Beast Code•Fort Walton Beach, FL

6d•$112,800 - $177,300•Hybrid

About The Position

Beast Code fosters a collaborative work environment. We encourage thinking outside the box, but prefer our SEs to play well with others and thrive as part of a team of developers, designers, product owners, and other stakeholders. Our projects range from game-based learning programs for defense contracts to 3D model solutions for commercial clients, offering engaging work in creating and optimizing code. This role designs, develops, and tests software applications throughout the entire lifecycle using standard frameworks and source control tools. It is responsible for breaking down requirements from interactive mockups, wireframes, technical specifications, bug reports, or requests from other teams. SEs are responsible for the scalability and maintainability of the codebase, and for identifying and adopting new technology and frameworks. Indirectly, SEs assist the rest of the team by ensuring that QA has the tools necessary to test the application, ensuring design is creating mockups and wireframes that are technically sound, and the product owner has a reasonable understanding of the technical state of the product. SEs are familiar with technologies such as HTML 5, CSS 3, JavaScript/Typescript, Vue, Vite/Webpack, Python, C# .NET, Docker, Kubernetes, Helm, or SQL.
