Developer (m/f/n)

Project description

ASAP is an ingenious digital solution that will bring chemical process engineering for research-driven drug development here at Boehringer Ingelheim to the next level.
By employing user-centered data collection and powerful data visualization as well as complex computational models, our aim is to provide our lab users with a tool that seamlessly assists and guides them in their work to gain chemical process knowledge.
 

Description of working mode:
The working mode for the ASAP development is the agile development methodology. A core aspect of this methodology is that all people who are involved in a product development endeavor are self-sufficient and do not follow any specific instructions. The steps and ways how overarching goals are achieved can be defined by the consultant individually. This special combination of know-how is currently not available at Boehringer Ingelheim.

Iteratively (3 weeks timeframe) a defined scope will be commonly agreed upon which is being worked on together. The execution of the scope being worked upon will be organized by everybody individually and within the own responsibility.
Regular coordination meetings support the proper progress where the actual tasks are handled autonomously afterwards. These are the meetings:

• Sprint Planning: Every three weeks for about 2-3 hours in total at the beginning of the iteration
• Sprint Review I+II: Every three weeks for about 2 hours at the end of the iteration
• Sprint Retro: Every three weeks for about 2 hours at the end of the iteration
• Daily meeting: Daily Scrum for 15 and Post-Daily Scrum for 15 minutes
• Sprint Refinement: Individual meetings during the iteration of about 2-4 hours

Task description:
Based on the results out of the Sprint Planning the contractor will independently work on the following tasks:

• Development of features and backend services of the web application ASAP with the technologies Python, SQL, Postgres and GraphQL.
• Provide advanced technical concepts and full consultancy on possibilities and feasibility to the Product Owner and other Developers.
• Creation of the related documentation of the developed backend parts. The documents will be provided to Boehringer Ingelheim for review. 
• Writing of automated tests (unit tests and end-to-end tests) for features and services in the application ASAP on predefined requirements according to Sprint Backlog.
• Operate and deploy backend components with Jenkins on Openshift/Kubernetes platform
