What Would Your Job Be Like?
As part of the backend/server team, you will design, implement and maintain components for MyQ neXt printing solution we are building. MyQ neXt is a distributed system consisting of a clustered micro-service based server, apps running inside the printing devices, desktop clients, and a mobile app.
As a C#/C++ developer you are going to work on some of the components listed below, and you will own at least one:
· Print Server: Main print server running in a containerized environment. It handles user authentication, print job spooling and parsing, job release to printers, and many other tasks.
· Gateway: MITM component that sits between printers and the Print Server. It offloads some of the heavier processing from the Print Server.
· Document Processor: Server application that uses Tesseract to perform OCR and other processing on scanned documents.
· License and Telemetry Servers: The License Server is a small component that provides license information. It also collects business telemetry from running instances and forwards it to the Telemetry Server, which processes the data and allows it to be queried.
The team is 10 people small, and we split into interest guilds within the ~50 people R&D. You will be able to shape the product alongside the CTO, the CPO, and the team.
What You Offer
· Fluent inmodern C# and C++. You have shipped services to production and know how to keep them running.
· You have worked on distributed systems, dealt with multi-threaded applications, and understand messaging, locking, and know how to design for them.
· You understand security concepts, both from code and user workflow perspectives, and OWASP Top 10 is not just a buzzword for you.
· Comfortable with SQL and relational databases.
· Containerized applications are a norm for you.
