Qualifications:

• Bachelor of Science in Computer Science or equivalent.
• 2+ years of large scale, full life cycle development experience.

• Willingness and ability to take on new technologies.
• Ability to break down complex problems into simple solutions.

• Take responsibility for the quality of the code you produce.
• Operate across our evolving technology stack - we are developing in AWS, Java, React, Typescript, SQL, and more.
• Take responsibility for all aspects of software engineering, from design to implementation, QA and maintenance. You will work closely with more senior engineers who will help define projects and rely on you to deliver key components of them.
