Entry/Mid-level Software Developer

Job Overview:

So you want to develop cool stuff.  You’re smart--really smart—and you are intelligent enough to know that you don’t want the beginning of your career to be working for a company that develops mediocre software that only a technical person can understand.
 
Seriously, aren’t software companies supposed to be making lives easier by creating applications that the people who buy it can actually use?  We’re pretty sure you don’t want you’re the start of your programming career to be developing shelf-ware.  If you’re fine with that, stop reading.  We’re not the company for you.
 
The development team at eThority realized a long time ago that software shouldn’t cater to us techno-geeks.  Instead, we focus on developing software of distinction that pays homage to the end user.  We keep going when everyone else stops when it’s just good enough.  Guess what, most commercial software isn’t good enough.  Not even close.  Don’t believe me?  Try this experiment.  Go ask an average non-technical user of commercial software how they access and report on data from the systems in their company.  These are the systems that cost too much, took too long to implement and burned up too many resources.  90% of the time they are going to tell you they had to call some technical person holed up somewhere because they are only one who knows how to access the ugly beasts.  And that same poor schmuck who was hired to do cool technical stuff is now the resident disgruntled report writer who they need to wait for to get their reports.  Forget it.  The model is broken.
 
Look, you want to work with really smart people like you who are creating innovative software and are throwing convention out the window.  eThority is developing user-obvious software that the end user can actually, well, use.  eThority’s development team disrupts traditional development approaches.  Heck, we even developed our own development environment because the tools that are out there just weren’t cutting it.
 
Intrigued?  Good—send us your resume. 
  
Due to rapid company growth, eThority, Inc.. is currently looking for entry to mid-level Software Developers to join our development team.    In order to create visually appealing yet flexible components, we’ve created our own software development environment that has literally changed the way conventional development is done.  This is an outstanding opportunity to help develop and enhance the SDK and use the latest development tools such as ActionScript 3, Flash, java, VB.Net plus a variety of database technologies.
 
We are looking for people who are interested in creating the highest quality software products by using the best development tools to make that happen. The successful candidate will have a strong desire to dig deep into the details and to keep going because “good enough” simply isn’t good enough for them. The ideal person should have a passion for excellence and working on and designing a remarkable UI.   Plus they get to work with a talented and highly cohesive development team and have a lot of fun doing it.  We always encourage friendly office banter.

Traits we look for:

  • Desire to have your software used by millions of people
  • Training  and/or hands-on experience in application systems development using object oriented technologies  such as java, Visual Basic, J2EE, C++ or .Net
  • Training and/or hands-on experience writing Complex SQL, Windows and  web-based applications
  • Ability and desire to adapt to newest development technologies
  • Ability to accurately develop new application requirements as well as modify existing application requirements
  • Dedication to using source code control systems. (i.e. Vault, Source Safe, etc…)
  • Strong unit testing skills
  • Excellent documentation skills
  • Bachelor’s Degree (BA or BS) in Computer Science
