About The Position

The Software Engineer III will demonstrate up-to-date expertise and apply it to the development, execution, and improvement of software engineering plans. This role involves supporting and aligning efforts to meet customer and business needs, and building commitment for perspectives and rationales. The engineer will understand business, stakeholder, and technical requirements, and assist in analyzing existing software solutions to address needs. Responsibilities include preparing requirement traceability matrices, contributing to user stories, creating and configuring code for software components, and ensuring they meet various non-functional requirements like maintainability, availability, and scalability. The role also involves assisting in the selection of appropriate development standards and tools, learning new coding languages and frameworks, building automation scripts for CI/CD and testing, implementing telemetry features, and ensuring security policy requirements are applied during development. Additionally, the engineer will map customer requirements to test objectives, create and execute test cases, track and analyze defects, troubleshoot performance and availability issues, conduct complex maintenance procedures, monitor application performance, perform maintenance and re-engineering activities, analyze software application logs and data, and evaluate software change requests.

Implement telemetry features as required independently.
Ensure security policy requirements are properly applied to components/application during code development/configuration.
Map the customer requirements into test objectives.
Identify and create test cases for the components and modules.
Execute test cases to test the code and detect errors and defects for the entire component.
Execute different types of testing using appropriate testing tools based on the testing needs.
Track and analyze defects for the components and modules and carry out regression testing to fix defects in all instances of code changes.
Analyze defects from past software engineering solutions to avoid recurrence of similar defects.
Troubleshoot performance and availability bottlenecks for the application.
Conduct complex maintenance procedures for software applications independently.
Monitor and evaluate the performance of the software application by tracking and analyzing appropriate metrics.
Perform maintenance (corrective, adaptive, perfective) and re-engineering activities.
Analyze software application logs, maintenance activity data, performance data and analysis.
Evaluate software change requests to identify those which are valid and feasible.
