NOTE:  This is a hybrid position which requires the candidate to work from the Manila office 2 days a week.

Responsibilities:

• Develop and maintain features for Enterprise Corrections products with a focus on security, performance, and quality.
• Collaborate with other engineers, engineering management, designers, and product owners to design and architect solutions to our business problems.
• Write clean, maintainable code, and conduct thorough code reviews.
• Automate and improve build and deployment processes to enhance efficiency and reliability.
• Design and integrate Web Services/APIs as part of product development.
• Work with relational databases (e.g., MySQL) to develop, optimize, and maintain data-driven features.
• Identify technical debt and implement solutions to improve team productivity.
• Confidently deliver features with minimal guidance and support larger projects.
• Create and maintain documentation for recurring issues, knowledge transfer and standard procedures.

Success in This Role:

• Demonstrated ability to build and maintain scalable, user-friendly applications using modern programming languages, databases, and front-end frameworks.
• Adaptability to work across various languages and technologies as needed.
• Emphasis on coding standards, maintainability, and code quality.
• Familiarity with AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, and cloud technologies.
• Mindset for continuous improvement, including test-driven development, automated testing, and continuous deployment.
• Collaborative and proactive approach to problem-solving and solution delivery.
• Enable other engineers’ success both through your code contributions and through direct mentorship.

Qualifications:

• 5+ years of professional software development experience, including designing, building, and maintaining SaaS applications.
• Strong understanding of software engineering principles, design patterns, and scalable architecture.
• Proficiency in at least one programming language such as PHP, C#, or Java; experience with PHP is preferred.
• Experience working with relational databases, including schema design, querying, and performance tuning.
• Familiarity with cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud) and cloud-native development practices.
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines and modern DevOps workflows.
• Strong communication and problem-solving skills, with the ability to work effectively in cross-functional teams.
• Proven ability to prioritize and deliver quality software in an Agile environment.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.

Nice to have:

• Experience with Node.js
• Familiarity with Web Services, AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, and experience with automating build and deployment processes.

• It’s healthy to laugh at yourself.
• Hard work is necessary. Smart work and long hours can be appropriate but are not a way of life.
• There are no experts, just people who are building expertise.
• Buzz words like "think-piece, charette or cross-functional synergy” have no place in an engineering team.
• You make the most progress as a team, and teams aren’t built out of people who want to shout the loudest.
• Owning a software platform is like owning any other complex system (a house, a business, insert favorite metaphor here), it requires observation and maintenance as well as new construction.
