We are seeking a detail-oriented Software Developer to join our team in a mock capacity for testing, training, and demonstration purposes. This role is designed to simulate real-world development responsibilities and workflows in order to evaluate tools, processes, and candidate capabilities in a controlled environment.

The ideal candidate will be comfortable working through sample requirements, participating in simulated sprints, and producing clean, well-documented code used strictly for evaluation and training scenarios.

• Participate in simulated Agile/Scrum ceremonies (stand-ups, sprint planning, retrospectives)

• Develop sample applications and features based on mock business requirements

• Write clean, maintainable, and well-documented code for demonstration purposes

• Perform code reviews and peer feedback exercises

• Debug and troubleshoot intentionally seeded issues in sample projects

• Collaborate with mock cross-functional teams (QA, Product, UX) in training exercises

• Create unit tests and participate in mock QA validation processes

• Document development steps and decisions for learning and audit purposes

• Follow best practices for version control, branching, and pull requests

• Contribute to process improvement discussions during training sessions

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or related field (or equivalent experience)

• Proficiency in at least one programming language (e.g., JavaScript, Python, Java, C#)

• Familiarity with version control systems such as Git

• Understanding of Agile development methodologies

• Ability to read and interpret technical requirements

• Strong problem-solving and debugging skills

• Effective written and verbal communication skills

• Experience with REST APIs and web services

• Familiarity with front-end frameworks (React, Angular, or Vue)

• Experience writing unit tests and using testing frameworks

• Exposure to CI/CD concepts

• Prior participation in code reviews

• Experience working in team-based development environments

• Git / GitHub or GitLab

• VS Code or similar IDE

• Sample ticketing system (e.g., Jira mock board)

• Docker (for environment simulation)

• Postman for API testing

• Sample cloud environment (AWS/Azure sandbox)

Success in this role will be measured by:

• Quality and clarity of code written in mock scenarios

• Ability to follow simulated development workflows

• Participation in team exercises and discussions

• Documentation quality and reasoning behind decisions

• Problem-solving approach during debugging exercises

This position exists solely within a controlled training and testing environment. No production systems or live customer data will be accessed. All projects, tools, and scenarios are fictional and used for educational and evaluation purposes only.

This mock organization is committed to providing an inclusive and respectful environment for all participants during training and evaluation exercises.
