Sr. Mobile Device Software Developer

This contract role is for a Software Developer with the primary responsibility to work with a team to code a portfolio of connected vehicle application products and/or features of a product. The software developer will have proficiency in JAVA for Android coding and possess expertise in building new (and supporting existing) Android-based software products that run on an in-vehicle platform. The software developer will engage at the development start stage and work from actionable user stories and epics that are derived from business requirements. Projects often include components that interface with back-office systems, so experience with distributed systems is essential.

Developers will work in an Agile-based environment that may not strictly adhere to every facet of the agile methodology. Developers will be expected to assure their code through comprehensive unit tests and deliver a complete, robust, and critical defect-free product to integration teams for final testing.

Additionally, software developers on this team may be required to assist in quality assurance smoke tests and regression testing depending on delivery specifics. Developers with a background in building automation and in QA are desirable.
