Responsibilities

You lead in designing and developing major functional changes to existing software systems, or new ones, involving yourself and other engineers. You make good decisions about when to build new and when to extend existing. You are known for your subject matter expertise

Your work and approach to work are exemplary. You drive best practices and set standards for your team. You can propose and create best practices proactively where none exist.

You write high-quality, maintainable, and robust code. You may have experience in more than one language and understand the fundamentals of software engineering well enough to learn new languages and frameworks when needed.

You understand a broad range of data structures, algorithms design and know-how, when, and when not to use them. You can evaluate run-time performance and understand how to trade off performance using a variety of algorithm and data structure approaches.

You are comfortable advising others through code reviews, design reviews, and feedback on operational excellence. You are also comfortable receiving feedback and using it to grow as an engineer. You recognize that good ideas can come from anywhere, and work to make all your peers feel included and heard. You deliver facts and decisions with empathy and transparency to bring others along.

You are a key influencer in your team’s strategy and contribute significantly to team planning. You show good judgment in making trade-offs between immediate and long-term business needs. You are a collaborative leader who makes other engineers and team members around you more productive by sharing your knowledge and helping to tie-break key technical decisions. You mentor other engineers, and your success is judged as much on your productivity as on the positive impact you have on engineers around you.

You can troubleshoot a production issue by reviewing source code, logs, operational metrics, stack trace, etc., to pinpoint a specific problem and then resolve it. You can identify root causes and learnings to improve development processes and system design.
