Angular Developer : Mastercard

Interview : Coding test and F2F
Visa : USC, GC, GC EAD, H4, L2
Hybrid from day-1 ( Must be local to St Louis )
Description :
This project was the modernization of a mainframe DB2 application. It's two years old and they have converted the back end to Java Spring boot, Postgres deployed to PCF using Jenkins and cucumber. They now have moved to the front end of the modernization. They have 1 lead angular and 6 intermediates. They need to break out the front-end developers into two teams to get the front end configured so their clients can use it w/o needing Client's tech support. They are going from a two-month onboarding process to two weeks.
Technical requirements:
-Angular development (the client is looking for dedicated Angular developers, not full stack developers who have used angular)
-Lead Angular development skills (lead)
-Ability to code and teach coding without the use of libraries/write code from scratch (lead)
-Up to date on angular version 14 (lead)
-Understands design (lead).
-Experience meeting with design and product team (lead)
-Understands how to architect a product and how to explain it (lead)
Soft skill requirements:
-collaborative
-teaching ability (lead)
-strong communication (lead)
-Lead will spend 60% of time on pipelining, designing, code review, mentoring and product work, 40% of time will be spent in code
Job Description

1. Programming: Has ability to write secure code in multiple languages (ideally JavaScript, SQL); familiar with secure coding standards (e.g. OWASP, CWE, SEI CERT) and vulnerabilities
2. Development Practices: Understands and implements standard branching (e.g. Gitflow) and peer review practices; Apply tools (e.g. Sonar, Zally, Checkmarx ) and techniques to scan and measure code quality and anti-patterns as part of development activity; understands and builds test code at unit level, service level, and integration level to ensure code and functional coverage.
3. Patterns and Frameworks: Understands the use of basic design patterns (e.g. factory, adaptor, singleton, composite, observer, strategy, inversion of control); has skills in building applications using open frameworks to achieve reuse and reduce development times (e.g. Angular, typescript, DXP, others)
4. Planning: Understands requirement analysis being essential part of delivering value to our customers and partners with peers to participate in elaboration, prioritization, and effort estimation
5. Practices and Metrics: Understands Agile development processes (Scrum/Kanban/SAFe) and the delivery situations they are used for; familiar with SDLC stages starting from requirements gathering to production rollout and key decision gates in each stage; has skills to track work using Application Life Cycle management (ALM) tools (e.g. Jira, Rally).
6. Engineering Principles: Understand the basic tenets of building and running mission critical software capabilities (security, customer experience, testing, operability, simplification, service-oriented architecture)
7. Patterns and Protocols: Understand different application patterns to implement different types of business processes (e.g. APIs, event-driven-services, batch-services, web-applications, big data); understands secure network protocols to protect data in transit (e.g. IPSec, TLS, PGP, others)
8. Automation: Displays basic understanding of Client systems architecture and automation technologies to support and implement software delivery and business process automation; has ability to write code (in languages such as Java, Python, Ruby, Bash, Perl, Groovy) to build automation tasks that are repeatable and efficient
9. DevOps: Understands Continuous Integration (CI) and Delivery (CD) concepts, and capabilities to support automation, pipelines, virtualization, and containerization; Aware of configuration management using tools (e.g. Puppet, Chef) and CI/CD tools (e.g. Artifactory, Jenkins, Git, Sonar)
10. Performance and Scalability: Understands performance engineering practices, including capacity drivers, traffic modeling, infrastructure utilization, horizontal scaling, elastic computing, and last mile performance for consumers
11. Test Strategy: Follows Client testing standards via the Test Strategy; has skills to author test cases leveraging behavior driven development and customer journey concepts; understand organization of testing artifacts (e.g. test folders, sets, runs) in ALM tools and link them to automated testing code to report status of test runs
12. Testing Types: Understand functional and non-functional testing types and elaborate and estimate test efforts; understand how to build robust tests to minimize defect leakage by performing regression, performance, deployment verification, and release testing
13. Platform as a Service (PAAS) /Function as a Service (FAAS): Understands general concepts around PAAS and FAAS, and building applications that can be hosted on any standardized on-prem/public or private cloud environments
