Responsibilities

Create technical plans that provide for future development and operations of the ExamDeveloper product. Proactively work to anticipate and prepare for upcoming needs.

Lead the solutioning process to define and estimate the work required for upcoming features. Act to advance our business objectives from ambiguous high-level goals into specific achievable plans.

Partner closely with business stakeholders to understand customer needs and incorporate their vision into your technical direction.

Act as a trusted driving force for achieving business goals.

Oversee the operational costs of ExamDeveloper to ensure that our resource usage (ex: Azure cloud costs) are optimal.

Set technical standards for the engineering teams together with the participation and engagement of senior engineers.

Socialize and explain your decisions to other architects, managers, and business analysts in the VUE Technology organization and beyond.

Build consensus for your technical vision, but also be open to competing points of view. Suggest and justify alternatives.

Collaborate effectively across many roles and across organizational boundaries.

Respond to technical needs and concerns from the engineering team and give clear explanations where necessary.

Communicate effectively at various levels of technical sophistication and understanding, from high-level explanations tailored to executives to “lines of code”-level explanations that junior developers can understand.

Participate in development and QA work in a limited way to maintain a connection and a strong understanding of the teams’ processes and challenges.

Coach other team members to help them grow and bring out their best work.

React to urgent Production issues as part of a group of rotating on-call engineers.
