Responsibilities

Design and implement concise, modular, cohesive, frontend and backend services in a distributed system context that are resilient, efficient, and reliable.

Ensure automated tests are highly effective in terms of software quality, refactor flexibility, and integration/delivery speed.

Concurrent and asynchronous software design/development.

Advanced asynchronous and resilient network communications design and implementation.

Software development on complex, but potentially irreducible algorithms or combinatorials.

Find ways to reduce/decompose complex software components along appropriate boundaries.

When apparently irreducible functionality is encountered and resists beneficial decomposition, find ways to simplify through quantization.

Extensive usage of all aspects of observability systems from experienced instrumentation of code to well-designed queries, dashboards, and alerts.

Data driven optimization of latency, compute, memory, storage, and network traffic.

Maintain awareness of production system performance, errors, and code usage.

Communicate with clarity with diagrams, documentation, and presentations to other developers, dev teams, SREs, and management.

Optimize build, deployment, and IaC provisioning pipelines.

Rigorous analysis of escaped defects to determine corrective actions with depth of insight.

Communicate clearly via software architecture, embedded docs, or o11y.

Design and develop defensively to maintain or increase security going beyond OWASP and zero trust patterns by truly understanding the area of the system being worked on.

Rigorous and proficient review and clear feedback on pull requests by team members.

Keep up with relevant technologies, techniques, tools, and patterns.

Ensure the software is as simple as possible, but not simpler.

Build software with people. Product managers, other developers, SREs, junior engineers, senior engineers, and offshore. Construct software that matters!

Constantly address technical debt. Shine a light on it, even when it hurts.

Participate in the planning of technical engineering and product roadmaps.

Plan, lead, or manage projects when called upon to do so while remaining hands on.
