Nature and Scope
This is the journey level within the Enterprise Technical Developer class series. Positions within this classification will demonstrate working knowledge in all of the specialty areas independently with minimal oversight. Under general supervision, positions within this class perform difficult and more complex work than the entry level Enterprise Technical Developer as determined by the Supervisor. This class is distinguished from the Senior Enterprise Technical Developer in that the latter requires a higher level of complexity, difficulty and level of tasks assigned, broader decision-making authority, advanced technical knowledge, short and long-term planning responsibility, major project management responsibility and demonstrated mastery in two or more specialty areas. Advancement to Senior Enterprise Technical Developer is done through a competitive process.
