New York City revolutionary app store development project. C# / WPF, C++



How would you attract world class software development companies to an app store? The same way flowers attract bees, offer the best quality nectar. We are building a team of developers who will create an app store that allows external companies to build products based on the best financial data, trade execution, and analysis tools available, anywhere in the world.

Our client is a global media company staying ahead of their competition through a combination of more advanced technology, extraordinary software talent, and a greater focus on their core market than the competition can muster. This company has grown every year for decades, offers world class salary and benefits (4 weeks vacation to start, free health insurance for your whole family, etc.,) facilities, and tools to advanced software talent. The environment is a mashup of the financial resources of an investment bank with the product orientation of Apple. This is an extremely high volume and high performance transactional environment. We are looking for senior developers from serious industry backgrounds like networking, telecom, shrink-wrapped product development, or other demanding software environments. The company sells data and processing abilities to other firms. This team is developing an app store that will allow third party companies to resell these processing capabilities to new markets.

Technical Skills: client is seeking strong CS fundamentals (algorithms, data structures, etc.) to pass rigorous interviews. A foundation in C++ is a huge plus. Deep C# skills and knowledge of WPF and/or Silverlight are critical though they have hired people who don’t have a lot of WPF. You need to be able to explain the principles of dependency injection. Knowledge of multithreading in .Net is critical as is OO principles.

Qualifications:
5+ years designing and building successful Windows products
Strong OOD/OOP skills, and experience applying modern design patterns
Experience with .NET architecture (CLR, GC, and C# programming)
Experience with WinForms, WPF and Silverlight
Experience with Web Services and multi-tier distributed systems
Experience with high-performance multi-threading in Win32 and .NET
