Senior Backend Engineer Salesforce

Description

Engineers display a solid understanding of core engineering concepts. They are focused on growing as an engineer, learning the squad's tools and current processes, as well as a strong background in Engineering best-practices like automated testing, source control, and agile planning.

Capable of taking well-scoped components from a larger project and completing these tasks in a reasonable time frame. Engineers at this level are assumed to be constantly making steady progress on assigned tasks and know when to ask for help when they are blocked. They can own their independent small-to-medium features all the way through from technical design to launch.

They communicate well and are capable of delivering feedback to peers and their manager. When given a task with unclear requirements they know how to ask for clarification, and ensure that all assumptions are vetted before work starts to reduce the need for re-work. They understand how their work fits into the larger picture for their squad, and use this to identify conflicting requirements to their squad lead and product manager. As Engineers learn they will start to participate more in the technical design process, often with guidance from senior engineers.

Engineers at this level should be improving the speed at which they learn from their mistakes. By the time an engineer is ready to be promoted to Senior Engineer they will have focused on some technology as their expertise and become capable of mentoring interns and junior engineers in these areas.
