You'll be responsible for ensuring that components are expertly architected, tested, debugged, verified, and delivered into various contexts across the IBM Enterprise, creating a productive environment for IBMers and our Business Partners.

You complete it, to find someone had submitted code for your review - which you can do easily because you have been working with them for some time and have coached them to write better code. At IBM we embrace diversity and value what individuals add to our culture. We believe highly empowered teams create the best products - so we take a group of designers, developers, and business analysts, and give them free reign on how to address problems, in a "We give you a problem, you decide how to solve it" environment.
