Roles & Responsibilities

• Develop software components in Python and Java language for the LCC subsystem, using containerized micro-services, network and data storage (SQL) functions, clustering features, cryptographic libraries, gRPC and REST API interfaces, common data formats (JSON, YAML, XML, Protobuf…).
• Collaborate with senior developers, architects, and the engineering manager to implement components based on architectural requirements: draft designs, propose solutions, review in weekly design syncs, and finalize through code inspections.
• Define unit tests for components, support the team in BDD feature definition, and assist with automation goals.
• Collaborate with QA to develop BDD feature definitions (e.g., Gherkin files), translating acceptance criteria into executable scenarios.
• Apply common practices to ensure code quality and maintainability.
• Ensure thread safety, proper memory management (no leaks or undefined behavior), as well as code security.
• Document your code with inline comments or lightweight documentation for public interfaces.
• Provide clear effort estimates during planning and flag any deviations in daily scrums.
• Update status daily on the team board (e.g., Jira), and in standups, flag any deviation greater than 10% from the original estimate; if you exceed 20%, notify the engineering manager and suggest a corrective action.
• Ensure designs facilitate troubleshooting of field issues.
• Troubleshoot and resolve issues uncovered during feature or design testing.
• When a QA feature or design test uncovers a defect, reproduce the issue locally, perform a brief root-cause analysis (noting steps and findings in the ticket), and categorize its impact.
