Job Requirements / Description
Overview:
In the Chick-fil-A Lead Software Engineer role you’ll serve as a team leader, problem solver, mentor, and expert software engineer. We need you to apply the technical experience you have gained in software development to the design, development, and delivery of highly engineered, complex technical products, serving to both oversee your team and contribute as a member. You will not be responsible for HR management of your team, though - you’ll rather be able to focus on the technical aspects of your team’s growth and delivery.
You will be responsible for critical enterprise APIs (Java/Spring) that power hundreds of applications across Chick-fil-A by providing information about our Chick-fil-A restaurants. In addition, you will be responsible for a number of integrations that are used by Chick-fil-A to make sure we are able to be transparent in our interactions with customers and responsive to their needs.
Our Flexible Future model offers a healthy mix of working in person and virtually, strengthening key elements of the Chick-fil-A culture by fostering collaboration and community.
Responsibilities:
Own solution architecture decisions for the team’s products
Coordinate with Technical Product Owners to understand what needs to be built and break requirements down into technical stories on which your team can execute
Lead delivery and operations of the team’s products, including both individual contribution and support, as well as delegated tasks and support to your team’s engineers. We desire our lead engineers to be both leads and engineers, spending about half of their time on leading others and half contributing engineering work themselves
Lead, mentor, and assess other staff engineers, exemplifying and teaching best practices, helping to
solve knotty problems, and reviewing code
Interview, select, onboard, and oversee other engineers
Guide engineering team in adoption of Chick-fil-A software engineering standards
Identify & propose emerging software engineering technologies, methodologies and/or approaches
Note - Working in a DevOps model, this opportunity includes both building and running solutions that could require off-hours support. This support is shared amongst the team members to cover weekends and weeknights.
