Responsibilities:

• Solve complex problems building advanced software systems, while processing several petabytes of data
• Adapt quickly to utilize software engineering best practices
• Demonstrate the ability to deliver quality software collaboratively
• Designing, implementing, and running big data pipelines that canvas over petabytes of data
• Collaborate with your team of engineers, project managers and solutions architecture to build new products and features for our clients.
• Learn functional programming
• Ensure that the software you create is testable and tested
• Actively participate in the architecture, design, and implementation discussions
• Actively participate in planning, execution, and success of complex technical projects

Pathway to Success

#ThinkOneStepAhead: At SADA Systems we are in the business of change. We are focused on leading-edge technology that is ever-evolving. We embrace change enthusiastically and encourage agility. This means that not only do our engineers know that change is inevitable, but they embrace this change to continuously expand their skills, preparing for future customer needs.

Your success starts by positively impacting the direction of a fast growing practice with vision and passion. You will be measured quarterly by the breadth, magnitude and quality of your contributions, your ability to estimate accurately, customer feedback at the close of projects, how well you collaborate with your peers, and the consultative polish you bring to customer interactions.

As you continue to execute successfully, we will build a customized development plan together that leads you through the engineering or management growth tracks.

Expectations
