We are seeking a Software Engineer to help with our backend Java processes which handle incoming device communications and interfacing with the database, along with a mapping GUI which uses the Google GWT framework to provide browser access to location data.
Looking for developers with around 5 - 10 years of experience but will accept resumes from any applicants with relevant experience. Work will be primarily on the Java based AJAX mapping UI but also involve working on high performance location backend which handles over 45 million incoming locations a month and 3-4 hundred transactions a second.
Skills/qualifications:
* Solid experience with database driven systems (MYSQL experience a plus, but any leading DB is valid)
* Java programming skills. Especially multithreaded, networking applications
* GWT framework skills along with CSS, Javascript, HTML a plus
* Unix experience a plus
Design a modular site capable of rapid and simple upgrading - this will be a phased implementation and I need you to design the website in those phases.
Explain alternative solutions and provide advice and consultancy on the optimal solution for each phase within the broader picture
Source other consultants/programmers
Plan and deliver flexible databases
Borrow best practice from publically available sources
Understand and design for optimal user interaction
Create and stay mindful of budgets
Manage (if not perform) the construction of the approved phases
Communicate clearly verbally and in writing
Work rapidly and accurately to achieve goals within timelines
Be a great thought leader and innovator
Solve problems
Applicants will be particularly welcome if they are able to demonstrate that they:
Are motivated by environmental causes
Have access to a network of capable programmers locally
Have a solid grasp of general business principles
Have a passion for and understand the importance of the user experience
Can present to audiences of prospective users and investors
The role is output driven not input driven i.e. I am paying you for deliverables not time spent so if you have a full time job or other clients and can deliver this in your spare time I am entirely comfortable with that as long as we have regular access to one another. This means that you will live/work in the GVA ideally south of Burrard Inlet and west of New Westminster but in the end I'm looking for the best person for the job not the easiest person to meet.
Ideally this person segways into the CTO/CIO role within the business and becomes an equity partner but that is only an opportunity for the perfect person. At this stage the opportunity is as a paid consultant.
Applicants should reply in writing with a 1 page resume (don't tell me what languages you know or use - they mean nothing to me) and a cover letter stating why you are the right person to design a web-based business from scratch. I need to know what you are doing professionally now and what you have done in the past that is directly relevant to this role. Please put it all in one email with no attachments. Links to past works are welcome as long as you are clear on what part you played in the development/construction of the linked site.
I should just say that this is categorically not a website design like 99% of all other websites. It is not a shop front, a blog, an information exchange, an affiliate group or any other typical application. It borrows bits from all but is at the same time nothing like them. I doubt that you will have made something like this before. I need a creator and an innovator not a duplicator. We will need to borrow open code and build something from pre-formed parts but the end product doesn't exist anywhere today. Unless you can show me what you did that was unique or bleeding-edge in internet terms (at the time) then you probably should not waste your time applying.
If you can give me sound advice and a clear, workable plan to build my website in stages and within the budget (which you will set) I will give you excellent remuneration, a fun business to be part of and an opportunity to create something genuinely remarkable that might just make you famous. Be part of something really big and put your mark on virgin territory.
Thanks for your time in reading this. All applications will be responded to (however briefly).
