Senior Software Engineer, API

Role Description:

This independently driven software engineer primarily develops Azure-based API services for Precision Animal Health data movement services. These services handle genetic animal data, animal registrations, health information, and animal quality among a host of other data. This role requires the ability to work independently on engineering tasks while collaborating cross-functionally with business leaders, other development teams, and data partners to ensure alignment with broader project goals and commercial objectives. Learning and understanding the commercial objectives is essential, as one will translate the requirements for development, testing, and implementation. One must be able to work with internal and external business stakeholders to refine requirements, develop prototypes with test cases, and deploy to production environments. Responding to urgent issues in production is not a primary activity but is a key requirement on occasion. Establishing and maintaining protocols for efficient storage and communication is essential for long-term viability of this code and the connected projects. Quality considerations include checking data integrity, ensuring data completeness, avoiding redundancy, and accurate adaptation between data models. Expertise in database design, REST APIs, Azure cloud technology, and data mapping is critical. Other duties include preparing documentation and technical specifications to describe project design. The successful candidate can balance the need for collaboration with independent effort to ensure timely delivery of business needs.

Responsibilities:

The major duties will include, but are not limited to:

• Provide leadership in Azure platform API development.
• Designing and developing Azure API and associated databases.

• Understanding commercial objectives, requirements, workflows, and key deliverables for new or revised products and services.
• Documenting details of API endpoints and parameters.
• Working across time zones in support of global business units and development teams.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Science, Information Systems, or equivalent experience.
