What you’ll be doing…
You will design and develop server-side software for a next-generation Visual Analytics and Collaboration suite. As a Core Server developer, you will be working on a Java and C++-based platform on which we build server-based applications. The server platform is the foundation that allows businesses to analyze large datasets interactively, and people who are passionate about data to bring their interactive data views to life on the public Internet. You will be able to take on a variety of projects, from building a high-performance backend to a web-based analytics tool, to building robust and highly available clustered services, to extending the abilities of people to collaborate on data at intranet and Internet scales. You will do this and more in a highly collaborative environment full of talented professionals who are dedicated to helping people “see and understand their data”.

Who you are…
You are a rock-star developer with at least three years of experience who loves code and has a passion for solving complex problems, be they at work or in your spare time on your own projects. You believe in automation and writing tests for your own code as a way of maintaining high quality in your products. You understand what it takes to write software that is used by thousands or millions of people. You love writing things that “just work” – things that are robust, scalable, and that perform well. You enjoy collaborating, learning from or teaching others so we can all become better developers. Finally, you have solid development skills with Java and ideally some experience with C++.
