• Analyze user requirements to derive software design and performance requirements.
• Debug existing software and correct defects.
• Design and code new software or modify existing software to add new features.
• Write or review software and system documentation.
• Integrate existing software into new or modified systems or operating environments.
• Develop simple data queries for existing or proposed databases or data repositories.
• Develop software using languages such as C, C++, Python, Ruby, Perl, JavaScript, etc.
• Have experience with agile development processes.
• Have experience with source code control systems, such as Git.
• Serve as team lead at the level appropriate to the software development process being used on any particular project.
• Design and develop relational and non‑relational database applications.
• Use orchestration frameworks such as Spring and Kafka.
• Familiarize with queue management systems.
• Develop or implement algorithms to meet or exceed system performance and functional standards.
• Develop and execute test procedures for software components.
• Develop software solutions by analyzing system performance standards and conferring with users or system engineers; analyzing system flow, data usage and work processes; and investigating problem areas.
• Modify existing software to adapt to new hardware or to improve its performance.
• Design, develop, and modify software systems using scientific analysis and mathematical models to predict and measure outcomes and consequences of design decisions.
• Java development using the Eclipse IDE (Integrated Development Environment).
• Develop Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) applications.
• Experience using collaboration and software development tools (e.g., Atlassian).
• Use continuous integration practices.
• Experience with container technologies (e.g., Docker).
• Unix shell scripting.
• Develop event‑driven or data‑driven analytics.
• Develop cloud‑based solutions and technologies.
• Design or implement complex algorithms requiring adherence to strict timing, system resource, or interface constraints. Perform quality control on team products.
• Recommend and implement suggestions for improving documentation and software development process standards.
• Oversee one or more software development teams and ensure the work is completed in accordance with the constraints of the software development process being used on any particular project.
• Confer with system engineers and hardware engineers to derive software requirements and obtain information on project limitations and capabilities, performance requirements, and interfaces.
• Coordinate software installation on a system and monitor performance to ensure operational specifications are met.
• Recommend new technologies and processes for complex software projects.
• Serve as the technical lead of multiple software development teams.
• Select the software development process in coordination with the customer and system engineering.
• Ensure quality control of all developed and modified…
