Tech Lead

Programming: Can write secure code in three or more languages (e.g. C, C+, C#, Java, JavaScript, COBOL, SQL); familiar with secure coding standards (e.g. OWASP, CWE, SEI CERT) and vulnerabilities Development Practices: Understands and implements standard branching (e.g., Gitflow) and peer review practices; applies 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 the unit, service, and integration levels to ensure code and functional coverage.

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. Spring Boot, Steeltoe, Angular, DXP, others) 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 Practices and Metrics: Understands different SDLC practices (Waterfall/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). Engineering Principles: Understand the basic tenets of building and running mission critical software capabilities (security, customer experience, testing, operability, simplification, service oriented architecture) 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); understand secure network protocols to protect data in transit (e.g. IPSec, TLS, PGP, others) Automation: Displays basic understanding of MasterCard systems architecture and automation technologies to support and implement software delivery and business process automation; can write code (in languages such as Java, Python, Ruby, Bash, Perl, Groovy) to build automation tasks that are repeatable and efficient 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) Performance and Scalability: Understands performance engineering practices, including capacity drivers, traffic modeling, infrastructure utilization, horizontal scaling, elastic computing, and last mile performance for consumers Test Strategy:

Follows Mastercard testing standards via the Test Strategy; has skills to author test cases leveraging behavior driven development and customer journey concepts; understands the organization of testing artifacts (e.g. test folders, sets, runs) in ALM tools and links them to automated testing code to report status of test runs 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 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
