Your Mission

Enhance the team’s capacity to deliver assigned stories by end of sprint.

• Cultivate Camaraderie: Ensure that Core Values are living and breathing throughout the project team.
• Deliver Value: Develop features requiring a novel technical design and act as a mentor to more junior developers through ad-hoc collaboration and structured code reviews.
• Increase Velocity: Enhance the team’s capacity by documenting plans to anticipated risks/blockers, advancing best practices, and mentoring peers and more junior team members.
• Guide Development: Serve as technical SME in the sprint, ensuring successful delivery of the sprint commitment by managing pipelines, environments, and oversight of key deliverables.
• Demonstrate Expertise: Present technical and sprint demos, such as completed API methods and automated deployment processes during sprint review meetings.
• Expand Frameworks: Demonstrate proficiency at two of the following: building attractive user interfaces, building data driven REST APIs, administering databases/cloud/servers.

Your Day-to-Day

• Key Activities: Ensuring the team understands acceptance criteria, tracking daily progress, limiting the team’s QA kickback, delivering stories as assigned, finding opportunities to increase capacity and velocity.
• How a Current Praxenter Describes The Role: “I spend a lot of time in sprint planning and delegating technical work for other devs, anticipating how to deliver as much value for the client via efficiency and tech debt prevention. This has the added benefit of allowing assigned devs to grow technically while also reducing as many unknowns as possible in the cone of uncertainty. It’s my job to keep in sync with delivery leads on priorities, team allocation, risks, etc, as well as act as the technical interface for the client to help guide them without overloading them with technical jargon.”

Your Qualifications

• Technical Proficiency: demonstrable proficiency with at least two of the following: building attractive user interfaces, building data driven REST APIs, administering databases/cloud/servers.
• Practical Experience: 5-8 years professional experience in relevant technology and projects, including ongoing adherence of best practices, experience managing DevOps pipelines, developing features with novel technical designs, and acting as a technical lead to a development team.
  • Expertise in modern JavaScript frameworks and libraries, e.g., React, with a strong ability to build responsive and dynamic user interfaces, leveraging TypeScript for enhanced code quality and maintainability.
  • Extensive experience with Node.js and building scalable backend services.
