Key job responsibilities
- You solve difficult problems, applying appropriate technologies and best practices.- You are proficient in a broad range of design approaches and know when it is appropriate to use them (and when it is not). Your solutions are pragmatic.
- You consider the legacy of the code you produce and write code that an SDE unfamiliar with the system can understand.
- You limit the use of short-term workarounds. You do things with the proper level of complexity the first time (or at least minimize incidental complexity).
- You create flexible software without over-engineering. You make appropriate trade-offs, re-use where possible, and are judicious about introducing dependencies.
- You are efficient with resource usage (e.g., system hardware, database, memory/CPU, etc.)
