Job Purpose:
Our engineers are responsible for the technical aspects of designing, implementing and maintaining oneZero Financial software products and features, including both commercial products and internal tools.
Duties:
As part of a small international team of experienced developers you will be expected to help develop, enhance, and maintain every aspect of the company’s technology suite. Your software will be held to a very high standard of efficiency, reliability, clarity, and usability by the development team and our customers.
You will write software primarily in C++ with a focus on performance and reliability; you may use modern language features so long as they don’t hurt performance or readability. Occasionally you will need to develop and debug in C# and Typescript/JavaScript.
Frequently you will be expected to collaborate with the business, design, operations, and QA teams as needed to refine product designs and advise on technical design.
As needed, you will assist the operations team to efficiently diagnose and resolve issues that occur in production (e.g. forensic log and crash dump analysis, hotfix build generation).
Other duties as assigned.
Requirements:
Significant and demonstrably strong C++ development experience.
Able to reliably estimate and complete assignments with a minimum of oversight, but able to take direction as necessary.
A positive, team-oriented attitude. Our team has exceptional productivity and high employee morale because we respect one another and work well together.
Must have legal authorization to work in the United States.
The salary range for this role is $150,000 to $200,000, depending on relevant experience.
