As a Software Engineer, you have influence well beyond yourself. You often own all aspects of your immediate area of software engineering work. You are distinguished by your ability to self-direct your technical contributions as well as plan and scope for a project. You act as a point of contact for your cross-functional partners. Faced with a problem, you will scope it, research possible solutions and technologies, and recommend a solution that includes both the short-term and long-term needs.Responsibilities include:
- Write product or system development code without supervision, conduct testing beyond unit testing (e.g. integration, performance, stress, security, load, fuzz), design code to allow for easy testing and write test case descriptions. Review other engineers'' code and provide feedback to ensure best practices (e.g., style guidelines, checking code in, accuracy, testability, and efficiency). Identify critical components and tech debt with high carrying costs. Implement or guide remedies to improve long-term maintainability, modifiability, etc. Managers also oversee their team''s coding, testing, and reviewing.
- Take ownership of rolling out a project to completion, contributing to qualification, end-user documentation, production deployment/monitoring, process automation, and customer support as needed. Set up or improve test/monitoring/survey infrastructure, systems or practices. Consider engineering excellence (e.g., code health, low toil, system maintainability and scalability over time). Contribute to existing documentation or educational content and adapt content based on product/program updates and user feedback. Triage product or system issues and debug/track/resolve by analyzing the sources of issues and the impact on hardware, network, or service operations and quality. Managers ensure their teams follow the above to drive product excellence.
- Design systems within the scope of their area. Clarify problems to understand gaps, break down problems into solvable parts and assess trade-offs to ensure coherent design, participate in or drive design reviews with peers and stakeholders to decide amongst available technologies. Managers also oversee and guide their teams in systems design. For those with employee reports, the amount of direct, technical contributions will be balanced against the amount of management responsibility required in the role.
- Set and achieve business goals Deliver business impact for us by setting, communicating, and achieving team priorities that support organizational goals. Align with partners and make key decisions as needed to achieve team objectives. Prioritize work and manage resources Ensure appropriate metrics, roles, and people are in place to meet organizational goals.
