As an intermediate developer, your work will be assigned from there. You will take requirements into consideration and understand the reasoning behind a particular requirement and challenge the approach if you feel there are better alternatives. You will also coordinate with our front- end team to ensure that what you?re building fits into the overall development landscape. * *Work on testing and automation for what you?ve created; *we don?t have a separate testing team in our engineering department, which means each developer on the team is responsible for writing and automating tests for what they?ve created. In addition to writing/automating these tests, you will also work with more senior developers to get feedback on your work. You will focus on the highest-quality implementations, recognizing the importance of our product in people?s financial lives. * *Embrace a DevOps philosophy:* Our infrastructure lives in the cloud, and is all managed using infrastructure-as-code tools. Engineers are responsible for understanding how their work runs in production, and are expected to think about cost, scalability, monitoring, and security when introducing new pieces of infrastructure. We are always exploring ways to improve how we deliver our product. *Who you are:* * *Curious, self-directed learner who thrives on ambiguity; *from a technical perspective you can be rather junior in your skillset but your mindset needs to resemble a senior developer. What this means to us is that you?re excited by the challenge of getting a story from a product designer and you?re able to jump in and start implementing it and identify any questions you might have. You don?t need precise work requirements but can figure things out, and make the right judgement calls. You know when to ask for help and don?t mind doing so. Your initiative and eagerness to learn makes you a valuable team member. * *Open-minded and willing to seek out feedback;* you enjoy being part of a highly collaborative team that provides a lot of internal feedback. You never feel defensive when other people look at your work and provide opinions or ask questions. You?re open to different ways of doing things and willing to let go of a path you were on if the team feels there?s a better way. * *Collaborative team member;* you understand that great products are built through working with many different stakeholders. You are able to build strong relationships with other mission driven team members, including those outside of the engineering group. You enjoy working with our product team and hearing from our customers about how your work impacts them and our product. * *Experience working as a Java developer;* you have worked on products that are out in the market and can point to what you?ve built in your coding life. Our tech stack involves Java, Spring, Hi- LocationToronto, ON
