Software Engineer I

As a Software Engineer, you build the products we sell to customers. You are a problem solver able to turn requirements or designs into an operational, high-quality product. At this level, you primarily focus on a single product area or set of features, with potential involvement in cross-team collaborations. You welcome input and feedback from peers and other roles in the organization and accept change as inevitable. You handle ambiguous requirements with moderate guidance and seek help or clarification when needed.
