Software Engineer II Backend

Created on 28-02-2020
Location Cagliari

Description

You are primarily a software engineer that happens to have specialised on the backend. You don't consider any part of your software's life to be someone else's problem.
You find Scala to be a great tool and you can talk about some of its drawbacks. You know how to take advantage of its multi-paradigm nature.
While you welcome the technical freedom of greenfield developments you also enjoy the intricacies inherent in evolving existing software.
You're capable of appreciating the subtle impacts of different tech choices but ultimately you're a pragmatic. You favour readability of code, instinctively rejecting excessive conciseness or artistry.
You naturally stay within the scope of a story. You are biased to action: you prefer to deliver the good instead of arguing what perfection is.
You think critically and are happy to be proven wrong. You are methodical in your troubleshooting and debugging. When you find yourself stuck you take a step-back an re-analyse. You're able to fend off pressure and get the necessary space to think.
You see in a mistake a learning opportunity. When you teach, you teach without patronising or overpowering.
You are able to communicate the technical vision in a clear way, and correctly translate tech choices and their consequences into business terms.
You will make mistakes. We'll pick you up. You will learn from them. You'll laugh a lot.
