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.
