Remote Computer Science information

What are remote computer science jobs?

Remote computer science jobs include a wide variety of roles focused on the use and analysis of computers and networks, including security specialists, network administrators, and software programmers. In these roles, you may develop hardware or software, control user accounts and permissions, analyze security procedures, manage confidential information, order repairs and replacements, manage inventory levels, conduct penetration tests, or manage a full development cycle for new software. Remote computer science jobs frequently use databases, private networks, intrusion detection systems, and remote conferencing software to help coordinate jobs. This is something of a catch-all term for computer-based positions, so if you are looking for a specific role, such as a remote programmer or remote computer engineer, you may need to narrow your search terminology.

How do remote computer science professionals typically collaborate with their teams to ensure project success?

Remote computer science professionals usually rely on a mix of communication and project management tools—such as Slack, Zoom, GitHub, and Jira—to collaborate effectively with their teams. Regular virtual meetings, code reviews, and shared documentation help maintain alignment and transparency. While working remotely offers flexibility, it can also require proactive communication and self-management to avoid misunderstandings and stay on track with deliverables. Many teams adopt Agile methodologies to structure their work and foster collaboration, regardless of physical location.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a remote computer science professional?

To thrive as a Remote Computer Science professional, you need strong programming skills, problem-solving abilities, and a relevant degree or equivalent experience in computer science or software engineering. Proficiency with coding languages (such as Python, Java, or C++), version control systems like Git, and remote collaboration tools (e.g., Slack, Jira, Zoom) is essential. Excellent communication, self-motivation, and time management are vital soft skills for working independently and with distributed teams. These skills and qualities enable efficient development, seamless teamwork, and successful project delivery in a remote environment.

What are remote computer science jobs?

Remote computer science jobs are positions that involve the application of computer science principles—such as programming, software development, data analysis, and cybersecurity—that can be performed from any location with internet access. These roles often include software engineer, web developer, data scientist, system administrator, and more. Remote computer science professionals collaborate with teams virtually, using digital communication and project management tools. This flexibility allows employees to work from home or anywhere in the world, offering a better work-life balance and access to global job opportunities.

Job description

Position: Software Development Engineer

Location: Remote

Duration: Long term contract

Type: Only W2 (No C2C/1099)

Notes from Client Manager:

The Amazon Selection & Catalog Systems (ASCS) team needs a Software Development Engineer (do not confuse this with a “Java Developer”) to spearhead the consolidation and retirement of legacy services. This initiative aims to reduce operational complexity and modernize our architecture. This team focuses on a critical aspect of Amazon's Catalogue. The catalogue team catalogs customers' orders and products for the process management system. Currently, a new system is being built in Java to replace the old system, which is in Perl and can't support the increasing traffic.

The task involves transitioning to the new system, a global project requiring engineers with experience in large distributed systems. Everyone will play a hands-on role in this project.

Candidates need experience in leading teams and contributing to software architecture. Knowledge of Perl will be helpful as it involves debugging legacy Perl code and migrating to Java for the platform and endpoints that are already created. The Amazon Software Development Engineer (SDE) will design, and TEKsystems SDE 3’s will customize the API designs to fit each workstream. Experience in Cloud Services and distributed systems is critical for success in this role.

This project isn't about creating new APIs; it's primarily about migrating clients to already established strategic endpoints. The challenge lies in migrating from service A to service B. Some services have as few as four, and some have as many as twelve active services that need to be migrated. This person will also need to maintain the code standard and ensure the quality of the software before it's pushed for production release.

Each of the three workstreams will have independent daily standups, and there will be internal Amazon support from engineers to remove roadblocks. The ability to understand a milestone and work backwards to deliver the end result is also essential because they will be guiding SDE 2’s as well as contributing to the development of the workstreams.

Must have:

  • Java
  • Python
  • Software development
  • Aws
  • Agile
  • Linux
  • Cloud
  • Microservices
  • Software engineering
  • Development
  • Springboot
  • Spring

Top Skills:

  • 8+ years of Building and designing software and API migration experience within Java. they really need to be flexible with tooling because Amazon has an internal tool they are using that is similar to Java that they are migrating to. (Guice is preferred but if they have Guice and Spring) and working knowledge of PERL.
  • 6+ years of Work on highly distributed systems from enterprise level companies
  • 4 + years of CI/CD environments from a cloud environment (EC2, S3 etc…)
  • Computer Science degree is required.

Secondary Skills:

  • Javascript
  • React
  • Angular
  • React.js
  • Job Description

Basic Qualifications

  • Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science or related field,
  • Computer Science fundamentals in OO design, data structures and algorithm design
  • 6+ year relevant work experience in building and managing complex systems in production.
  • 6+ or more years’ experience in software development, proficient in Java (Guice and Spring) and working experience in PERL.
  • Understanding of CI/CD, Git based version control, agile scrum methodologies.
  • Experience with testing, profiling, debugging, and optimizing large scale systems.
  • Ability to learn and adapt quickly to the engineering practices in the team.
  • Excellent team player. Ability to estimate, plan, track and deliver individual tasks on time.
  • Strong communication skills both verbal and written.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Strong communication skills both verbal and written.
  • Strong, object-oriented design and coding skills (Perl and Java preferably on a UNIX or Linux platform)
  • Experience in building test harness and test infrastructure.
  • Experience with distributed (multi-tiered) systems architecture, algorithms, and relational database,
  • Ability to refactor programs effectively and evaluate optimization opportunities from system performance and risks perspective.
  • Ability to effectively articulate technical challenges, risks, tradeoffs and solutions
