You’re someone who sees software engineering as a craft through which you build applications to help and serve your clients. You take in the big picture, but also appreciate and manage the details. As a craftsperson, you’re an expert of the software engineering tools at your disposal, and use them to work with your client to understand, refine, and fulfill their vision. You also strive to see others thrive and excel in their own craft by shepherding and mentoring them.
What’s the role?
The Software Engineer leads their engineering teammates in delivering high quality solutions for Dayspring’s professional services clients. This is a full-time position in our San Francisco office, with an option to be 40% remote.
You’ll be responsible for delivering software solutions for specific client engagements. Using the agile methodology, you’ll define sprints and deliverables, working to keep the budget-scope-timeline triangle in balance. You’ll lead a team of 1-3 engineers to implement the chosen software solution—with everybody working 40-hour weeks and being able to unplug for time off.
As the client’s primary point of contact, you’ll provide the client with regular progress and budget updates, as well as work with them to refine the project backlog and define future sprints. After a successful delivery, you will continue as the client’s point of contact, nurturing a long-term relationship, supporting the client through maintenance engagements, and facilitating future projects.
As a technical lead, you will solve critical technical problems, create the technical architecture, and research and specify the technologies for projects. You’ll assist an Engineering Team Lead or Principal Consultant during a project’s discovery phase, first working with the client to gather requirements, then defining and estimating solutions to meet the client’s needs.
As an experienced member of the team, you’ll support the team’s Mentor Engineer to train junior engineers, equipping them to grow as software engineers and serve Dayspring’s clients with excellence.
A software engineer at your core, you will write code or debug existing code as required.
The Software Engineer is an experienced member of one of Dayspring’s engineering teams and reports to the team’s Engineering Team Lead.
