Principal Developer (Java)

Description

You will contribute to an established and growing development team that writes and manages SaaS products for an esteemed client. You will be part of the Integrations Pod and will help to build out new Integrations as well as maintain existing ones. The Principal Developer will be accountable for performing a range of programming duties including full stack coding, 3rd party API research, and ensuring a standard of excellence. You will oversee projects and mentor junior developers, acting as a point of contact when issues arise.

Who You Are

Every contribution, either simple or complex, has a big impact on our customers and the rest of the team. If you enjoy working with smaller team sizes, thrive with a large amount of autonomy, and don’t mind some ambiguity, then this may be the right place for you!

You value an agile & iterative culture where feedback is given quickly and constructively, collaboration is as easy as breathing, iterations are done swiftly and code integrations are continuous.

You are self-motivated, independent, and solution-oriented. You take general direction well and can fill in the gaps. Being biased towards action is hardcoded into your problem-solving techniques and you always have your eye on keeping the team moving forward. You know how to find your way to solutions (aka often great Google skills!) and also when to lean on your team for support.

How We Work

We integrate our code regularly and ship often. We believe in short incremental development cycles so we expect our developers to commit code daily at a minimum. We expect our contributors to work autonomously and with an ability to identify, communicate, and solve problems. All of our developers interact with our Product & QA teams and fix issues based on their feedback.
