Do you want to work on complex and pressing challenges—the kind that bring together curious, ambitious, and determined leaders who strive to become better every day? If this sounds like you, you’ve come to the right place.

Your Impact

You will work with Product Management and Product Design team members to deliver software products with high levels of value, usability, quality and predictability for our clients.

You will develop a strong understanding of the user’s story and how to best deliver the appropriate functionality.

You will produce high quality code for the full technological stack, from database to UI and everything in between. Additionally, you will assist with troubleshooting basic issues and improving application performance by responding to specific problems and fixing defects. You'll document and demonstrate solutions with a focus on security and performance by developing flowcharts, layouts, diagrams, charts, code comments and clear code. Furthermore, you'll actively participate in SCRUM and Agile software processes.

You'll leverage your technical skills by applying them towards the validation of product quality and writing test code, including unit tests and automated test cases. You will keep up with industry trends and innovations and apply knowledge to the existing codebase.

You will be expected to identify and escalate technical barriers, dependencies or risks in the planning and development process, and maintain a distinct value and quality mindset. You will manage your day-to-day priorities, time and commitments within your team setting while ensuring that technical standards and best practices are exercised.

There is flexibility to hire at the Engineer I/II or Senior Software Engineer level, depending on your experience.
