Job Responsibilities:

Perform Planning

• Identify and establish objectives for self and team.


• Work on objectives or goals within timeline.


• Consider all reasonable factors, impediments and obstacles.


• Identify potential alternative strategies and refactor approach for maximum benefit within the shortest possible time.

Implementation - Ensure the Solution is Functionally Complete

• Deliver a solution which covers all the agreed specified tasks and user objectives.


• Deliver a correct solution which provides the correct results with the needed degree of precision.


• Ensure checked in code is reviewed to ensure standards are met.

Implementation – Ensure the Solution is Reliable

• Ensure the solution performs appropriately under agreed conditions for extended periods of time without the need for intervention (despite potential attacks)


• Ensure all steps are taken to reduce the occurrence of faults due to misunderstood requirements, design errors, and implementation errors.


• Ensure the solution is robust and remains continually available.


• Respond to outages and failures when and where needed.


• Improve fault tolerance even when operational conditions are not optimal.


• Ensure complete data recoverability so that data may be recovered, and the desired state of the solution can be re-established (despite potential attacks).


• Ensure the solution is maintainable, and actively seek methods to reduce down-time.
  Ensure the solution is durable so that as user volumes and requirements change the solution can evolve over the long term


• Ensure the solution simplifies support and maintenance support through traceability, and effective error messaging.


• Ensure over time, the solution becomes more mature where the interval between the interventions to remain operational become less frequent.


• Ensure in the event of a failure reduce effective downtime is to the minimum possible.

Implementation – Ensure the Solution has Effective Security

• Ensure the solution is secure, and confidential by protecting all information and data (also data transmission).


• Ensure persons or other solutions have the degree of access appropriate to their level of authorization and types.


• Ensure the solution has high integrity where the solution prevents unauthorised access to, modification of computer programs, data, or settings.


• Ensure the solution has a high degree of survivability despite third-Party interventions (attacks, human errors, hardware or software faults).


• Employ logs and records so that actions and events can be proven to have taken place and cannot be disputed/ repudiated later.


• Ensure wherever possible actions can be traced uniquely to the entity which performed it.


• Ensure wherever possible the identify of an entity can be proved to be the correct one.


• Implementation - Ensure the Solution is Maintainable


• Ensure the solution and its relevant code base supports ease of modification for future maintainers.


• Ensure the use of appropriate standards and methods.


• Ensure where possible (without affecting performance/security) the solution caters for maintenance by support teams rather than developers.


• Ensure modularity where the solution consists of discrete components so that a change in one component has minimal impact on other components.


• Ensure relevant documentation is provided to support teams to reduce development support burden.


• Apply a strategy of reusability so an asset can be used in more than one solution or in building other assets.


• Where possible provide a mechanism for the solution to analyse its own faults and provide reports prior to a critical failure.


• Develop the solution in a manner which supports modification for future developers thereby reducing the numbers of defects or negatively affecting system quality.

Verify Deployed Solutions

• Ensure the solution is delivered completely and with the additional assets which are required to make installation/deployment as seamless and easy as possible.


• Ensure the adaptable solution delivered is appropriate for different or evolving, software or other operational usage environments.

Respond to Outages & Failures

• Provide proactive support to Peers, Testing, Dev Support and Operational teams so number of escalations to the development team is reduced, thereby maximising development time.


• Provide support to the Dev Support when required during operational events and create or assist with the creation of SOP’s.


• Be available to handle emergency outages and failures for your or your teams’ solutions.
  Perform trouble shooting and effectively resolve issues to increase solution stability and reduce intervention required over time.


• Recommend and execute approved improvements to development methods and solutions.


• Provide quick resolutions to app/system issues, driving stability, efficiency and effectiveness.


• solutions which have completed development and are in the operations phase.


• Develop and maintain technical support documentation.


• Assess risk and impact of production issues/changes and take appropriate steps to mitigate risk.

Direct 3rd Party Development Partners

• When required supply appropriate information, domain knowledge and access to partners.


• Provide timely, relevant and constructive feedback to assist the partner to achieve success.


• Take corrective action when deviation from the plan is observed.


• Take all appropriate steps to ensure organisational success.


• Engages in cross-functional collaboration and problem solving whilst encourages a culture of inclusivity.


• Actively drives a culture of versatility and adaptability by modelling and encouraging team members to support each other not only within the department, but within BET Software as a whole.


• Shows up in an authentic manner and leverages off the team’s diversity to achieve deliverables.Views


• Challenges as opportunities to expand on their knowledge base as well as encourages junior team members to do the same and takes a creative approach to overcoming the challenges.

At least 3-5 years’ experience within a development environment is advantageous.
2 - 5 years database experience 3 -5 years server/client- side languages are advantageous.
Good written and verbal communication skills.
Strong attention to detail.
