Software Developer

Job Description Modern Architecture Skill where you know web nodes should be stateless, put multiple web nodes behind a load balancer, use read replicas on an RDBMS, use memcached for object caching, use S3 for blob storage, and multi-region synchronous replication is a very hard problem. For bonus points things like cluster scheduling to map processes onto multiple machines. Programming At low levels of experience, this is the skill for actual ability to implement, as one might measure in a coding sample. At higher levels of experience it is the ability to organize and structure large amounts of code, create meaningful abstractions, manage large amounts of business logic, and design the accompanying data structures. Code Reading and Debugging This is the ability to be given a code base with limited documentation and figure out where various things are implemented and assist in debugging it. This includes level familiarity with multiple programming languages and paradigms. Systems and Networking Knowledge about computer systems such as typical hardware components, operating system internals, systems administration, configuration, and the use of common tools to explore and configure production systems. Includes networking and an understanding of how systems communicate over IP, TCP, and the function of firewalls and load balancers. Also includes cloud concepts like containers, Docker, VPC, etc. Troubleshooting Ability to effectively troubleshoot problems using a scientific thinking and methodical approach to identifying problems by developing hypotheses, testing those hypotheses, and narrowing down the root cause. Includes understanding of monitoring and logging systems and troubleshooting commands such as tcpdump, strace, netstat, etc. Incident and Change Management Ability to effectively manage incidents and risk, understand roles during an incident, lead large‑scale incident resolution by coordinating investigation teams, and communicate with non‑technical stakeholders. Includes writing good post‑mortems and understanding how change management systems can mitigate risk while supporting agile development. Engineering Practices Experience with shepherding code from development up to production at least monthly in a team setting. Includes knowledge of code reviews, automated testing (unit and end‑to‑end), single‑command demo setup, continuous builds, and release‑branch management. Also may include basic risk mitigation strategies such as canary releases and staged activation. Development Tools Knowledge of the tools necessary to support development, such as IDEs, build tools, automated build tools, source control, and documentation tools. Ability to bootstrap these in an environment where they do not exist. Testing Knowledge of how to test efficiently—where to write automated tests, where to write manual tests, and how to raise quality to reduce defects. Includes ability to bootstrap testing practices in new environments. Teamwork Team playing: persisting in the face of resistance and bringing others around you to also persist. Includes working with others and sharing credit. Communication Ability to understand others, empathize, recognize incentives, and clearly articulate technical trade‑offs to non‑technical individuals. Leadership Experience managing direct reports and indirectly managing non‑reports through soft leadership. Security and Privacy Security Engineering Ability to build systems securely, understand security pitfalls of languages and technologies, and check assumptions and code securely. Understands how to minimize and protect sensitive information in software and infrastructure. Vulnerability Assessment Can model threats and assess risk, knowing appropriate mitigation strategies and balancing risk, mitigation, and mission (Blue team). Penetration Testing Can conduct penetration testing and red‑team exercises (Red team). Cryptography Understands how to protect and authenticate information with cryptography, including identity systems and cryptography’s role therein. Qualifications Software development experience – 5+ years. Bachelor's degree. Active clearance (preferred but not required).
