• Familiar with secure coding standards (e.g., OWASP, CWE, SEI CERT) and vulnerability management 
• Infrastructure as code and cloud first software development knowledge experience preferred.  
• Understands and implements standard branching (e.g., Gitflow) and peer review practices. Move the team towards trunk based development 
• Apply tools (e.g., Sonar, Zally, Checkmarx ) and techniques to scan and measure code quality and anti-patterns as part of development activity 
• Has skills in test driven and behavior driven development (TDD and BDD) to build just enough code and collaborate on the desired functionality. Ability to keep the full testing pyramid healthy - Has skills to author test code with lots of smaller tests followed by few contract tests at service level and fewer journey tests at the integration level 
• Understands the use of basic design patterns (e.g., factory, adaptor, singleton, composite, observer, strategy, inversion of control) 
• Understands use cases for advanced design patterns (e.g., service-to-worker, MVC, API gateway, intercepting filter, dependency injection, lazy loading, all from the gang of four) to implement efficient code

• Has skills to elaborate and estimate non-functional requirements, including security (e.g., data protection, authentication, authorization), regulatory, and performance (SLAs, throughput, transactions per second) 
• Has skills to orchestrate release workflows and pipelines, and apply standardized pipelines via APIs to achieve CI and CD using industry standard tools (e.g., Jenkins, AWS/Azure pipelines, XL Release, others). 
• Familiar with different application patterns to implement different types of business processes (e.g., APIs, event-driven-services, batch-services, web-applications, big data) 
• Experience in Continuous Integration (CI) and Delivery (CD) concepts, and capabilities to support automation, pipelines, virtualization, and containerization
