• Define organizational best practices and standards with senior engineers

• Live our core values of rationality, collegiality, and integrity

What We're Looking For:

• Core Java expertise (five years' experience minimum in a professional engineering role)

• History of outstanding software delivery

• Proficiency in industry design patterns

• Proven ability to lead the design of a complex feature or service with a small, empowered, cross-functional team

• Practiced in continuous integration and continuous delivery and expert user of supporting build and code management tools (e.g. GitHub, Jenkins, TeamCity, JUnit, Karate, TestCafe, JaCoCo, SonarQube)

• Good working knowledge of other programming and scripting languages (Kotlin, Python, bash)

• Capacity to quickly learn new technologies and understand their applications to engineering problems

• Strong leadership skills: can motivate others, hold them accountable with compassion, and mentor them—both synchronously and asynchronously—in system design, code quality, and operational excellence

• Experience designing and incrementally improving processes for continuous software delivery

• Exceptional communication and facilitation skills

• A desire to be hands-on in designing and writing code

• Curiosity and an internal drive to learn and constantly improve

• Experience creating web services (SOAP, REST)
