The Role
We (Fidelity Fund and Investment Operations Technology) are looking for a Principal Software Engineer to join one of our agile development squads to provide software engineering excellence to our suite of corporate actions applications.

You live our design and development methodologies, understand our business, and are on a continued pursuit to build empathy for our customers.

- Be a team member. Listen a lot. Ask questions to seek clarity. Take the floor when you have information, experience, or perspective to share. Communicate impediments as they arise.
- A Scrum team collectively delivers on their sprint goals and commitments. All team members are expected to always be intimately familiar with, and working towards delivery of those commitments, never against.
- In partnership with Product Management, actively seek to gain a deeper understanding of the business context under which your team operates. Leverage this understanding to present feature recommendation to your Product Owner.
- In partnership with Design, continue to build empathy for the primary, as well as secondary, personas your vertical supports. Leverage this empathy to recommend small design changes to your Designer.
- Complete modifications, refactoring, and bug fixes to existing functionality without the need for oversight.
