Must understand the architecture and application thoroughly enough to evaluate the broader impact of changes.
Looking for engineers who think beyond simply completing code and consider dependencies, downstream impacts, security, testing, and overall system quality.

Demonstrates end-to-end ownership and transparency around progress, risks, issues, and decisions.
Thinks ahead and asks: What could this change impact? What might we be missing? Is everything covered?
Able to balance delivery speed with quality, security, testing, and system stability.
Strong understanding of the entire system rather than focusing narrowly on assigned code.
Team & Delivery Environment
Team supports eight projects across two groups.
Works in a Scrum/Agile environment with three-week sprints.
Engineers are expected to participate across development, testing, DevOps, security remediation, and application support.
Close collaboration with internal stakeholders and the SEC.
