Software Engineer Job Description

Beast Code is transforming the software industry in Northwest Florida. As our project pipeline continues to grow, we’re looking to add software engineers who are passionate about programming and eager to create applications that break the mold and set new standards.

Beast Code fosters a collaborative work environment. No, we don’t need you to be a member of the Borg collective (Google Star Trek). In fact, we encourage thinking outside the box. But we do prefer our SEs to play well with others and thrive as part of a team of developers, designers, product owners, scrum masters and other stakeholders.

Our projects run the gamut from game-based learning programs for defense contracts to 3D model solutions for commercial clients. That means there’s always engaging work to do as the brilliant minds behind creating and optimizing great code.

Design, develop, and test software applications throughout the entire lifecycle using standard frameworks and source control tools. They break down requirements from interactive mockups, wireframes, technical specifications, bug reports, or requests from other teams.

SEs are responsible for the scalability and maintainability of the codebase, and for identifying and adopting new technology and frameworks.

Indirectly, SEs assist the rest of the team by ensuring that QA has the tools necessary to test the application; ensuring design is creating mockups and wireframes that are technically sound; and the product owner has a reasonable understanding of the technical state of the product.

SEs are familiar with technologies such as HTML 5, CSS 3, JavaScript/Typescript, Vue, Vite/Webpack, Python, C# .NET, or SQL.

Requires a bachelor's degree or equivalent and typically reports to a supervisor or manager.

If you’re looking to be a part of something special, Beast Code is the place to be an SE. We are proud to be recognized by Great Place to Work and FORTUNE Magazine as one of the 50 Best Small Workplaces. We’ve also been honored with 2019 The Enterprise Florida Entrepreneur and Job Growth Award. Hey, it’s not bragging if you can back it up.

Come make a difference and build Silicon Beach with us!
