Software Engineer at Bridgestone South Africa (Pty) Ltd

Who are you?

You will make a successful start in the Webfleet Solutions product engineering organization if you have a passion for software engineering, building products, and tweaking systems.

The most important qualification that will make you successful in the longer term is to have a "getting things done" attitude. Whether it is to implement a new feature, fix a bug in production, extract some data and deliver it to customer support, change system configurations, solve problems together with 3rd parties and system partners, you tackle the problem and resolve it.

Also, you will need to have as many as possible of the below:

• A degree in computer science, a related field, or equivalent experience;
• Good communication skills, holistic and systemic thinking, goal-oriented, quality-focused, versatile problem-solving skills, an open mind as well as at least three years of experience in commercial software development;
• Strong OOP skills and experience in designing and writing software with exceptional care for scalability, maintainability, and security
• Familiar with asynchronous and event-based architectures
• Fluency in English (written and spoken);
• A desire to work as part of an international organization and cooperate with other software engineers, system engineers, architects, product owners, and external partners across multiple locations;

What can you expect?

• You will join an international team of technically highly skilled and engaged engineers.
• You will embark on an adventure in product engineering within a growing and changing business. Our product and engineering teams are based in five different European locations, and our standard business language is English.
• Our engineering culture is built upon the values of the agile manifesto. We strive to enable our teams to become highly productive and autonomous and empower individuals to become their own best selves.
• For us, engineering has a lot to do with ingenuity. We see engineers as creative problem solvers who enjoy going full-cycle: from problem definition through problem-solving and implementation to solution validation and delivery to users.
• We value attitudes such as proactive problem solving, open-mindedness, a good balance of long-term and short-term thinking, friendly professionalism, walking the talk, taking ownership, and leading your topic or domain.
• We value steady professionals who are looking to build their careers with us. We prefer to develop and promote our leaders from within, creating various opportunities for professional development and career advancement. We provide a technical and a more organizational career track and opportunities to try both if you are not sure.
• Expect projects and topics you work on to change fast at times. Expect to be fully responsible for your work and products. This includes all functional and non-functional aspects. Our product engineering teams perform necessary maintenance and technology upgrades for their products and components and are expected to contribute to our scalability and technology roadmap.
