Senior Back End (Java) Developer Offline

Responsibilities

Our product development teams are growing because we have a huge number of ideas on how to improve the experience of our customers. As a Senior Engineer, you will need to play a key role in turning those ideas into reality. You’ll need to:

Track the progress that you are making towards the wider goals of your team, and transparently communicate that progress to your team and Technology Manager

Keep to the processes, standards, and designs that your team has agreed upon

Ensure you and others continuously improve by proposing and then implementing new processes, designs and engineering practices that make your team more effective

Contribute to the definition of product features, including workshops with other product development teams

Communicate the technical work of your team to other product development teams

Take responsibility for supporting your changes all the way through to prove that they work well – and continue to work well – in production

If you are a Senior Developer, we also expect that you:

Will become a trusted technical authority and specialist in one or more technical areas of your team. You’ll be someone the rest of the team and your Technology Manager can turn to for engineering advice and guidance

Collaborate with other product development teams and use their feedback as a basis for improvements

Write a technically sound, clean, maintainable code – with the practical application of established patterns and practices
