Senior Applications Engineer

The Senior Application Engineer will report to the Director of Engineering and be a major contributor on a small tightly knit team of senior developers and scientists. He or she will be actively involved in all stages of product development for a young, privately funded startup lead by an experienced management team. We are a small company and the successful applicant will be someone who understands the needs of emerging technology firms, can easily translate between technology and business, is an active “doer” and can lead by example.

This person should be familiar with design and implementation issues dealing with data and image management in a distributed environment, and must be able to thrive in a fast-paced and flexible startup environment. The ideal candidate will have a strong customer focus, a proven track record of delivering high-quality products on schedule, and an appreciation for clean, elegant, simple code.

The ideal candidate will be energetic, positive and outgoing, and have demonstrated success in building products that integrate cutting edge technologies into market successes. This role requires someone who has hands-on experience with both infrastructure and software product development. The product suite the company develops will incorporate a blend of technologies including those built in-house and those incorporated from the open source community. We also expect this individual to build relationships with vendors, contractors and external companies for all our technology related initiatives.

The type of individual we need is energized by working with cutting edge technologies, has experience building an emerging company into a dominant market presence and enjoys the challenge of creating a successful business while working within small company constraints.
