This person should be familiar with design and implementation issues specific to a data driven, highly scalable environments and be able to handle such issues with flexibility and ingenuity. The ideal candidate will have a strong customer focus, a proven track record of delivering high-quality products in a continuous delivery environment, and an appreciation for clean and simple code.

Design, implement, and support new products and features, including overseeing the technical design and architecture of projects
Grow and lead an software development team of 5-7 engineers
Collaborate with project sponsors and product designers to elaborate requirements and facilitate trade-offs that maximise value

Mentor and develop members of the team, from daily interactions to broader professional development goals
What You Should Have
A BA/BS in Computer Science or a related technical field
7+ years of enterprise software development experience
2+ years of experience leading engineering teams
Comfort recommending and advocating for enterprise architectural best practices for highly-available, scalable, and reliable implementations; but also the experience to take on technical debt where appropriate
Enterprise-level experience with continuous delivery practises and tools
Advocacy of test-driven development (TDD) and/or behaviour driven development (BDD)
Experience with pair-programming and other XP practises a plus
Expertise in several of the following areas (and interested in learning about the rest):
Web services and API design, especially in the Microsoft .NET ecosystem
Android applications, especially “offline-first”
JavaScript Web Applications, especially Progressive Web Applications
Data engineering - data pipelines that cleanse, classify, and aggregate data sets
Databases and ORMs - esp. MS SQL Server/T-SQL (and EF, Dapper, etc.); but also other forms of persistence
Experience in a lean delivery environment and understand not only the mechanics, but also the underlying motivations
NewGlobe uses primarily .NET (server-side), Vue.JS (web apps) and Kotlin (Android native), so experience in these toolchains is preferable; however, NewGlobe also values developers with diverse experience, so serious exposure to other languages and ecosystems (e.g. NodeJS, Ruby, functional languages, NoSQL DBs) is a bonus
Ability to function well in a fast-paced, informal environment where constant change is the norm and the bar for quality is set high
Interest in open source projects – familiarity with OSS projects is a plus; contributions to open source projects is a big plus
