Job Description:

As a Software Engineer I, you develop and maintain technical solutions for EDMO Data Catalog services, ensuring adherence to engineering and architectural design principles while meeting business requirements. You build and support defined components within cloud-enabled solutions, applying documented infrastructure, deployment and architecture patterns with guidance from senior engineers. You work on defined features, components, enhancements and break / fix work under the guidance of senior engineers and technical leads.

You contribute to the full delivery lifecycle by analysing requirements, building quality code, performing unit and component testing, supporting peer reviews and participating in production support. You are expected to apply enterprise standards for security, reliability, scalability and maintainability while growing your knowledge of the platform and business domain.

You use AI-assisted engineering tools only within approved guidance, treating generated outputs as drafts that must be tested, reviewed and validated before use.

• Defined features, components and enhancements are delivered on time and aligned to documented requirements and architecture standards.
• Code is maintainable, tested and consistent with team standards, with defects identified and resolved early in the delivery cycle.
• Assigned features and components are implemented in alignment with documented cloud, infrastructure, security and scalability patterns.
• Technical documentation, test evidence and implementation notes are clear enough to support handoff, operations and future maintenance.
• Incidents, defects and support requests are analysed with appropriate urgency and escalated when risks or blockers emerge.
• Knowledge of the business domain, platform and engineering practices grows through hands-on delivery and active participation in the team.

• Develop new solutions, features and components for assigned engineering programs and platform initiatives.
• Develop and test assigned components within approved cloud-enabled architecture and deployment patterns.
• Perform unit and component testing for new application development aligned to business needs and technology architecture standards.
• Support business enquiries, small enhancements and break / fix implementations, including source code changes where required.
• Work with technology partners to ensure configuration and custom components meet application requirements and performance goals.
• Analyze technical requirements for assigned work and recommend pragmatic engineering solutions with guidance from senior team members.
• Document and verify system components, applications, system infrastructure, security, integration and operability designs associated with assigned work.

• Use approved AI-assisted development tools for defined tasks such as code suggestions, test scaffolding, documentation drafts and refactoring support.
• Validate generated outputs through unit tests, peer review, secure coding checks and comparison against requirements before relying on them.
• Never use sensitive or restricted information in AI prompts unless explicitly approved by policy and project guidance.
• Capture useful examples or issues encountered with AI tools and share them with the team to improve safe, repeatable practices.

• Adhere to enterprise frameworks, methodologies, secure coding practices and project delivery standards relevant to software engineering.
• Deliver effective and efficient solutions that meet key project milestones and quality expectations within assigned scope.
• Comply with defined technology delivery practices, including documentation of system requirements, estimates and implementation details as required.
• Identify risks, defects, blockers and non-standard activities early, and escalate appropriately.
• Support continuous improvement and automation opportunities within the engineering practice.

• Participate fully as a member of the team, supporting a positive work environment that promotes service, quality, innovation and teamwork.
• Provide thought leadership appropriate to level by contributing ideas, sharing technical learnings and participating in knowledge transfer.
• Keep current on emerging tools, techniques and practices relevant to assigned technology areas.
• Keep others informed about status, progress, issues and useful delivery information.
• Provide support to peers through code reviews, documentation, testing assistance and knowledge sharing as appropriate.

• Foundational knowledge of a specific domain or engineering frameworks, technologies, tools, processes and procedures.
• Performs medium to moderately complex technical tasks under general supervision.
• Develops program specifications; adapts, integrates, codes, tests and debugs programs; and is responsible for execution within assigned scope.
• Uses existing procedures to solve routine problems and makes limited exceptions.
• Generally reports to a Manager, Engineering.

• Solid software engineering fundamentals, including coding, debugging, unit testing, source control and software delivery practices.
• Experience with Python, modern application development concepts, APIs, data structures, relational or NoSQL data stores and basic performance considerations.
• Foundational understanding of cloud platforms, application deployment concepts, containerized environments, CI/CD pipelines and basic infrastructure and observability practices.
• Understanding of secure coding, identity / access concepts and operational support practices.
• Ability to work from requirements, user stories and acceptance criteria with guidance from senior engineers.
• Clear written and verbal communication skills, with a willingness to learn the business domain and enterprise engineering standards.

• Experience with TypeScript, Node.js or similar modern development frameworks.
• Exposure to Azure, AWS, containerized development environments, cloud deployment practices, CI/CD, automated testing or infrastructure-as-code concepts.
• Interest or experience in data management, data governance, metadata or catalog platforms.
• Exposure to pandas for data analysis, profiling, transformation or automation use cases is a plus.
• Familiarity with responsible use of coding copilots or AI-assisted developer workflows.

• Undergraduate degree, Postgraduate degree or Technical Certificate.
• Strong academic background, such as computer science or engineering.
• 2 - 3+ years relevant experience.
