The Role
This role is an exciting opportunity for a developer with significant commercial experience. You'll be an overall influence on the team you are part of without explicit line management. You'll have developed good awareness of the SDLC, working as a second pair of eyes and ears to the engineer leading your team. This includes contributing to design/architectural discussions, in addition to using your domain experience in the relevant areas to interact with customers to help troubleshoot/solve their problems.
You'll work on bug fixes and new features as part of one of our Agile teams. This will combine significant contributions to the task breakdown and estimation both for your own tasks and those of your team, drawing on your experience and knowledge of technology and existing libraries and components. As a senior member of the team, you'll act as a mentor to those less experienced on the team for both technical input and pastoral care; from time to time you may be asked to take the lead on specific areas of functionality with those colleagues. As part of this work, input to architectural design, documentation and education is expected.
As a senior member of the team, you’ll dig deeper into the problems you’re trying to solve, clarifying assumptions and exploring solutions outside of the immediate. You’ll facilitate others to do the same, modelling an attitude to learning that inspires others to seek feedback and development opportunities, supporting those opportunities where you can.
The Team
This team is responsible for components that go into our software, i.e. code that ships with the applications. This team is responsible for the building blocks that we reuse across the entire product line; it’s expected that over time their remit and team will grow as we attempt to centralise more code.
Entitlement, sentry crash reporting, and shared UI components all live with this team; we want to do more in analytics as well as other areas over time. The components this team works with are distinct from those maintained by the specific teams where specialist skills are required, focussing on the building blocks needed for VFX applications. They develop - with the Shared Tech team - techniques for working on components, and skills to extract components from products for reuse. They will also contribute to VFX platform work - again as part of something that ships in the products, though how this work overlaps with the product teams is part of our drive to exploit greater collaboration for teams.
Their goal is to have teams happy with the components they service, and want to take on new versions of components with trust and optimism through reliable, automated testing, robust code quality gating, and solid repeatable design patterns for APIs.
