Developer, Software Engineer, Software Development

Developer I

The Developer I works with other developers, designers, and producers to translate project requirements into technical tasks and author functional code to complete the project. Additionally, they are expected to take initiative in testing the applications they author, identifying bugs, and deploying fixes. It is expected that more senior developers would review a Developer 1’s code for testing and evaluation. These requirements mean that a Developer 1 must have a team-oriented attitude.

A successful Developer 1 will be enthusiastic about exploring and learning new technologies and will be capable of understanding the existing preferences of Ideum (e.g., Unity) as well as extending their knowledge into new frameworks, libraries, and hardware stacks.

• Test code on target hardware or equivalent
• Participate in internal and client-facing meetings
• Keep lines of communication open and actively participate in project updates
• Manage time to execute work on schedule while also keeping the team up to date with any issues that arise that could impact the timely delivery or quality of software products
• Iterate work to reach the quality senior developers directly as appropriate for Alpha and Beta client reviews
• Seek out feedback on work products
• After the first year of employment, develop skills to the Developer II level competencies

• Demonstrated coding skills (proficiency in Unity and/or C#/.net is a plus)
• Ability to translate project requirements into technical tasks with guidance from other developers
• Authors functional code
• Accepts and implements reviews and suggestions
• Enthusiastic about working in an in‑person, team environment
• Recognizes and works to fix technical issues
