Role Overview

The Triage function has been created to address a worsening problem at Tes – managing the ever- increasing non-roadmap work, addressing longstanding issues that threaten revenue, and taking responsibility for our aging systems so that other engineering teams can focus on our roadmap priorities.

More than just a sideline squad, though, we offer engineers exposure to Tes’ entire product and technology stack and an environment where real change is made quickly and directly for our customers. You will be working in a team that actively encourages openness and respect for one another. You will work alongside your team using transparent processes to inspect, adapt and continuously learn and improve.

Due to the success of this new engineering function the Triage team is looking to expand so we can continue to deliver the value that our business needs over an even greater product family.

Key Responsibilities

• Work within a Scrum Team to deliver agreed functionality for Tes staff and customers
• Be open and willing to change product and technology stack dependent on sprint focus, including languages and environments outside your comfort zone
• Develop the ability to discuss tickets with non-technical stakeholders and ascertain true requirements
• Actively participate in scrum events and workshops, including sprint planning and retrospectives
