- Technology spans several key functions, including product management, business intelligence, software development and IT operations.Working with us, passionate technologists have a chance to directly change the world.
Software Development Department:
- The software development department handles all aspects of delivery related to our custom software applications and services - everything that it takes to turn an idea into working software and delivering value to our users.
- The department is structured into cross-functional, self-organising teams that work together on projects, short and long, alongside product designers and key business stakeholders.
About the Role
- We are looking for a full time Lead Full-Stack Engineer to head up one of our cross-functional software development teams, which builds the software that powers and improves our competitive advantage.
- In addition to being technically excellent and an individual contributor, a Team Lead is responsible for the end-to-end delivery of their project (looking across all disciplines and technology stacks) and for ensuring that their team is following agreed norms and processes.
- This person should be familiar with design and implementation issues specific to a data driven, highly scalable environments and be able to handle such issues with flexibility and ingenuity.
- The ideal candidate will have a strong customer focus, a proven track record of delivering high-quality products in a continuous delivery environment, and an appreciation for clean and simple code.
Responsibilities
What You Will Do:
- Design, implement, and support new products and features, including overseeing the technical design and architecture of projects
- Grow and lead an software development team of 5-7 engineers
- Collaborate with project sponsors and product designers to elaborate requirements and facilitate trade-offs that maximise value
- Analyse and improve the overall software architecture, with a focus on maintainability and scalability
- Mentor and develop members of the team, from daily interactions to broader professional development goals
Requirements
What You Should Have:
- A BA / BS in Computer Science or a related technical field
- Minimum of 5 years of enterprise software development experience
- Comfort recommending and advocating for enterprise architectural best practices for highly-available, scalable, and reliable implementations; but also the experience to take on technical debt where appropriate
- Enterprise-level experience with continuous delivery practises and tools
- Advocacy of test-driven development (TDD) and/or behaviour driven development (BDD)
- Experience with pair-programming and other XP practises a plus
- Expertise in several of the following areas (and interested in learning about the rest):
- Web services and API design, especially in the Microsoft .NET ecosystem
- Android applications, especially “offline-first”
- JavaScript Web Applications, especially Progressive Web Applications
- Data engineering - data pipelines that cleanse, classify, and aggregate data sets
- Highly scalable architectures (e.g. CQRS, Event Sourcing, queues, circuit breakers, etc.)
- Monitoring in all its forms - error monitoring, synthetic monitoring, performance monitoring, user monitoring, etc.
- Security and identity management - OAuth, penetration testing, software supply chain
- Cloud and Hybrid deployment models
- Databases and ORMs - esp. MS SQL Server/T-SQL (and EF, Dapper, etc.); but also other forms of persistence
- Experience in a lean delivery environment and understand not only the mechanics, but also the underlying motivations
- NewGlobe uses primarily .NET (server-side), Vue.JS (web apps) and Kotlin (Android native), so experience in these toolchains is preferable; however, NewGlobe also values developers with diverse experience, so serious exposure to other languages and ecosystems (e.g. NodeJS, Ruby, functional languages, NoSQL DBs) is a bonus
- Ability to function well in a fast-paced, informal environment where constant change is the norm and the bar for quality is set high
- Interest in open source projects – familiarity with OSS projects is a plus; contributions to open source projects is a big plus
What We Offer
- The opportunity to make a difference for children every day at a proven, internationally recognized, mission-driven company.
- Flexible hybrid working arrangement.
- Take the lead and help us grow our engineering team
- The opportunity to work on challenging and innovative projects.
