Role Description

Do you hate that you're losing your technical edge because of increasing managerial responsibilities? If so, join us and you will create, rebuild, and re-architect a virtually endless supply of software products. In our roles, you will join a passionate and experienced team responsible for all of the important technical decisions on every product in our extensive portfolio of enterprise software solutions. You’ll spend your time making strategic technical design decisions, such as: What are the core data structures used by the app? Why were they chosen? How are they mapped or applied to the domain of the problem? What were the tradeoffs or alternatives? What is the rationale behind critical technical dependencies or limitations this product has? Are there new and creative ways to overcome them? Can the product be broken down logically into smaller, more manageable components?
