Software Engineer Role Description

Give your software team a clear vision of success in their role with a Wildbit role decription.

How is this different to your typical role description? Here is a sample of the style of this software engineer role description.

A good developer knows how to code well and is passionate about their craft. They care about the quality of the code and work hard to maintain it.

A bad developer creates technical debt by sacrificing quality to meet a delivery deadline. They don’t keep other developers in mind when writing code and fail to make it easy to understand their work...
