Software Developers at IBM can work in a variety of areas.  As such, you might be involved in any of these specialties:

• Backend, Server Systems, or Cloud-Based Development – Design and code servers, services, applications and databases that are reusable, scalable and meet critical architecture goals.  Create Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) that are clean, well-documented, and easy to use.  Create and configure Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS) and Software as a Service (SaaS) applications.  Design and implement large scale systems and Service Oriented Architectures (SOA) that enable continuous delivery.
• Client-Facing Assistance and Solution Development – Own the customer experience by solving complex business problems for the world's leading clients.  Work directly with the customer to understand and troubleshoot issues, collect data, elicit detailed requirements, then design and implement innovative solutions across multiple industries and sectors, as well as governments and agencies.
• Automation Development and Testing – Enable continuous deployment and availability by designing, developing and creating automated frameworks, processes and test cases based on functional and non-functional requirements.  Build and manage testing environments, assisting in debugging application issues.
• Firmware Development – Work with industry experts to design, develop and test fast and efficient software that directly manages and controls the hardware.  Firmware may exist anywhere in a computing system from the central computing complex to management consoles, power supplies, and I/O adapters.
• Front End Development – Create high-quality web and mobile apps containing rich content and user interface components by working closely with user experience designers to take wireframes and mockups from conception to implementation.  Identify specific issues in the user interface, recommending and implementing solutions that influence and improve the design of products that provide a delightful user experience along with high performance, security, quality, and stability. 
• Full Stack Development – Work across the entire system architecture, from backend to front end, to design, develop, and support high quality and scalable products.  Create everything from mockups and UI components to algorithms and data structures as you deliver a complete minimally viable product.

• You’ll work in an Agile, collaborative environment to understand requirements, design, code and test innovative applications, and support those applications for our highly valued customers. 
• You’ll employ IBM’s Design Thinking to create products that provide a great user experience along with high performance, security, quality, and stability. 
• You’ll work with a variety of relational databases (SQL, Postgres, DB2, MongoDB), operating systems (Linux, Windows, iOS, Android), and modern UI frameworks (Backbone.js, AngularJS, React, Ember.js, Bootstrap, Node.js, and JQuery).

• You are highly motivated and have a passion for creating and supporting great products. 
• You thrive on collaboration, working side by side with people of all backgrounds and disciplines, and you have very strong verbal and written communication skills.
