Client is looking for equivalent of a Level IV software engineer with a strong foundation in full-stack development and Kubernetes expertise to join the Web Portals team.
An ideal candidate is fluent in Java, has practical knowledge of databases and modern frontend technologies, preferably React, and has experience developing, deploying, and supporting production-grade software. The candidate should also have strong hands-on experience with Kubernetes and containerized applications, including deploying, maintaining, and troubleshooting applications in Kubernetes environments. Experience with Amazon EKS or other managed Kubernetes platforms is highly desirable.
We seek a candidate with a strong understanding of software engineering fundamentals, including core Computer Science concepts, software architecture, and hands-on problem-solving experience building and operating complex software systems. The candidate should understand cloud-native application architecture and have experience designing applications and deployment patterns that remain portable across Kubernetes and hybrid cloud environments.
Obtaining these competencies often requires the equivalent of a bachelor's degree and 8+ years of hands-on work experience.
The candidate will be involved in all aspects of product development including ideation, design, implementation, deployment, and issue resolution.
Product
Web Portals team operates a set of customer and internal-facing web applications for our customers to manage their products and accounts with Verisign.
All these applications are hosted on a shared environment in Openstack-based cloud infrastructure and will soon be migrating to Kubernetes based infrastructure. All the applications use ReactJS for the user interface and Spring-Boot for the business logic layer.
PostgreSQL is used for data persistence layer.
This team also manages a collection of React components implementing a style-guide for internal and external Verisign websites and web applications.
These shared components utilize Material-UI design principles and are used across all the web applications the team maintains.
Team
The team possesses extensive technical ownership over the product. The work style of the team is closer to an internal startup where all the team members are involved in the majority of product development phases and are flexible moving between focus areas.
The team follows Agile Development methodology relying on daily scrums with tickets prioritized in Jira. Our code is located on internal GitHub; we utilize pull request code reviews.
For continuous delivery, we use Jenkins with pipelines, and our product deployments are automated with Ansible and Terraform.
The product can be rolled out from zero to the operating state in a single button click. We do builds for each codebase change as well as nightly builds.
We have automated testing with substantial coverage.
It is clearly beneficial if the candidate has experience working with some of the mentioned tools.
