Description
Global Operations & Engineering Services (GOES) Tech's mission is to create the infrastructure, data foundation, and operational frameworks that enable Global Operations to scale efficiently and make faster, better decisions. We measure ourselves by the impact we have on:- Reducing cycle time
- Improving capital efficiency
- Ensuring compliance excellence
- Accelerating capability development across the organization
At GOES Tech, we are technically excellent, operationally disciplined, and relentlessly focused on what creates real value. We embrace a culture of experimentation — some investments will work brilliantly, some won't. We learn from both and keep moving forward.
Our Mental Model: The Developer Mindset
At the core of how GOES Tech thinks and operates is a mental model we call the Developer Mindset. It guides how we prioritize, make tradeoffs, and act with speed while maintaining a high bar. It means:
- Working ahead of demand and looking around corners
- Taking ownership for outcomes, not just tasks
- Creating long-term value and flexibility
- Using data to make informed decisions
- Solving problems rather than stopping at constraints
- Intentionally shaping what comes next, not simply responding to what is needed now
Key job responsibilities
- Architect & Design: Lead the architecture and design of new and existing systems within GOES Tech, including design patterns, reliability, scalability, and performance optimization
- Build & Deliver: Drive full software development lifecycle execution — from coding standards and code reviews to source control management, build processes, testing, and operations
- Lead & Mentor: Serve as a technical leader and mentor to engineering team members, raising the bar on technical excellence and engineering culture across GOES Tech
- Operate at Scale: Own the reliability and operational health of globally deployed, highly concurrent, high-throughput systems
- Partner Cross-Functionally: Collaborate with product management, program management, and senior leadership across GOES Tech and Global Operations to translate business needs into scalable technical solutions
- Drive the Developer Mindset: Work ahead of demand, use data to inform decisions, take ownership of outcomes, and proactively shape the future of our systems and processes
- Innovate Continuously: Identify opportunities to reduce cycle time, improve capital efficiency, and accelerate capability development through technology
A day in the life
This is a hands-on position in which you will own everything from end to end: requirements gathering, designs, design reviews, implementations, code reviews, incremental feature launches, operations, mentoring, and the driving of continuous improvement. A successful candidate will have a deep technical expertise, excellent leadership skills, an interest in developing software, and a motivation to achieve results in a fast-paced environment. You should be comfortable diving deep into technical architectures and requirements, be able to quickly identify solutions to challenges discovered during development, and ready to work with some of the latest cloud computing and AI technology.
