This is a unique and exciting opportunity for you to join a small team in an established (and profitable) company at the early stages of developing a state-of-the-art platform for financial transaction processing (the next generation of a successful existing product). You’ll be developing in full-stack mode with Java, C#/.NET Core, and PostgreSQL on Linux on the server side; and C# on Windows and JavaScript in the browser on the client side. (You'll also get to play with Docker, Kubernetes, and Kafka.) You’ll be helping to analyze, design, develop, test, and support complex application software as you work directly with the Senior Director of Software Development. You’ll also have the opportunity to hire, oversee, and mentor junior developers. We work out of a beautiful office building in the heart of Silicon Beach in the Los Angeles area, have additional offices in India and the Philippines (although travel requirements will be limited), and offer full benefits including flex hours. 

Your responsibilities will include:

• Being a key member of a small but strong team working on the company’s core applications.
• Understanding and enforcing all parts of the development lifecycle; including design, development, documentation, and testing.
• Digging deep into technical details to troubleshoot, optimize, and design and implement innovative software solutions.
• Solving tough technical challenges in a startup-like atmosphere with a highly collaborative team.
• Proactively eliminating roadblocks and successfully handling multiple competing priorities in a fast-paced environment.
• Participating in design reviews to ensure a given release does not compromise the integrity or quality of the product.

Required qualifications and skills:

• Master’s Degree or Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science or related field and 5+ years relevant work experience OR 10+ years relevant work experience (including 3+ years solid work experience in either Java or C#/.NET).
• Server-side expertise in modern Java (we’ll be releasing with Java 10) on Linux, including experience with RESTful APIs and sockets.
• Client-side expertise in C#/.NET, WinForms, and WPF. Should be able to create, document, troubleshoot and maintain desktop applications and services on Windows with C# using Visual Studio (we use C# 7.x, .NET 4.5.2/4.7.x/Core, and VS 2017 w/Resharper).
• Web development skills utilizing JavaScript, HTML 5, and CSS 3 (and preferably React). 
• Strong knowledge of and experience with SQL, ideally PostgreSQL. Ability to build instances and database objects including the creation of tables, indexes, views, and stored procedures. Ability to access and manipulate databases programmatically using C# and Java.
• Strong understanding of and experience with various methods for IPC.
• Experience with and understanding of parallel programming/concurrency.
• Familiarity and experience with SCCS and best practices, preferably with Git.
• Devotion to quality, supportability, extensibility, and simple design.
• Proven experience working with multiple stakeholders including but not limited to business leaders and customers along with marketing, development, quality assurance, and documentation teams.
• Experience working with Agile methodologies.
• Strong verbal, written, communication, and time management skills.
• Be self-driven and able to deliver high quality results in a timely fashion. (Obviously from these requirements, the ability to multitask is essential!)
• Have a creative approach to problem-solving and be resourceful and tenacious enough to find a solution when nothing seems to work.
• Passion and pride for building a great user experience.
• Strong leadership and the ability to mentor other engineers.

Desired qualifications and skills (pluses):

• Experience with TDD/BDD and unit testing.
• Ability to maintain, install, troubleshoot, and configure Linux (Ubuntu).
• Familiarity with Telerik’s DevCraft UI suite.
• Experience with ASP.NET Core
• Knowledge of the functional programming paradigm, especially applied to Java and C#.
• Experience with Docker and Kubernetes.
• Experience with accounting systems.
