Senior Developer¶

Communicate issues and roadblocks effectively so that the project may be altered or the issues solved
Maintain competency with company and industry code standards
Maintain competency with SAP database structure, common SAP usage, and Automat
Work with other developers to spread project load or maintain existing solutions

Description¶

A Tiger Sheep Senior Developer is a technical position that is expected to take on greater responsibilities over projects and teams of fellow developers in order to accomplish greater goals.

In addition to continuing competency as a Developer, a Senior Developer will be expected to participate in project planning meetings, travel to meet clients and understand their needs, and translate those needs into requirements for others to implement.

Senior Developers are expected to conduct code reviews, as well as design and validate project code structure, and enforce the adherence to that design. They must research and review dependencies in accordance with company standards, and promote the adoption of new and useful technologies revealed through that research.

Additionally, Senior Developers provide insight, guidance, and mentoring for junior Developers so that they understand Tiger Sheep standards, history, and expectations, as well as giving them goals to work toward.

How to be successful¶

Continued and deeper mastery of Automat and SAP.
Write reusable, modular, maintainable code.
Self-document your projects and responsibilities.

Maintain positive client and coworker relations.
Complete well-designed, successful projects.

Common Tasks¶

Break larger tasks into smaller tasks suitable for your available time.
