Clayton Homes
Software Engineer (Mid-level)
Remote Eligible
Position Summary
As a Software Engineer II, you will be part of an Agile Scrum team and directly contribute to the creation and maintenance of products that support our business operations. You will participate in Sprint activities, such as planning, grooming and daily standups to deliver on commitments, continuously improve process and drive positive change.
You will apply your skills in Software Development to help the team produce quality, on-time deliverables and apply root cause analysis to track down story bugs and production issues. Using an eye for quality and an attention to detail, you will help us build reliable and fault tolerant, extensible applications backed by unit testing and test automation. Additionally, you will work directly with Team Leads, Business Users, Product Owners, Functional Analysts and other Engineers to build new projects and support existing applications.
The ideal candidate is self-motivated and able to multi-task moderately complex issues on their own and when assistance is required, able to provide specific issues and options. This role requires a robust breadth of Software Development concepts allowing you to create scalable, extensible applications with minimal direction. Also necessary is interfacing with existing applications built on REST, an understanding of security implications for designs and implementations and the ability to adapt to a fast paced, changing environment.
About The Team
Are you a skilled and motivated software engineer looking to join a collaborative and innovative team? We're seeking a talented individual to join our growing team as a mid-level software engineer to help create and maintain web-based projects that support our strategic business initiatives.
In this role, you'll work closely with team leads, business users, product owners, functional analysts, and other engineers to develop high-quality, reliable, public facing applications. You'll apply your software development skills to produce on-time deliverables and use root cause analysis to track down story bugs and production issues. With an eye for quality and attention to detail, you'll help us build fault-tolerant applications backed by unit testing and test automation.
Our ideal candidate is someone who sees the big picture and understands how different components interact through mechanisms such as REST APIs, and event driven architecture. You'll work with architects, other software engineers, and management to implement designs that build toward a strategic vision and guide more junior team members through task breakdown and implementation.
To succeed in this role, you'll need a broad range of design pattern knowledge and development practices to build loosely coupled, extensible applications. You'll be a partner to our business users and understand the tradeoffs of different design choices as it impacts the schedule. And most importantly, you'll be motivated by solving complex problems and continuously improving processes.
Join our team and take your career to the next level with a company that values innovation, collaboration, and quality work.
