Coach, mentor, and - at times - lead other developers to increase their understanding, impact, and capability, including pair programming and code review.
Continuously learn and apply new technologies and industry trends to improve the development process and keep the team on the cutting edge of full-stack development.
Participate in all phases of the software development cycle, including analysis, design, development, debugging, testing, and deployment.
PREFERRED REQUIREMENTS
Experience as a professional programmer, and proficiency in a modern software programming language and development practices.
Experience mentoring and training other developers on different teams on best practices.
Strong problem-solving capabilities.
Strong communication skills.
Proven experience in self initiated learning, picking up new concepts and learning from and sharing knowledge with others.
Enjoys analysing complex problems to find simple solutions.
Excited to work closely with product, design, and users with empathy and kindness.
