• Help your team evolve by actively participating in the code review process, design discussions, team planning, and support ticket reviews.
• Clearly document your software to ensure that future generations of developers understand the intention behind the features and components you build.
• Troubleshoot and identify swift resolutions in the event of a problem.
• Provide excellent customer support.
• Estimate stories/tasks and deliver them on time.
• Be humble, pragmatic, self-managed, thirsty for knowledge, never satisfied and always challenging the norm.
• Participate in the on-call support rotation for your organization.

What We’re Looking For:

• Degree in Computer Science or related software engineering field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 2+ years of relevant work experience.
• Strong backend experience with Java.
