      自觉的规范意识和团队精神。随着软件项目规模越来越大，仅仅依靠个人力量已经无法完成工作，因此，现代软件企业越来越重视团队精神。一般来讲，软件企业中的程序员可以分为两种，一种是程序“游击队员”，他们可能对编程工具很熟，能力很强，把编码编得很简洁高效，但却缺乏规范和合作的观念；另一种程序员编程不一定很快，但是很规范，个人能力不一定很强，但合作意识很好。第二种人更加适合现代软件企业发展的潮流。对于基础软件工程师来说，他们在企业中的角色决定了他们必须具有良好的规范意识和团队精神。

       较强的英语阅读和写作能力。程序世界的主导语言是英文，编写程序开发文档和开发工具帮助文件离不开英文，了解业界的最新动向、阅读技术文章离不开英文，与世界各地编程高手交流、发布帮助请求同样离不开英文。作为基础软件工程师，具有一定的英语基础对于自身的学习和工作极有帮助。　　

       具有软件工程的概念。基础软件工程师处于软件企业人才金字塔的底层，是整个人才结构的基础，虽然他们从事的工作相对于系统分析师和高级程序员要单纯一些，但是他们是整个软件工程中重要的一环，因此，基础软件工程师同样要具有软件工程的概念。从项目需求分析开始到安装调试完毕，基础软件工程师都必须能清楚地理解和把握这些过程，并能胜任各种环节的具体工作，这样的能力正好符合了当前企业对基础软件工程师的全面要求。　　

      求知欲和进取心。软件业是一个不断变化和不断创新的行业，面对层出不穷的新技术，软件人才的求知欲和进取心就显得尤为重要，它是在这个激烈竞争的行业中立足的基本条件。软件工程师应具有较强的学习总结能力、需求理解能力和对IT新技术比较敏感，同时，掌握最新的IT实用技术。

Technical

Leads on fixing live incidents in production, e.g.

• Takes proactive action when an incident is reported on a system they support and resolves it satisfactorily

• Applies security patches to an operating system
• Protecting public API endpoints
• Articulates security risks/benefits when evaluating third party software
• Uses Fastly WAF to protect from malicious requests

Technical

Makes pragmatic decisions about technical trade-offs within their project, e.g.

• Knows when to stop work on a feature that has fulfilled the requirements vs. spending an extra week on making it perfect but delivering little additional value
• When pressed for time, focuses on ensuring test coverage of the most critical system functionality
• Manages technical debt, understands consequences of technical debt vs the cost of fixing it and acts accordingly
• Can explain when something is worth refactoring even when it will impact the speed of delivery

• Refactors solutions to improve clarity and maintainability

Technical

Encourages others to deliver high quality code and solutions, e.g.

• Implements tooling to enforce high standards
• Reviews pull requests fairly & critically in such away that team members produce better code

Technical

Regularly and independently debugs and fixes bugs regardless of origin, e.g.

• Picks up and debugs an urgent issue that comes in to the team, despite having not written the code originally

Technical

Builds software or services considering resilience, performance and failure modes, e.g.

• Combines multiple data sources in a feature, caching, polling etc as appropriate to cope with problems in downstream services
• Adds healthchecks to a system that detect different ways in which it can fail

Technical

Chooses the appropriate tool, technology or software for a task, e.g.

• If starting a new project, uses tools already understood by the team unless there is an agreed good reason to change

Technical

Builds and works with systems involving multiple, independent technical parts, e.g.

• Adds data sources to or optimises performance of a data pipeline
• Publishes a new origami component that uses other components
