Software Debugging Software Engineering Technical Debt Information Technology Production Code

Job description

  • Design, implement, test, and operate major new features in existing systems.

  • Own feature and subsystem design, including tradeoffs around security, reliability, scalability, maintainability, performance, and change management.

  • Write production-quality code that is correct, secure, maintainable, robust, and well-tested.

  • Drive operational readiness and excellence for owned features and subsystems.

  • Participate in planning and risk identification for systems and services across the director-level organization.

  • Work independently on most projects while seeking guidance for complex, mission-critical, high-scale, or cross-team problems.

  • Support on-call operations, triage issues, and remediate problems without routine assistance.

  • Lead or contribute to root-cause analysis and propose practical solutions.

  • Develop or improve metrics, dashboards, and tools that increase situational awareness.

  • Identify and implement improvements that reduce operational load, reduce manual touchpoints, increase service availability, improve compliance with organizational standards, and reduce technical debt.

  • Improve the team through engineering practices, operational practices, development process, ownership, and mentoring.

Requirements

  • 4-8 years of relevant software engineering experience.

  • BS or MS in Computer Science, or equivalent domain-specific experience.

  • Experience building and operating production software systems.

  • Strong coding, testing, debugging, and design skills.

  • Experience with operational services, incident response, metrics, dashboards, or service health monitoring.
