Lead Software Engineer

Lead Software Engineer

Requirements

• Has the ability to write secure code in three or more languages (e.g., Java, Python, PHP) and familiar with secure coding standards (e.g., OWASP, CWE, SEI CERT, Blackduck) and vulnerabilities
• Has skills in building applications using open frameworks to achieve reuse and reduce development times (e.g., Spring Boot, Angular, DXP, others)
• Has skills to document and coach team on the development practices and coding guidelines (e.g., branching, peer reviews, library use, logging, scanning rules, test-driven development, error handling)
• Experience with cloud technologies, especially AWS Redshift, AWS Glue Jobs and Crawler, Lake Formation Policies, Step Functions, S3, SQS, SNS, and Sparks technology
• Experience with code as infrastructure such as CDK or Terraform
• Experience with distributed computation engine such as Spark or Flink
• Experience with monitoring tools, such as DataDog, Splunk, AWS Cloud watch/Cloud trails
• Able to perform debugging and troubleshooting to analyze core, heap, thread dumps and remove coding errors
• Experienced with working with large data sets. You’ve implemented parallel processing and have dealt with the limitations and challenges of working with terabytes of data.
• Understands use cases for advanced design patterns (e.g., service-to-worker, MVC, API gateway, intercepting filter, dependency injection, lazy loading, all from the gang of four) to implement efficient code
• Has skills to undertake a technical review of code across applications and their dependencies to look for anti-patterns and promote continuous refactoring
• Understands and elaborates technical debt and operational issues to drive prioritization discussions with stakeholders to improve the run experience
• Understands system architecture to plan for platform and infrastructure capacity (e.g., database, compute, network, storage) and drives the dependency prioritization to reduce the delivery lead time
• Has skills to understand customer journeys and ensure a Mastercard good experience by continuously reducing Mean time to mitigate (MTTM) for incidents and ensuring high availability (99.95% as a starting point)
• Has skills to simplify deployment and eliminate software and infrastructure snowflakes using standardized platforms, ephemeral instances, and automation
• Has skills to orchestrate release workflows and pipelines and apply standardized pipelines via APIs to achieve CI and CD using industry-standard tools (e.g., Jenkins, Bamboo, AWS pipelines, others)
• Able to configure rules and build automation for code with vulnerability scanning and software composition analysis using standard tools (e.g., Sonar, JFrog XRay, Veracode, others)
• Has skills to define, organize, and report on test runs for major, minor, and hotfix releases (including unit, component level, system level, customer journeys, past customer issues, and regulatory controls)
• Has skills to conduct various performance tests (e.g., load, volume, spike, breakpoint, endurance) to Understands application/service limits and behaviors

Responsibilities

• Own complex problems having dependency across services and facilitate cross-functional team interactions to drive resolution
• Write code to build and enhance applications/services and promote code-reviews, code scanning, and other standard development practices to deliver high-quality artifacts to production.
• Define, architect, design, and develop procedures and solutions at a service level to meet the business requirements/enhancements
• Drive prioritization decisions and trade-offs in working with product partners
• Identify opportunities and build roadmaps to enhance primary service/function
• Automate and simplify all aspects of software delivery and development actively evangelizing the need to automate and simplify where needed.
• Drive seamless integration across all connected services to meet end-user expectations
• Drive blameless postmortems culture to identify root causes of incidents and implement learnings
• Introduce new technologies and architecture by following enterprise guidelines
• Advocate for engineering principles outside of current organization/platform
• Provide development and architecture guidance to team members
• Build relationships and effective partnerships across organizations
• Write and evaluate recommendations for job promotions based on an unbiased view of one’s accomplishments
• Conduct technical interviews for hiring engineering staff and raising the performance bar
• Lead by example with hands-on approaches to demonstrate engineering excellence
• Encourage staff to share and seek knowledge within their Guild/Program to drive reuse of patterns/libraries/practices and enhance productivity
