Education

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Software Engineering, or a related discipline (or equivalent practical experience).
  

Experience

• 4+ years of professional software development experience, with senior-level responsibilities such as mentoring, code reviews, technical ownership, or leading modules/projects.
  
• Proven track record designing and delivering interactive web applications (Phoenix, Vue.js, Nuxt.js, or equivalent).
  
• Hands-on experience with relational databases and production-grade data modeling and SQL.
  

Software delivery and SDLC ownership

• Own end-to-end delivery across the Software Development Life Cycle (requirements → design → build → test → deploy → support).
  
• Translate business/user requirements into clear technical specifications, solution designs, and implementation plans.
  
• Produce and maintain flowcharts, sequence diagrams, architecture notes, and technical documentation for both new and existing modules.
  
• Estimate effort, define milestones, and execute work in line with project plans and Value8 Group standards.
  

System design and architecture

• Design scalable, fault-tolerant, secure software solutions with clear boundaries and maintainable module structure.
  
• Make architectural decisions around performance, reliability, observability, and maintainability (including trade-offs and risks).
  
• Integrate software components into complete systems (APIs, services, background jobs, data stores, third-party integrations).
  

Development and code quality

• Write clean, testable, well-structured code (primarily Elixir), ensuring compatibility, stability, and maintainability.
  
• Conduct code reviews, enforce coding standards, and mentor developers on best practices.
  
• Implement automated testing (unit, integration, regression) and ensure high confidence releases.
  
• Maintain CI/CD workflows and deployment readiness for production environments.
  

Verification, QA, and operational excellence

• Develop software verification plans and contribute to quality assurance procedures (test strategy, QA sign-off criteria, release checklists).
  
• Troubleshoot, debug, optimize, and upgrade existing systems (performance tuning, stability improvements, defect fixes).
  
• Deploy programs, monitor outcomes, and incorporate user feedback into iterative improvements.
  
• Ensure systems remain updated with relevant enhancements, security patches, and latest features.
  

Collaboration and stakeholder management

• Work closely with UX designers, systems analysts, product owners, and other engineers to align solutions to user needs.
  
• Support cross-functional collaboration with marketing/sales and client-facing teams where technical input is needed.
  
• Communicate technical decisions clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  

Leadership and team enablement

• Lead development teams by setting technical direction, prioritizing work, and ensuring high delivery standards.
  
• Mentor junior/mid-level developers through pairing, reviews, technical coaching, and structured feedback.
  
• Contribute to process improvement: engineering standards, documentation culture, release discipline, and incident learning.
  

Quality and attention to detail

• Meticulous approach to coding, testing, documentation, and release readiness.
  
• Strong appreciation for maintainability and long-term system health (not just “shipping fast”).
  

Professional collaboration

• Works effectively with cross-functional teams and thrives in environments requiring frequent coordination.
  
• Proactive in proposing improvements to product and engineering processes.
