasible.
• Keep the project on schedule against approved milestones.

Requirements

• Either a Master's degree or equivalent in a related field such as Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Computer Information Systems, Software Engineering, Information Technology, Electronic Engineering or Electrical Engineering, plus 1 year of software engineering or related experience.
• Or a Bachelor's degree or equivalent in one of those same fields, plus 3 years of software engineering or related experience.
• Experience programming in Java, Spring and JavaScript, including object-oriented programming.
• Experience building RESTful microservices with Spring and Spring Boot, and with distributed messaging brokers such as Kafka.
• Experience using Docker and Kubernetes to build, deploy and manage cloud applications.
• Experience designing, building and managing APIs for microservices.
• Experience writing documentation, technical manuals and API flow diagrams in Confluence.
• Experience using Google Cloud Platform to build, deploy and manage microservices.
• Experience running CRUD operations on Oracle, MySQL, NoSQL and Spanner databases.
• Experience using Splunk and MMS dashboards to troubleshoot and fix development and production issues.
• Experience managing repositories for applications with Git.
• The employer will accept any amount of experience with these skills.
