Our engineers want to gain energy from you and share their energy with you. We want healthy, and challenging discussions. We expect you to guide us with your wealth of knowledge and experience, but want to remind you that we also have a wealth of knowledge and experience and when conflicts of experience arise we expect you will be able to handle it professionally and productively.

– Microservices Architecture
– Testing Best Practices (Unit Tests, Automated test suites)
– Software Design Best Practices (Encapsulation, Decoupling, Happy Path + Design for Failure)

**Responsibilities**

The existing code base will require day-to-day maintenance and feature development. You will be expected to help in this effort and simultaneously provide feedback, and work closely with your mentor.

 This role carries a great deal of responsibility and demand. With this in mind, you should know that the management philosophy of the engineering group you will be working with is the following:

– No Herculean efforts

 — We have an agreement with our stakeholders that requests will carry with them no expectation of efforts beyond a normal workload.

– No excessive toil

 — This agreement further addresses tasks that require large amounts of time that would be considered minimally productive. e.g. Manually reading through thousands of lines of code looking for something not well defined. i.e. Looking for something that would not be searchable using grep or similar (because you may not know what you are looking for).

 – All requests will be well defined and include a measurable metric for success.

– Features and services will have properly defined SLOs.

– Will adhere to an error budget to ensure we maintain technical debt along the way.

– We are proponents of Forward Motion and do not like Stop Energy. When someone finds the passion to push for positive change, we will support those efforts with optimistic conversations, not flood it with fearful anecdotes – Stops should only incur due to facts.
