Job Description

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.


Qualifications

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.
