Job Requirements / Description
Overview:
In the Chick-fil-A Senior Lead Software Engineer role you’ll serve as a problem solver, influencer, mentor, architect, and expert software engineer. We need you to apply the technical experience you have gained in software development and infrastructure management to the design, development, and delivery of highly engineered, complex technical products. You will both collaborate through partnerships and contribute as a member but will not be responsible for HR management duties. Instead, you’ll be able to focus on the technical aspects of delivering exceptional capabilities with a primary focus on geospatial solutions.
Specifically do the above as it relates to Chick-fil-A’s Esri platforms, applications, and data products which provide valuable cross-cutting capabilities in support of managing current and future locations. This role will also lead the transformation of current processes to be more scalable, automated, secure, and agile to emerging applications and analytical 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:
Ensure engineering best practices are applied throughout geospatial products and related solutions, from architecture to DevSecOps and platform support
Lead delivery and operations of multiple technical products, including both individual contribution and support as well as collaboration across departments. We desire our lead engineers to be both leads and engineers, spending about half of their time on leading and teaching others and half contributing engineering work themselves
Lead, mentor, and assess other staff engineers and analysts, exemplifying and teaching best practices, helping to solve knotty problems, reviewing code, and sharing stories
Interview, select, onboard, and oversee contract engineers
Guide adoption of Chick-fil-A software and platform engineering standards
Influence and partner with other technology teams (across Chick-fil-A as well as partners and vendors) to ensure geospatial solutions are managed with industry best practices and well-poised for future needs
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.
Minimum Qualifications:
5+ years of experience in software engineering
3+ years of experience in the technical oversight of software engineering teams
Demonstrated leadership skills and experience
Hands-on experience supporting a multi-server deployment and related tools (PowerShell, DSC, AWS Systems Manager)
Experience working with Infrastructure as Code (preferably Terraform)
Real-world system architecture experience (preferably AWS)
Experience working with SRE tooling (CloudWatch, ArcGIS monitor, Datadog)
Demonstrated ability to influence technical vendors and/or partners
Demonstrated ability to communicate complex technical information in a condensed manner to various stakeholders verbally and in writing
Experience implementing application security, software design patterns and the SDLC
Strong organizational skills, including an ability to perform under pressure and manage multiple priorities with competing demands for resources
Experience designing complex software solutions
Experience mentoring and leading a team, including good interpersonal and team collaboration skills
Proven ability to positively influence the engineering culture and practices in a professional environment
Broad or deep programming experience in Java, Python, Go, or other comparable languages
Experience with SQL and data modeling
