Software Development

About the role

As a Software
Development Engineer III you are in a senior Individual Contributor engineering
role at Tesco. Your proficiency with foundational computer science and software
engineering concepts is taken as a given, and you will have proven significant
technical depth and breadth. At this level you will be playing an active role
in technical leadership, with proven impact across teams and the wider
directorate. You take ownership and accountability of the development of the
products in your domain. You participate in activities that build capability
across the organisation: coaching and mentoring of existing colleagues, and
interviewing/hiring of new colleagues. Once you have reached the SDE3 level,
progression will vary significantly, and is likely to include more lateral
opportunities than vertical promotion. This is also the level of core technical
knowledge you must reach before considering a sideways move to the management
track.

You will be responsible for

My impact reaches beyond my immediate team,
and I provide perspective and context for technology choices across my
directorate. The work that I do has foundational impact across teams in my area
and the directorate that I am a member of. I am a technical leader for my teams
and others will regularly come to me for mentorship and support. I am
comfortable both supporting other engineers in their delivery and taking the
lead on key features as appropriate. I have delivered multiple projects that
move the needle for the business. I have demonstrated technical breadth and
depth; I am an expert in my domain.

At this level I display a high degree of
ownership for the work conducted by the team. I am accountable for the quality
of every result, produced by individuals and teams. I am an advocate of best
practices across my directorate. I build maturity in the way we develop,
deliver and operate services. I ensure that we’re learning from the best in the
industry, designing and implementing appropriate testing and deployment
strategies.

I can anticipate feature evolution of my
product. I utilise this when facilitating design sessions to ensure that the
system architecture evolves to support future requirements. I understand the
wider Tesco architectural strategy and champion its application to the systems
that I work on. At this level my job starts to become just as much about
exercising technical judgment as it does about implementation.

I am comfortable managing competing priorities
and am able to bring order to ambiguous scenarios. I create optimal outcomes
combining short-term and long-term goals, utilising data driven decision making
techniques to take appropriate trade-offs. I can identify risks and proactively
engage with product and programme managers. I am a strong communicator within
my team and to my stakeholders
