What You’ll Be Doing
The following should give you an idea of how you’ll be expected to typically be spending your time. It’s not set in stone and it may change from week-to-week, but it gives an idea of what is expected from the role.
Software Development (80%)
The majority of your time will be spent working with your team to deliver software that meets the needs of our customers. This isn’t time that you’ll spend entirely in your editor; there’s stand up, sprint planning, scoping, architecting and designing that you’ll take part in to make sure we’re building exactly what we need in the right way.
Given your experience, a portion of this time is expected to be spent assisting other team members in delivering their work effectively.
Process and Tooling Improvements (10%)
Making sure that we don’t sit still and keep evolving the way we build and deliver software is a critical investment of time, particularly from a team member with your experience. Use this time to try that tool you read about and see if it’s worthy of being a part of our toolchain.
Personal Development (10%)
Keeping up with new software releases, development practices, horror stories and post mortems are an essential part of any software developer’s time! Use this time to push forward your objectives and research tools and techniques you need to stay productive.
