Software Engineer

Contributes in partnership with appropriate internal stakeholders to understand customer/user requirements for a feature. Supports the identification of dependencies, and their incorporation into the development of design documents for a product feature with oversight. Develops knowledge of and learns to apply best practices to build code based on well-established methods and secure design principles. Works with partner teams to ensure a product feature works well with the components of the partner team with direct supervision before going live. - Coding: Learns to review code and helps to review code of others to ensure it meets team standards. Participates in code review processes for self-development, gathers feedback, and learns about coding standards and the team's features. Applies coding patterns and best practices. Learns how and begins to use automated source code analysis tools that are incorporated into the build/development process with minimal supervision. Develops and applies knowledge of debugging tools, tests, logs, telemetry, and other methods to begin supporting efforts to proactively flag issues before they occur for product features in production. Learns to conduct incident retrospectives to identify root causes of problems, and begins to implement repair actions with direct supervision. Grows understanding of and begins to apply least-access principles and uses logging, telemetry, and other appropriate mechanisms with direct supervision to investigate issues while retaining privacy and security. - Design: Understands proposals and develops an understanding of how to apply them under the technical leadership of others. With managerial guidance, tests and explores various design options for a product/solution feature, outlining strengths and weaknesses of each option. Produces code to test hypotheses for technical solutions and assists with technical validation efforts. Helps with and participates in the development of design documents that support simple user stories with oversight. Develops an awareness of the current technology landscape. Escalates findings from investigations to team members for design decisions. Learns about the implications of performance, scalability, resiliency, cost of goods sold (COGS), and other requirements and expectations in systems architecture. Develops an understanding of the importance of building solutions that expand upon the work of others. Contributes to the refinement and integration of feedback in product features by escalating findings from analyses to inform decisions regarding the engineering of products. - Engineering Excellence: Learns about and helps to ensure the correct processes are followed to achieve a high degree of security, privacy, safety, and accessibility. Contributes to efforts to check for visible evidence (e.g., audit trail) to demonstrate compliance for product features. Develops an understanding of global and local regulations for technologies and system applications. Develops an understanding of and applies security best practices and establishes code invariants to model ""security as code,"" ensuring each layer is independently secure, and minimizing risk with direct supervision. Begins to adopt security standards for clear security code review practices for a product feature that align with design and engineering principles to raise the security hardening for both protections and detections. Supports efforts to incorporate deployment gates on security controls, and scanners for a product feature to prevent regressions and/or vulnerabilities that would have customer impact. - Implement: Reviews work items to increase knowledge of product features in partnership with appropriate stakeholders (e.g., technical program managers) with guidance from more experienced peers. Supports team efforts on breaking down work items into tasks and providing estimation. Escalates issues that might cause a delay. Assists with ensuring required security protections and detection processes are accounted for in planning. Supports team efforts for ensuring project plans adhere to security, privacy, and compliance requirements with direct supervision.
