What you'll bring:
Deep working knowledge of all aspects of Cloud native distributed system development. Azure/ GCP/ WCNP preferred.
Hands on experience with building micro-services and event driven architecture and distributed systems using appropriate design patterns.
Risk analysis methodologies - Cost Analysis; Business objectives; Classification of requirements; Domain Knowledge; User stories concepts; Functional / Non-Functional Requirements.
Scoping and Estimation - To explore relevant products/solutions from an existing repertoire, which can address business/technical needs. Assess gaps/ updates/ modifications between the customer/business expectations and the existing product/solutions (in case of agile methodology, for the iteration). Classify the requirements into applicable types (For example - Functional/Non-Functional, Derived/Imposed/Emergent etc.). Anticipate the solution risks / issues during requirements gathering phase, inform relevant stakeholders and recommend corrective steps. Contribute to the creation of user stories for component/application/complex (For agile methodology). Conduct scoping of epics/user stories within span, decide on tradeoffs under guidance as needed .
Software architecture; Distributed systems; Scalability; Design patterns; Disaster Recovery; Tech Stacks; Minimum Viable Product- MVP; Non-Functional Requirements; Detailed Design
To assist in creation of simple, modular, extensible, and functional design for the product/solution in adherence to the requirements. Evaluate trade-offs while designing across multiple components in a product based on the business requirements. Convert HLD to create detailed design using mock screens, pseudo codes and detailed functional logic of the modules for specific modules / components of a product. Understand nuances of designing for disaster recovery. Design and create MVP to clarify requirements and design and uncover risks. Independently refine the MVP design for early defects and revised customer requirements.Coding standards and guidelines; Coding languages (E.g. Java, JavaScript, Python etc.), frameworks (E.g. Spring framework etc.), Platforms (E.g. Microsoft Azure etc.); Quality, Safety and Security (PCI etc.) standards; Emerging tools and technologies; Telemetry; CI / CD; Code Management Tools; SDLC; Secure SDL frameworks and tools.
To select appropriate frameworks, platforms and environments for software coding/configuration and scripting. Guide the team on coding patterns, languages, and frameworks in line with evolving trends in the industry (Ex: reactive vs. imperative etc.) and drive scalability and security. Drive Implementation of telemetry features by determining data/metrics requirement within the domain. Support ad-hoc reviews of software code to ensure baseline mitigations for known risks. Create/configure minimalistic code for entire product/system and ensure the product is meeting business requirements, non-functional requirements, low-maintainability, high-availability, and high-scalability needs. Conduct code reviews for code developed by the team. Arrange project requirements in programming sequence by analyzing requirements. Drive creation of scripts for automation of repetitive and routine tasks in CI/CD (Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery), Testing or any other process across the domain. Drive security of the Code Base and ensure that no security violations are introduced.
Test case preparation; Test Objectives; Test Strategy; Test types; Test tools (E.g. - Automation - Selenium, Agile - Jira, Mobile - Eggplant etc.); Test Environment; Root cause analysis; Code Coverage; Test Coverage.
To translate customer requirements into test strategy. Determine the testing tools (E.g. - Automation - Selenium, Agile - Jira, etc.), domains, environments, and test types to be employed to achieve testing objectives. Select, introduce, and implement various tools for testing. Identify scope and method of testing for each requirement. Ensure that the test cases cover all the test scenarios (E.g., for functionality, performance, security, integration, data migration and accessibility) for the product/solution requirements. Drive execution of test cases to test the code and detect errors and defects for the entire product utilizing relevant test automation techniques. Ensure that the test cases cover all the test scenarios (E.g. for functionality, performance, security, integration, data migration and accessibility) for the product/solution requirements. Ensure code coverage for relevant functional area.
Program metrics; Program Reporting, logging tools and processes; Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CICD).
To provide support to relevant stakeholders to drive adherence to performance metrics of the program for different projects. Take appropriate measures when required to bring program health on track in case of adversity. Provide inputs to improve the throughput, efficiency, and effectiveness of programs. Manage CICD through tracking and reviewing deployment schedules and guiding team throughout the process.
Defect life-cycle process, defect tracking tools and methodologies; Defect reporting; Regression testing; Root cause analysis, root cause corrective action.
To conduct root cause analysis (RCA) and root cause corrective action (RCCA) to identify the origin of defects/ performance gaps and prevent them from recurring. Track registered issues for the product/solution and prioritize them for resolution. Measure usability of the product/solution as per customer/business requirement after defect fixing and plugging test gaps. Analyze the issues and plan a series of steps which potentially includes reconfiguration, integration, removal, or addition of application components to enhance the application's functionality, usability and security.
