Intermediate Backend Software Development Engineer

The Team/Role Are you a technical artisan who thrives in collaborative environments and gets excited about solving the right problems, the right way? Do you believe in breaking down silos and fostering a culture of shared responsibility? Then this role is for you! In today's software development landscape, collaboration, E2E accountability, problem solving and streamlined workflows are key to achieving efficiency and delivering high-quality solutions that solve customer problems and generate business outcomes.

We believe in the power of integrated engineering, where development, quality, and agility skills blend together throughout the solution delivery pipeline.

In this role, you'll be a champion for this approach, fostering a culture of shared ownership and breaking down silos to ensure a smooth and efficient flow of innovation to customers.

How You’ll Make An Impact • Collaborate with stakeholders throughout the SDLC to translate requirements into high-quality, reliable, cost-effective, and maintainable solutions that solve customer problems and generate business outcomes.

Core Skills • Programming/Software Development [SFIA 8 Code: PROG]: This skill remains the foundation.

Proficiency in programming languages and development methodologies is essential for designing, developing, and implementing software components in an integrated engineering environment.

A strong focus on continuous delivery practices is crucial. • Testing [SFIA 8 Code: TEST]: Quality assurance is paramount.

The ability to design, execute, and analyze various types of tests to ensure deployments meet established acceptance criteria remains essential. • Requirements Management [SFIA 8 Code: REQM]: Understanding requirements throughout the software delivery lifecycle is critical.

This ensures alignment with business needs, avoids rework, and fosters collaboration with stakeholders. • Software Design [SFIA 8 Code: SWDN]: While automation might play a larger role in integrated engineering, a combined understanding of software development practices and design principles is still valuable.

This ensures creating maintainable, scalable, and secure applications. • Measurement [SFIA 8 Code: MEAS]: Data-driven decision making is crucial.

The ability to define and establish measurement frameworks, along with KPIs related to software delivery and performance, helps identify areas for improvement.

Additional Valuable Skills • Configuration Management [SFIA 8 Code: CFMG]: Managing configurations with IaC tools is essential for consistent and repeatable deployments.

However, the specific emphasis on configuration management might be slightly lower since integrated engineering often emphasizes infrastructure automation. • Application Support [SFIA 8 Code: ASUP]: While IT Service Support (SERV) covers some aspects of application support, this skill can be relevant if the role has a stronger focus on troubleshooting and supporting specific applications.

However, in an integrated engineering environment, automation tools and streamlined processes might reduce the manual effort involved compared to traditional release cycles. • Methods and Tools [SFIA 8 Code: METL]: The right tools automate tasks, improve decision-making, and ensure consistent practices.

This is crucial for efficiency, data-driven development, and staying current in a rapidly evolving field.

Experience You'll Bring • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
