Jahnel Group
Jahnel Group's mission is to provide the absolute best environment for software creators to pursue their passion by connecting them with great clients doing meaningful work.
We get to build some of the most complex and compelling applications for our clients located across the country. We're a fast-growing INC 5000 recognized company, yet we still work as a very close-knit team (100+ employees). We're growing like crazy, and if you're looking for the next place to call home, hit us up for a beer or coffee. Who We're Looking For
An Associate Software Engineer works to help build, modify and maintain software solutions. As an Associate Level, you are expected to be learning while also working on real world applications. When placed on a team, you are expected to be a welcomed member and be productive. It is expected that you have a basic understanding of typical development practices and some real world practical applications of them. You must be able to follow standard procedures and be able to work well with others.
Roles and Responsibilities
Due to the breadth of domains a Software Engineer can explore during their career it's difficult to list specifics about each one. Instead we use the term "core technical skill set" to refer to a reasonable industry standard grouping of a domain. Examples include but are not limited to Application Engineering, Cloud Engineering, DevOps Engineering, Data Engineering, and Site Reliability Engineering, etc. A typical Software Engineer at this level would demonstrate the vast majority of these qualities continuously for at least a year. Craftsmanship
Reading and writing software with at least one core technical skill set Testing and debugging software with at least one core technical skill set Fundamental tools/concepts relevant to those core technical skill sets Reading and writing documentation for developers and end users Problem solving
