Software Development Engineer III

Software Development Engineers (SDEs) are the creative minds developing the software applications that make life easier for customers. Responsible for the entire development and support process for a software programme. Your applications make previously complex tasks simple with the impact ranging from saving time; effort or money to re-defining normal
Take a business problem and come up with the technical strategy (push vs pull etc; real time vs batches; sync vs async) within the team; high level design and lead the implementation
Need minimal directions or guidance and collaborate with SDEs across teams working on the same or similar business problem
You showcase exemplary behaviour in your work your design; delivery; code; processes all set examples for your team
Influence your team s technical and business strategy by suggesting novel approaches
Able to communicate your ideas and get feedback from different stakeholders and drive convergence to achieve the right outcomes
Proactively mentor the rest of the team and help in hiring
Ensure design or architectural deficiencies are addressed and routinely simplify integration of your peer teams with your team s software
Consistently lead delivery of valuable features
Continually propose and drive process improvements
Help elaborate requirements where necessary
