Performance Outcomes
Development of Products or Systems
The Software Engineer is an entry-level engineer who is learning the tools and processes for developing quality software at scale. They are still developing expertise in an initial area of the development process (e.g., frontend or backend). Within an area this may be limited to one or two approaches. They can contribute to the design and architecture of the system but are typically following the lead of others. The Software Engineer will focus on an individual component of a product or system. They will be learning how this system interacts with other components. Their work will largely be focused on individual tasks and tickets. They will think about features mostly within the current sprint. They will largely work from tickets and tasks as assigned by their team leads, focusing on efficiency and learning the development process along the way.
Engagement and Collaboration
The Software Engineer will work intricately with their teammates and may also collaborate with neighboring teams’ software engineers, product managers, and others. They will welcome and seek opportunities to learn and grow from more senior engineers as they also continue to develop their skills.
