• Work through all phases of the software development life cycle, including research, design, analysis, requirements, implementation, test automation, and maintenance
• Utilize new technologies and tools to modify products and provide integration with applications developed internally and externally
• Prepare and modify program and system documentation
• Provide guidance to less experienced team members

In this role, you will play a key role in rebuilding and advancing one of the company's products using the latest technologies. The team follows a highly organized and agile approach, with a focus on clear definitions and sprint goals. Not only will you be able to work on a challenging and exciting project, but you will also be part of a fun and collaborative work environment. If you are results-oriented and passionate about delivering impactful products that help customers, this is the opportunity you've been looking for!

The 90-day onboarding process will include a comprehensive introduction to the company and its culture. You will have the opportunity to meet your team members and get to know them. The expectations for your role will be clearly outlined on a week-by-week basis to ensure a smooth transition. Additionally, you will be given some initial simple projects to assess your capabilities and identify any skill or experience gaps, allowing for personalized development opportunities.
