The Main Responsibilities

Who we are

Lumen Cloud is the focal point for all cloud-related development inside the larger Lumen Corporation. We consciously maintain our small companystartup feel, while taking advantage of the resources available from such a large company. As such, we have a very strongly focused devops culture, highly skilled agile workforce, with development as our core activity. We build the cloud, we build the applications that run on it, and we make it run. Every day. All the time. It's what we do.

The position

We have an opening for an entry level Software Engineer to expand our team of engineers who are developing Lumen's cloud infrastructure. This person would contribute to building one of the products that run as part of our cloud architecture, touching all aspects of the development lifecycle from coding to deployment all the way to support.

Who we hire

We want to hire unbelievably bright developers, who are a joy to work with, love to work with others, solve problems, listen well, and lead as appropriate. Oh, yeah, they have to love to learn new things, too. On top of that, our ideal candidate also should have a passion for cloud computing and for creating applications and services that make developers' lives easier while helping them create their enterprise-ready applications.

Limiting yourself to just one area of the technology stack would be unthinkable for this kind of developer, so we hope that you are comfortable doing everything from creating beautiful, friendly UIs, to crafting logical and easy to use APIs, all the way to writing distributed computing algorithms between applications running on entirely different clouds.

Since our teams operate in an extremely Agile culture, using a combination of XP and Kanban practices and processes, you'd be encouraged to collaborate closely, deliver small pieces of working software frequently, work in pairs, write your code test first, and think about things like cycle time and WIP limits. All of this adds up to an exciting, challenging, and always interesting place to work, where hard problems are found and solved every day.

What We Look For in a Candidate

• At least 1 years of experience in Core Java Python NodeJS
• Understand requirements and provide solutions with good turnaround time
• Ability to learn new technologies and implement with little to no guidance
• Excels at working in a fast-paced, startup mode.
