• Build quality into the solution: Write high-quality, maintainable code backed by automated test suites using Cucumber, JUnit, and Mockito, and build solutions across Oracle, PostgreSQL, and MongoDB to support data consistency and scalability.
• Engineer for production reliability: Build observability into applications using Elasticsearch, Prometheus, and Grafana; monitor and optimize production systems; troubleshoot incidents; perform root-cause analysis; capture key learnings; and improve performance, stability, and resiliency.
• Improve engineering efficiency: Automate and simplify development, testing, deployment, and operational processes to improve how the team delivers work.
• Shape complex technical solutions: Partner with product, architecture, and engineering teams and help guide development teams in designing solutions aligned with architecture blueprints, standards, and strategies.
• Mentor and share knowledge: Mentor engineers and contribute through code reviews, technical design discussions, demos, onboarding materials, share-out sessions, technical documentation, engineering standards, and software development best practices.
• Evaluate modern tools and technologies: Assess software, tools, and technologies and provide objective recommendations based on technical and business needs.

What You Bring:

• Education: Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Information Systems (CIS), or a related field, or equivalent years of experience in lieu of the education requirement, if applicable.

• Advanced education: Master's degree in Computer Science, CIS, or a related field.
• Development toolchain: Experience with Oracle, PostgreSQL, and MongoDB; automated testing with Cucumber, JUnit, and Mockito; Git-based source control such as Bitbucket; and build/dependency-management tools such as Maven or Gradle.
• Enterprise engineering and systems analysis: 4+ years of experience working with an IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL) framework, defect or incident tracking software, web services, and application and integration middleware, as well as 4+ years defining technical requirements and performing high-level design for complex solutions.
• Technical documentation and business systems: 4+ years of experience writing technical documentation in a software environment, developing and implementing business systems within an organization, and working with source-code control systems.
