Lead Configuration Developer

As the Lead Configuration Developer at Liberty Blume, your responsibilities include designing, configuring, and implementing low/no code solutions across various SaaS platforms, primarily focusing on ShareDo. You'll collaborate with teams to enhance platform functionality, maintain technical oversight, troubleshoot issues, and guide a team of developers while adhering to best practices in software development.

To be considered for the Lead Configuration Developer role at Liberty Blume, you should possess significant experience with JavaScript, configuration in low-code environments, and a strong understanding of HTML5, CSS3, and responsive design principles. Experience with team leadership, workflow modeling, and API integration are also essential for success in this role.

Liberty Blume provides a hybrid working model for the Lead Configuration Developer role, allowing you to work from the office at least two days a week, blending flexibility with the collaborative environment that comes from working onsite with your team.

In your role as Lead Configuration Developer at Liberty Blume, familiarity with tools and technologies like ShareDo, JavaScript (ES6+), Knockout.js, Bootstrap for web design, and version control systems, particularly Git, will be crucial for the successful execution of your responsibilities.

Liberty Blume is committed to the professional development of its employees, offering access to an online learning platform that encourages continual growth. As a Lead Configuration Developer, you'll also have the opportunity to mentor junior developers and drive initiatives that foster team collaboration and improvement.

When configuring workflows in ShareDo, I would start by gathering detailed business requirements from stakeholders. Then, I'd map out existing processes and identify automation opportunities. Using ShareDo's tools, I'd configure workflows to align with those processes, ensuring that they are optimized for user experience and functionality.

In my previous roles, I successfully integrated various APIs by leveraging RESTful services to enhance platform capabilities. For instance, I used third-party APIs to enrich data, implemented WebHooks for real-time updates, and ensured seamless data synchronization across systems, which significantly improved workflow efficiency.

I stay updated with the latest advancements in technology relevant to development by participating in webinars, attending industry conferences, and following relevant tech blogs and forums. I also invest time in hands-on experimentation with new frameworks and tools to internalize my learning.

I have experience mentoring junior developers by providing regular feedback, conducting code reviews, and organizing knowledge-sharing sessions. Fostering a collaborative environment is essential, so I encourage open communication and team brainstorming to enhance productivity and morale.

To optimize application performance, I would start by assessing load times and identifying performance bottlenecks. Implementing best practices such as code splitting, lazy loading, and efficient database queries would be my focus. Additionally, I would monitor performance metrics routinely to make continuous improvements.

One significant challenge I faced was aligning the low-code solutions with business requirements. To overcome this, I engaged with stakeholders to fine-tune features and gather continuous feedback during the development process, ensuring the final product met their needs while adhering to low-code constraints.

I prioritize development tasks by collaborating with stakeholders to understand business needs and urgency. I use agile methodologies to break down projects into manageable tasks, leveraging sprint planning sessions to assess team capacity and focus on delivering high-value features first.

In a previous role, I led a project to implement a ShareDo configuration that automated various client workflows. This effort reduced manual processing time by 30%, significantly increased task efficiency, and enhanced client satisfaction through faster response times.

When troubleshooting complex technical issues, I employ a systematic approach. I start by replicating the issue, analyzing logs, and utilizing debugging tools. Collaboration with team members for fresh perspectives, and documenting solutions helps in resolving problems more effectively.

To advocate for best practices in software development, I would initiate coding standards documents, conduct regular code reviews, and promote practices like unit testing and CI/CD. I would also lead by example, ensuring that I apply these standards in my work to cultivate a culture of quality within the team.
