Here's a bit more about the Senior Software Engineer position:

The Sr. Software Engineer is responsible for designing and analyzing applications, developing project plans, coding, testing and documenting all code utilizing Java and web-based programming tools.  The Engineer will also be responsible for maintaining and upgrading existing applications and will communicate with customers to understand their requirements and assist in the implementation of work requests.

 

Java: 

Candidate will be responsible for creating software that is both customer-facing and internal, primarily in the Java programming language.  Candidate must demonstrate proficiency with common aspects of the Java language such as generics, collections, streams, multi-threading, as well as awareness of common software patterns.

 

Communication/Mentoring:

The Candidate will spend time acting as a tech lead for a team or working with a group of teams and must be able to demonstrate that they can effectively communicate with their teams. The candidate must be able to act as a mentor to less experienced developers, participate in code reviews, and collaborate with the team. The candidate must be able to work with product owners to help translate product requirements into achievable user stories that the team can understand and successfully implement.

 

Object-Oriented Design:
