• Pair with other engineers to write production code, troubleshoot issues, and work through technical challenges in real time
• Drive strong Agile engineering practices through daily standups, sprint planning, code reviews, and continuous delivery habits
• Own quality by practicing test?driven development and writing thorough unit tests (no dedicated QA team)

• Create and maintain technical documentation and lightweight system diagrams to support shared understanding and operational excellence

• Local to Columbus, OH and willing to work onsite three days per week (Monday/Tuesday/Thursday)

• Experience developing and deploying microservices (Spring Boot experience is a plus)
• Strong capability in API design and REST integrations
• Cloud experience (AWS preferred, but other cloud platforms are acceptable)

• Strong Agile engineering practice, including collaboration, iterative delivery, and code review discipline
• Comfortable working in a paired programming environment
• Proven commitment to quality through unit testing and/or test?driven development, especially in environments without dedicated QA support
