has skills in test driven and behavior driven development (TDD and BDD) to build just enough code and collaborate on the desired functionality; has skills to author test code with lots of smaller tests followed by few contract tests at service level and fewer journey tests at the integration level (Test Pyramid conceptsPatterns and Frameworks: Understands theuse of basic design patterns (e.g.factory, adaptor, singleton, composite, observer, strategy, inversion of control); has skills inbuilding applications using open frameworks to achieve reuse and reduce development times (e.g.Spring Boot, Steeltoe, Angular, DXP, others)Patterns and Frameworks: Understand use cases for advanced design patterns (e.g. service-to-worker, MVC, API gateway, intercepting filter, dependency injection, lazy loading, all from gang of four) to implement efficient code; understands and implements Application Programming Interface (API) standards and cataloging to drive API/service adoption and commercializationPatterns and Frameworks: Understand use cases for advanced design patterns (e.g.service-to-worker, MVC, API gateway, intercepting filter, dependency injection, lazy loading, all from gang of four) to implement efficient code; understands and implements Application Programming Interface (API) standards and cataloging to drive API/service adoption and commercializationPlanning: Has skills to collaborate with team and business stakeholders to estimate requirements (e.g. story pointing) and prioritize based on business value; understands work classification to determine software capitalization opportunities; has skills to elaborate and estimate non-functional requirements, including security (e.g. data protection, authentication, authorization), regulatory, and performance (SLAs, throughput, transactions per second)Practices and Metrics: Has skills to understand, report, and optimize delivery metrics to continuously improve upon them (e.g. velocity, throughput, lead time, defect leakage, burndown); has skills to document and drive definition-of-done for requirements to meet both business and operational needs; understands cost of defects and implements a well-defined defect life cycle to minimize defect leakage and improve customer and operational experience; has skills to conduct product demos and co-ordinate with product owners to drive product acceptance sign-offsEngineering Principles: Understand the basic tenets of buildingand runningmission critical software capabilities (security, customer experience, testing, operability, simplification, service-oriented architecture)Engineering Principles: Has skills to implement and govern data protection at rest and transit to meet regulatory needs (e.g. PCI DSS, GDPR); has skills to understand customer journeys and ensure customer good experience by continuously reducing Mean time to mitigate (MTTM) for incidents and ensuring high availability (99.95% as a starting point); has skills to simplify deployment and eliminate software and infrastructure snowflakes using standardized platforms, ephemeral instances, and automationPatterns and Protocols: Understands encryption and digital signature standards and patterns (e.g. symmetric/secret-key - AES, public key, and hashing - SHA-2 and SHA-3) and recommend software or hardware (HSM) implementation solutions; has skills to implement authentication and authorization patterns depending on use cases (e.g. RBAC, multi-factor, SSO, biometric)Automation: Has skills to orchestrate release workflows and pipelines, and apply standardized pipelines via APIs to achieve CI and CD using industry standard tools (e.g. Jenkins, Bamboo, AWS/Azure pipelines, XL Release, others); able to configure rules and build automation for code with vulnerability scanning and software composition analysis using standard tools (e.g. Sonar, Checkmarx, Nexus, JFrog XRay, Veracode, others); manage builds and artifacts leveraging standard tools (e.g. Artifactory) to ensure error-free deployment of production code using canary and blue-green techniquesPerformance and Observability: Has skills to implement standard logging and event correlation for business transactions and security events for faster troubleshooting and compliance; familiar with adoption of standard logging frameworks and tools (e.g. log4j, SLF4J, Splunk) to aggregate and analyze time-series of logs; has skills to build monitoring and ing focusing on key signals (resource usage, threshold breaches, rate of change) by using industry standard tools (e.g. Dynatrace, Netcool/OMNIbus, OpenTracing)Test Strategy: Follows customer testing standards via the Test Strategy; has skills to author test cases leveraging behavior driven development and customer journey concepts; understand organization of testing artifacts (e.g. test folders, sets, runs) in ALM tools and link them to automated testing code to report status of test runsTesting Types: Understand functional and non-functional testing types and elaborate and estimate test efforts; understand how to build and automate robust tests to minimize defect leakage by performing regression, performance, deployment verification, and release testingPlatform as a Service (PAAS) /Function as a Service (FAAS): Understands general concepts around PAAS and FAAS, and building applications that can be hosted on any standardized on-prem/public or private cloud environmentsContainerization: Shows basic knowledge of containers, how they work, and their interaction with applications and other systems on the platform Other Details Salary range $63000 to $134500
