Full Job Description
Software Development Engineer II, EBS ECAS
Key job responsibilities
- Design and implement software solutions for major features and improvements, applying sound system design principles that account for scalability, maintainability, and performance.
- Write clean, well-tested, and maintainable code using optimal data structures and algorithms, and actively participate in code reviews to provide constructive feedback to teammates.
- Collaborate with customers, stakeholders, and cross-functional peers to understand business requirements and deliver solutions that balance customer needs with technical considerations.
- Identify and resolve root causes of operational issues, driving permanent fixes and continuously improving your team's operational health and processes.
- Mentor and coach fellow engineers, train new team members on system architecture and operations, and contribute to clear technical documentation that supports long-term team knowledge.
A day in the life
Your day begins by reviewing operational metrics and addressing any alerts from the systems you own. You then join your team's standup to align on priorities before diving into design or implementation work. You might spend the morning writing code for a new feature, then shift to reviewing a teammate's pull request in the afternoon-offering feedback that helps them grow. You regularly collaborate with product and engineering partners to refine requirements, and you evaluate opportunities to integrate generative AI tools where they can improve productivity.
