Senior Software Engineer

Description

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

The work covers the full cycle of a product component: gathering and scoping requirements, designing, coding, testing, troubleshooting defects, maintaining applications and tracking progress against approved milestones and timelines.

Responsibilities

• Find the gaps and changes between what customers and the business expect and what the current product or solutions already do, including per-iteration work when the team runs agile.
• Sort requirements by type, such as functional or non-functional, and derived, imposed or emergent.
• Spot likely risks and problems during requirements gathering, tell the relevant stakeholders, and propose fixes.
• Help write user stories for components, applications and complex features on agile teams.
• Help shape solutions so that processes and applications work together for specific components or modules, weighing trade-offs against business requirements.
• Help turn high-level designs into detailed designs covering mock screens, pseudo code and functional logic for specific modules.
• Write or configure lean code for whole components and applications, making sure they meet business, technical and non-functional needs, including maintainability, high availability and scalability.
• Help choose languages such as JavaScript, Python or C, plus 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 work in CI/CD, testing or other processes where applicable.
• Build telemetry features on your own when needed.
• Make sure security policy requirements are applied during code development and configuration.
• Turn customer requirements into test objectives, then design and run test cases for each component or module using suitable testing tools.
• Find and report errors and defects across the whole component.
• Track and analyse defects in components and modules, and run regression tests after every code change to confirm fixes.
• Review defects from earlier projects to prevent similar ones.
• Diagnose performance and availability bottlenecks in applications.
• Run complex maintenance tasks on applications without supervision.
• Track the right metrics to monitor application performance, and carry out corrective, adaptive and perfective maintenance and re-engineering.
• Analyse application logs, maintenance records and performance data, and report your findings.
• Judge which change requests are valid and feasible.

Requirements

• A bachelor's degree or equivalent in computer science, computer engineering, computer information systems, software engineering or a related field, plus 3 years of software engineering or related experience; or 5 years of software engineering or related experience.
• Experience coding in an object-oriented language such as Java, Ruby or Python.
• Experience designing and testing relational database management systems.
• Experience designing and building custom templates for scaling cloud infrastructure with Helm or Terraform.
• Experience building frontend interfaces with ReactJS, AngularJS or EmberJS.
• Experience moving on-premises services to cloud platforms such as AWS or Google Cloud.
• Experience building applications on NoSQL databases such as MongoDB, DynamoDB, Redis or Cassandra.
• Experience designing and implementing client-server applications.
• Experience designing and implementing REST APIs.
• Experience with testing suites such as Cypress, Selenium or Cucumber.
• Experience with observability tools for logs and metrics, such as Splunk, Datadog, Wavefront or Elasticsearch.
