Senior Software Engineer

Description

The role is Senior Software Engineer, based at 811 Excellence Dr, Bentonville, AR 72716.

The work covers a full software lifecycle: requirements, design, coding, testing, defect handling, maintenance and schedule tracking.

Responsibilities

• Look through existing products and solutions to see which could meet a business or technical need, and find the gaps between them and what customers expect, adjusting per iteration if the team works in agile.
• Sort requirements into types such as functional, non-functional, derived, imposed or emergent.
• 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 when working in agile.
• Help design solutions so that processes and applications work together across the modules of a product, weighing trade-offs against business requirements.
• Help turn high-level designs into detailed designs, including mock screens, pseudocode and functional logic for each module.
• Write lean, configured code for whole components and applications so they meet business, technical and non-functional needs, including maintainability, availability and scalability.
• Help choose languages such as JavaScript, Python or C, development standards and tools for coding and configuration.
• Learn the basics of new languages and frameworks that will be useful for future work.
• Write scripts that automate repetitive and routine tasks in CI/CD, testing or other processes where applicable.
• Build telemetry features when needed, working independently.
• Make sure security policy requirements are applied to components and applications while code is written or configured.
• Map customer requirements to test objectives, then create and run test cases for components and modules using suitable testing tools.
• Track and analyse defects in a component or module, run regression tests after every code change to fix them, and review defects from past projects to prevent repeats.
• Diagnose performance and availability bottlenecks in applications.
• Carry out complex maintenance on applications independently, including corrective, adaptive and perfective work and re-engineering.
• Monitor application performance through relevant metrics, analyse logs, maintenance data 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.

• 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.
