THE GAME PLAN
Everyone on our team has a part to play

Your work is consistently of high quality. You solve difficult problems, applying appropriate technologies and best practices. You work with your team to invent, design and build software that is stable and performant. You are proficient in a broad range of design approaches and know when it is appropriate to use them and when it is not. Your solutions are pragmatic. You consider the legacy of the code you produce and write code that an Engineer unfamiliar with the system can understand. You limit the use of short-term workarounds. You do things with the proper level of complexity the first time (or at least minimize incidental complexity). You create flexible software without over-engineering. You make appropriate trade-offs, re-use where possible, and are judicious about introducing dependencies. You are efficient with resource usage (e.g., system hardware, database, memory/CPU, etc.).

• You own parts of product and technology & demonstrate subject matter expertise.
• You write simple and extendable code following standards and best practices and test your code thoroughly.
• You help balance customer requirements with the team requirements.
• You help your team evolve by actively participating in the code review process, design discussions, team planning, and delivery excellence reviews.
• You take on projects and make software enhancements that improve the team software and processes.
• You work to resolve the root cause of complex problems, leaving software better and easier to maintain than when you found it.
• You estimate stories/tasks accurately and deliver them in time.
• You keep yourself up to date with market standards and open-source frameworks.
• Most importantly, you are: humble, pragmatic, self-managed, thirsty for knowledge, never satisfied and always challenging the norm. You demonstrate responsibility for the state of the code you both inherit and produce.
