Full Stack Developer IV – Bifrost Software Engineer  Full Time NEW

Location – Richfield Minnesota strongly preferring someone local to MN who can work hybrid

Duration: 6-12 months

First video interview

Final In person interview: 1.5 hours:

Will tell them about the team

• The in person interview will be whiteboarding. Will show them a visual interaction about what the user will be doing. Candidates need to follow the requirements (a lot of people miss this)
• He will tell them you don’t have to write perfect code. But they should write pseudo code that it will follow React paradigms – it has to “work, ” it has to make sense; the person has to explain what they did and why they did it.

The product is a configuration application; it configures our token services; it will configure our gateway services. It might move to some AI work too. We are bringing all this work under Bifrost. We have a lot going on, can work on front end, backend, AI, authentication, security, etc…they have a lot of things you can get your hands on.

Example: Application A talks to Application B – we need to authorize it, authenticate that A is who they say they are, etc..

Client wants us to validate that they have both Java and React experience.

Candidates should have some understanding of how Oauth works, everyone should have worked with some sort of authentication in their past.

This person will have to justify any major changes.

Will need to contribute to a team discussion.

Will do some paired programming and XP.

Need to be very product minded (we do not have a BA on our team)

Still a full stack dev, need to be strong in React.

60% React, 40% Java/Spring

This team is building a UI sitting on top of a token service. Would like someone with OAuth experience.

We use intellij, gitub, – trying to use Github copilot, github Actions for ci/cid

Team: Product minded and collaborative go together. We want to make sure we are building something right – we communicate what we are doing so we do everything the same and it is a consistent application.

4 onshore devs, 3 offshore devs, 1 UX person (gets wireframes and mockups ready for the team ahead of time and presents it)

We have a really strong senior and a few devs who grew up in the java world and are trying to learn React. 1 offshore dev that has a background in .NET. Needs someone who is strong in React to build features but also to mentor these team members.
