My company, AppAssure Software, are looking for another senior level developer to join our development team. AppAssure is a funded startup with consistent revenue growth building cutting-edge Windows software products used by organizations of all sizes to protect their most mission-critical IT assets. The development team is lean and results-oriented. We’re looking to add another senior level, well-rounded generalist with impeccable software engineering skills.

Our development team is laid back, professional, easy to work with, and gets things done. If you are the same way, we’d like to talk to you.

Experience with soup-to-nuts product lifecycle is important, and sharp C++ skills will come in very handy. Mastery of C# and .NET is also very important, and C++/CLI would be a major bonus.

More important than language experience is character. We’re a small, young company, with requirements changes and new challenges coming through the door all the time. Our developers are generalists, one day working on socket code, the next day building WinForms GUIs, and the next implementing a VMDK reader. If you want to own a piece of code and live there day in and day out, AppAssure is not the place for you.

If that sounds like a fast-paced environment, that’s because it is. Nonetheless, we’re not a shop where thousand-line function bodies and incoherent object models are acceptable as long as they solve the immediate problem; we maintain our agility in part through a disciplined approach to software engineering, complete with coding standards, code reviews, and unit testing.

So, are you:

• Hard-working?
• A gifted software engineer?
• Able to work well in a team?
• Able to work well individually?
• Passionate about software development?
• Acutely attentive to detail?
• Interested in a variety of programming challenges?
• Weary of bureaucracy and politics?
• Tired of getting dressed up for work every day?
• Willing to commute to Reston, Virginia?
• Authorized to work in the United States?

If so, then we’d love for you to get in touch with us. We offer very competitive compensation; a relaxed, laid-back work environment; the freedom and agility of a startup company; and the chance to work on a number of challenging tasks individually and in teams.
