• Improving the software development process, methodologies, and tools through applied experience, automation, and simplification – delivering better software, faster, and cheaper!
• Collaborating with team members to ensure that deliverables are technically accurate and useful in a timely manner – we build quality into all stages of the software lifecycle, with a focus on end-user observable (and testable) system behaviors
• Identifying critical activities & tasks on projects, helping with estimation and planning, ensuring timely and accurate communication of status, resolving issues, and contributing beyond assigned tasks – adjusting priorities when appropriate
• Assisting with software deployment activities to internal test environments and our production data center – the team is responsible from Requirements Analysis through to Release!
• Being proactive, self-motivated, attentive to detail, with the ability to work well under pressure
• Being a team player and role model, exhibiting a professional attitude, building work relationships, demonstrating flexibility, and supporting workplace ethics.
