Software Development Engineer II

My impact reaches across the team in which I work

I provide technical leadership of medium to large features, participating in their design and taking accountability for their delivery

I am comfortable implementing and shipping end-to-end stories and am starting to understand the deeper problems in my part of the business

I am likely to be considered an expert in a specific part of my domain

This is the first level at which I do more than complete the work that s been assigned to me: I am starting to build and prioritise my own work by understanding the problems my team faces and proposing, implementing, and delivering solutions to them

I am aware of the short-term and long-term goals across my product

I work within my team, utilising data driven decision making techniques, to encouraging optimal outcomes whilst accepting appropriate trade-offs

I am comfortable both supporting other engineers in their delivery and taking the lead on major components or small services as appropriate

At this level I display a degree of ownership for the work conducted by the team and am experienced enough to know when I need support

I am able to identify risks and raise these as appropriate

At this level I am beginning to support, coach, and mentor those around me

As junior engineers join the team, I am assisting them through their onboarding process and leaning on my past experience to help get them up to speed

Whilst I may not formally be a mentor for other engineers, I am someone that individuals across the team will come to for advice and help

I prioritise sharing skills and technical knowledge across my team

I contribute to the raising the quality bar of my team s codebase, both in the code that I produce and by helping to peer review code written by other team members

I proactively provide constructive and useful feedback to other team members on their code

I have a good understanding of best practices across the industry and of Tesco architectural standards

I make sure to put these principles and standards into practice when completing my work

I am aware of the best testing and deployment strategies in the industry and have a view on the suitability of implementing these within my team

I am comfortable working in a group context and am capable of communicating technical concepts to key stakeholders
