WHY DEPT®?

We are pioneers at heart.

• 8+ years experience working in production applications written in Java and Spring Boot
• Ariba Developer Portal: application registration, OAuth flows, and API key/token management

• Proficient in product lifecycle management, from ideation to launch and ongoing enhancements
• Strong market research and analysis skills

• Identify and remediate security vulnerabilities across the MySQL database layer
• Perform database upgrades and apply compliance hardening measures

• Validate datasets loaded into each technology to confirm completeness, accuracy, and structural integrity relative to source data in Databricks and CDS
• Verify benchmark query outputs across technologies — confirm that the same logical query against the same underlying data produces consistent, correct results regardless of which system executes it

• Deliver High-Impact Creative: Concept and design best-in-class digital creative across social, and video, with a strong focus on visual storytelling and performance.
• Mentor & Lead: Act as a direct supervisor and mentor to junior and mid-level Art Directors and Designers. Provide clear, constructive feedback to creatives across disciplines (for example, to copy) to elevate the team's output and foster professional growth.

• Lead the design and implementation of test strategies and plans
• Mentor and guide mid-level and junior QA engineers

• Remediate Broken Middleware: Re-architect and fix broken API paths, custom service integrations, and data calls causing timeouts, latency, or outages.
• Build Out-of-Process Extensions: Shift custom system extensions from brittle codebase overrides to modern, serverless, out-of-process architectures.

• Optimize Profile & Identity Stitching: Audit and optimize identity namespace configurations, resolve database collisions, and re-design pipeline rules to ensure high-accuracy profile matching.
• Rationalize Data Ingestion: Optimize multi-system data schemas, refine bulk file-ingestion flows, and construct data-minimization scripts to prevent over-ingestion and lower compute load.

• Perform Code & Performance Audits: Execute deep frontend code reviews and implement targeted speed optimizations (e.g., page-load speeds, edge routing configurations, script minimization).
• Deliver Cloud Migrations: Lead hands-on technical migration tasks to transition legacy, on-prem, or managed web environments to modern cloud-native CMS architectures.

• Optimize Telemetry & SDKs: Audit and clean up double-tracked SDK implementations, decommission legacy tracking tags, and configure clean client-side data collection containers.
• Configure Event Forwarding: Configure robust server-side event forwarding mechanisms to securely route web/app behavioral telemetry into downstream customer profile platforms.

• Design, develop, and maintain production Rust applications, including backend services, APIs, and system-level components
• Write and optimize complex SQL queries for performance and correctness at scale

• Develop and deploy production-grade data pipelines using modern orchestration tools like Airflow or dbt.
• Optimize data models for performance and cost-efficiency within cloud environments.

• Lead communications planning across assigned accounts — developing audience-first strategies that define the role of each channel, the logic of message sequencing, and the measurable outcomes each phase of a plan is designed to drive. Your comms plans have a point of view. They're not channel checklists.

• Conceptualize, design, and create high-quality motion graphics, UI motion, animated sequences, and visual effects for video and digital content.
• Develop storyboards, style frames, and mood boards to communicate visual ideas.

• Closely collaborate with multidisciplinary teams of talented people.
• Set the overarching visual strategy and design principles that guide the entire creative department across all touchpoints (digital, brand, and product).

• Closely collaborate with multidisciplinary teams of talented people.
• Lead and mentor the creative team, fostering a collaborative, optimistic, and proactive culture.

• Act as Lead Consultant on customer engagements that may involve multiple project teams from our client and customer organizations
• Clearly understand and communicate customer requirements and integration points in the context of the statement of work.
