Are you the person on your team who is always looking for the right abstractions to express the solution? Do you enjoy empowering your expert customers to be directly involved in the software creation process? Have you ever created an API, tool, or domain-specific language that increased productivity by more than 100%? Do you believe that code generation can greatly increase productivity and quality? Have you proven it? If so, we are looking for someone like you to join our team.

We are building the world’s leading language workbench technology. We are now ready to unleash this technology on the world by creating new and exciting domain-specific workbenches for customers with high-value problems that no one else can solve. These workbenches speak the customer’s language—people use their own textual and visual notations to describe their business knowledge in a structured language that can be transformed into a wide variety of software applications and other products. We have projects right now in healthcare, manufacturing, and defense industries and we will continue expanding in the future.

You should have exceptional domain analysis, software design, and coding skills and a strong history of achievement building development tools or desktop software. A BS degree in Computer Science is required. An advanced degree in Computer Science or a related field is desirable. Fluency in C# and .NET is desirable.

You should be excited at the prospect of being able to help shape our product and participate in making key decisions, but also be comfortable dealing with uncertainty and rapid change. If you are bright, highly competent, love programming, willing to take risks, and enjoy having fun working together in a team, you will fit right in.

Your specific background, number of years in the industry or specific technology stacks you master, are less important. You should have exceptional coding skills and a strong history of achievement in building desktop, systems or web software. Fluency in C# and .NET is desirable. A BS degree in Computer Science is required. An advanced degree in Computer Science or a related field is desirable.
