The main function of a software engineer is to apply the principles of computer science and mathematical analysis to the design, development, testing, and evaluation of the software and systems that make computers work. A typical software engineer researches, designs, develops and tests operating systems-level software, compilers, and network distribution software for medical, industrial, military, communications, aerospace, business, scientific and general computing applications.

Job Responsibilities:

• Modify existing databases and database management systems.
• Write and code logical and physical database descriptions and specify identifiers of database to management system or direct others in coding descriptions.
• Work as part of a project team to coordinate database development and determine project scope and limitations.
• Review project requests describing database user needs to estimate time and cost required to accomplish project.

Skills:

• Verbal and written communication skills, problem solving skills, customer service and interpersonal skills.
• Basic ability to work independently and manage one’s time.

Top 3 must-have HARD skills:

• Coding- C++ and PHP
• Ambiguity- dealing with it on their own

Good to have skills:

• Compliance experience would be helpful (not required)
• Learning how industry leaders compute and document
• Less technical and more documentation (reels)
• Writing code, product documentation, view
• Want them to be comfortable writing documentation (less coding and more documenting every step)
• 2+ years of experience for both roles
• Some compliance experience would be helpful
• Min 2 years of job related experience, internship is not enough

Typical Day in the Role:

• (LOA) less technical and more documentation (reels)
• Writing code, product documentation, view
• Want them to be comfortable writing documentation (less coding and more documenting every step)

How will performance be measured:     

• Technical aspect (are they able to deliver code)
• Dealing with ambiguity- if lost: asking questions to find your way
• Keeping a positive attitude (do people like working with them or not)
