Additionally, you will be tasked to improving the resilience of performance/SW test frameworks.
You are expected to participate in technical communities of practices (e.g., Community of Practices, Guilds) participating actively to share and build knowledge collectively; potentially leading these communities to improve the engineering processes and competencies in the ATM and digital domains.
KEY ACTIVITIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
As a Software Engineer, you are accountable for:
· Designing and delivering software to meet requirements including architecture, design, reuse, development, integration and verification.
· Defining and tailoring the software engineering environment and the process, practices and tools applicable to the project
· Ensuring that the designed solution is developed according to design, schedule, cost and quality expectations.
· Identifying risks, and proposing effective solutions; executing mitigation actions and reporting on outcomes and residual risks
· Analyzing performance and looking for optimization opportunities on various workloads spanning from performance tuning on mid to large real-world applications
· Investigating performance bottlenecks across the entire software stack from the application down to the OS and CPU levels.
· Making tools and infrastructure to facilitate and accelerate performance analysis.
· Writing benchmarks to demonstrate and estimate the performance impact of suggested optimizations
· Owns the knowledge and conducts regular knowledge sharing sessions on best practices (e.g., Java coding practices, JVM deployment options)
