About the role

Mid-level software engineers have moved beyond the early stages of learning the ropes of modern software development in agile, iterative, and continuously improving teams. They are journeymen level with a focus on refining mastery of their craft, developing areas of core expertise, and widening their technological repertoire through continuous learning—both taking and implementing feedback from peers, as well as providing it.

• Develop and own technical design documents for work items to understand potential pitfalls and define the architecture and design patterns necessary for execution.
• Understand and apply team coding standards, design patterns, and SDLC practices.
• Identify pain points in technology, tooling, and process, offering actionable constructive feedback or implementing improvements as feasible.
• Participate in mentoring more junior peers and sharing technical knowledge through code reviews and collaboration.

• Write automated tests (unit, integration, end-to-end when needed) as a standard practice.
• Contribute continuously to documentation and internal knowledge sharing.
• Show evidence of self-improvement and focus on growing core technical skills through research and sharing new knowledge with the team.
• Demonstrate responsiveness in team meetings and engagement in communication channels, proactively communicating blockers or new information without needing prompts.
• Operate with autonomy and responsibility in a fully remote environment, establishing and leveraging relationships with peers, stakeholders, and leaders to complete work with minimal oversight.
• Learn from incidents and feedback quickly, applying fixes rapidly (hours, not days).

Qualifications
