● Participates in the development and documentation of department standards and best practices, and mentors’ junior engineers.
● Provides the team with solution recommendations and estimates for a given product/application.
● Identifies deficiencies within a product/application’s code base and identifies opportunities to improve overall code quality.
● Collaborates with team members (e.g., Systems Architects, Systems Analysts) to define project specifications and release documentation for all phases of the product development cycle from product definition to design, through implementation.
● Conducts peer code reviews for the software changes made by other engineers within a team.
● Collaborates with Environment Analysts to define and refine the environment strategy needed to support day-to-day development activities.
● Defines product/application specific coding standards and patterns to guide the implementation of new features and capabilities.
● Supports the planning and execution of functional and non-functional (e.g., performance, fail-over, etc.) testing activities.
● Provides technical expertise in establishing specific coding standards, patterns, and procedures.
● Supervises systems and data analysis performed by Full Stack Engineers on products/applications to understand functional design requirements.
● Defines remediation tactics for large and complex defects impacting several features and/or capabilities within a given product/application.
● Supervises the development and preparation of technical documentation (e.g., runbooks, etc.).
● Drives operational efficiency and technical growth by mentoring PODs through documentation, workshops, and other methods in the areas of software applications design, development, automation, CI/CD pipeline, and architecture.
● Provides active support for business-critical outage situations.
