JuniorMid Software Engineer

Junior/Mid SOFTWARE ENGINEER (1 to 5 years of experience)

Overview

Were looking for a Software Engineer who can operate independently within an Agile team take ambiguous requirements from concept to production and bring architectural judgment to how we structure and process data at scale. This is not a developer from a particular tech stack but rather a true software engineer who can and will work with any number of languages without restriction.

We are only accepting candidates currently residing in the state of Florida preferably in the greater Tampa/St. Petersburg area at this time.

Responsibilities

• Work within a Scrum/Agile team through the full sprint cycle backlog refinement sprint planning capacity estimation daily standups sprint review and retrospectives.

• Participate in requirement refinement sessions with product owners and stakeholders turning ambiguous asks into well-scoped estimable stories.

• Apply modern software design patterns and enforce separation of concerns across the codebase ensuring components remain loosely coupled and independently testable.

• Design and build proofs of concept (POCs) to validate new approaches before committing to full implementation.

• Design and implement systems that handle structured (CSV relational) semi-structured (JSON) unstructured and schema-bound formats like Avro including the tradeoffs between them for storage processing and schema evolution.

• Contribute to big data architecture and design patterns batch and/or streaming pipelines data partitioning and scalable processing approaches.

• Collaborate with UI/UX on interface design decisions ensuring frontend implementation aligns with usability and design intent.

Required Qualifications

• Proven experience working in Scrum/Agile teams including sprint planning capacity estimation and iterative delivery.

• Strong grasp of modern design patterns (e.g. strategy factory repository observer) and the separation of concerns principle able to explain not just what it is but why it matters for maintainability and testability.

• Experience with UI/UX collaboration and requirement refinement.

• Hands-on experience with structured semi-structured unstructured and schema-based data formats (CSV JSON Avro).

• Big data technology experience (e.g. Spark Kafka Hadoop ecosystem or equivalent) and associated design patterns.

• Demonstrated experience building and validating POCs.

• Experience designing and building microservices architectures service decomposition inter-service communication (REST/gRPC/event-driven messaging) API contracts and independent deployability.

• Strong understanding of data layer and persistence design patterns repository pattern unit of work CQRS data access layer abstraction ORM vs. raw query tradeoffs caching strategies and both relational (SQL) and NoSQL database design.

• Experience with cloud platforms AWS Azure or Google Cloud Platform (GCP) including core compute storage and managed data services on at least one major provider.

Desirable

• Proficiency in one or more modern languages beyond your primary stack Python Scala Go Java Kotlin Rust TypeScript/ or C# with the versatility to pick up new languages as project needs evolve.

• Multi-cloud exposure across AWS Azure and GCP and familiarity with cloud-native patterns (containers Kubernetes serverless managed data/streaming services).
