Senior/Lead Application Developer

Job Description

David Weekley Homes is looking for experienced developers who want to share their knowledge and learn new skills in a fun, intense and challenging environment.  While experience is appreciated, the ability to learn and apply new technologies is equally important if not more so.

If you understand the significance of the number 42; if you’ve ever dreamed of traveling in a blue British police box; if your license plate reads NCC1701; if you cringe (or laugh) when seeing an order number 66; if more of your friends call you by your gamer tag than your given name – there is a good chance you are a good fit for this position.

The Position-- You will be required to:

• Participate in daily Scrums, regular retrospectives and iteration plannings, and other as-needed face-to-face, audio- and/or video-teleconferencing sessions
• Participate in architecture discussions, design decisions and provide input into all aspects of the system
• Write clean code with good nomenclature, sensible tests and comments when necessary
• Write unit tests, integration tests, and acceptance tests
• Implement new features and fix bugs in a predominantly .NET stack using C#, Xamarin/Maui, .NET APIs (both RESTful and GraphQL).
• Evolve databases and manage schema migrations in coordination with new features

The Candidate-- We are looking for:

• A good fit with our team. We need someone the team can trust, rely on, hang out with, bounce ideas off of, and generally interact with in a positive way both personally and professionally.
• You reliably see tasks through to the end, without supervision, and ask for more. You know when to ask for help and you give bad news early.
• Super talented, in a general way. On any given day, you may be adding a new feature, tracking down a bug, tweaking a build script, configuring IIS or mining some data.
• Specifically talented in a programming way. You can instantly visualize solutions to problems big or small.
• An effective communicator. You effectively explain concepts, written and verbally, to other developers and non-technical peers. A whiteboard is the natural extension of your brain.

Qualifications

The Technical-- You need to have or know:

• Senior or Lead level experience utilizing C#,  .NET, and front end technologies
• An ability to solve complex problems, communicate clearly, and share a sense of urgency
• The capacity to thrive in a small, flexible and dynamic environment, contributing to a high-performance, low-stress corporate culture
• Knowledge of applicable design patterns and coding best practices
• git (or other distributed source code management tools) knowledge

It would be nice for you to have or know:

• Agile (Scrum, Kanban) processes
• Domain Driven Design
• VueJS
• DevOps Pipelines and releasing to Apple/Google app stores
• NServiceBus or other Messaging platforms
• Azure
• Experience with Xamarin/Maui targeting both iOS and Android platforms

The Team

We work hard, we have a good time, and we go home. We’re all geeks about something, whether it’s games, comic books, sci-fi, music, crafting or sports.

• We use GitHub, TeamCity, Azure DevOps, Visual Studio and ReSharper. We have MSDN subscriptions. We use a lot of open source.
• We have morning scrums, a refined product backlog, involved and responsive product owners, and an open mind about methodologies.
• No one commits directly to upstream. Everyone’s code is reviewed by someone on the team.
• We follow a distributed systems architecture and are advocates of modern design practices.
