Description
Who You are:
You are a passionate, solutions-oriented, SDLC-driven object-oriented programming Staff Software Engineer who has tremendous professional experience in tech in an agile setup and is up for a challenge. You come with very strong technical skills and experience in multiple technologies and programming languages, and you love building secure and quality software. You are more than comfortable with JIRA, Confluence, Test-Driven Design, C# with .NET Frameworks, WPF and Windows Services, and have built and deployed client and/or VPN applications that communicate with cloud back-end technologies.
You are inquisitive, you love learning, you know how to get to the right answers even if you do not know them to start with. You listen carefully and voice your challenges and progress to your leaders. You have the knack for innovation; you are driven by the desire to help our customers/partners succeed. You also embody the other human values that we care about most (accountability, belonging, bias for action) and you know that people matter most.
