What You’ll Do 

Focus on building high-quality software as part of a collaborative engineering team. You will build on your core strengths as you continue to enhance your skills by contributing to developing secure software systems. You will be aligned to agile project teams working alongside other talented software engineers and architects to lend your creativity to solving software problems using core development tools and techniques. You will experiment with new technologies and develop skills across the stack, all while contributing to the positive flow of your team. You will share your developing expertise with the community at large through various knowledge-sharing forums. Specifically, you will: 

• Write high-quality application code using emerging technologies and frameworks primarily targeting cloud-based ecosystems. 
• Collaborate with other software development capabilities to develop, validate, and operate software at scale.

What You’ll Bring 

A hunger for doing and a thirst for learning: As a Software Engineer, your first responsibility will be contributing functioning, validated code to your team. To be successful, you will need baseline software development knowledge across the application stack. Your ability to organize ideas into code and supporting tests will contribute to your growth. It is expected that you will be challenged to refine some details of your implementation and be praised on some others. Curiosity will drive you to understand why your check-in broke the build while lending a hand in maintaining the pipeline. A desire to learn and grow will keep you updated on the latest technologies and will be fed by other builders. You take pride in your work and appreciate the little details about the software you are crafting to delight our clients.
