Lead Application UI Developer in Boston

Software as a Service (SaaS) basis. As such, the
product,

which is a complex, internet-enabled, transactional application, is

hosted on a multi-tenant architecture capable of supporting thousands of

concurrent users.



Responsibilities:



We have been successful delivering a large and complex feature set with

a very small team because the team is experienced, tightly-knit, and

talented. We are looking to expand our development capabilities by

hiring a key resource to own the development of complex application user

interfaces that are powerful yet intuitive.



We are about to begin migrating our application from Windows forms and

Web 2.0/AJAX technologies to Microsoft Silverlight, and we will

substantially redesign it in the process. As we do, we will push way

beyond the typical text- and numbers-centric tag/value pair interfaces

that many dry business applications possess. Instead, we will be

implementing a much richer, more dynamic interface that exploits drag

and drop, animation, graphics, and configurability to their fullest in

pursuit of satisfying the business users' needs.



This person will be responsible for technical design, implementation,

support, and enhancement of interfaces throughout the entire product

lifecycle. Because we are a small, entrepreneurial organization, our GUI

developer would also have the opportunity to contribute in other areas

as the interests of the developer and the needs of the organization

dictate.



Technologies and Skills:



Our ideal candidate will be well versed in or capable of learning the

following technologies and skills (in descending order of importance):



* Microsoft Silverlight

* Web 2.0, AJAX, .NET ASPX, C#

* Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) services

* Basic understanding of relational databases



In addition, our ideal candidate must:



* Be absolutely passionate about building clean, intuitive, and

powerful interfaces that serve the needs of business users

* Possess excellent problem solving, logical thinking, and math

skills

* Be able to work independently with little direction yet integrate

well into a larger team

* Be able to learn new technologies and new concepts quickly

* Be comfortable interfacing with product management, business

analysis, QA, and production support teams and directly with end users

* Possess excellent communication and interpersonal skills

* Be able to accurately estimate effort and deliver to deadlines

* Practice disciplined software development practices

* Understand the software development lifecycle



Finally, experience with the following types of systems, industries, and

environments are a plus:



* Experience in the professional services industry, especially

delivering systems integration projects

* Experience building user interfaces for data-intensive

transactional or financial systems, especially medium- to

enterprise-level systems

* Experience supporting complex systems in production environments



Qualifications:



* BS or MS in computer science, engineering, or math

* 5-7 years' experience in software development
