What We’re Looking For:

  • 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

  • Expert in developing and delivering features using agile development practices (Scrum, TDD, pair programming, etc.)

  • 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
