In your role as Architect, you will work on a team of architects to provide the overall architectural and design guidance for all software development and integration projects, and specifically our next generation, multinational, multilingual, multisite platform rewrite using primarily Microsoft .NET 2.0+ technologies. We are an agile development shop, so experience with agile is a big plus. This job also has a substantial “hands-on” component – we are a small enough shop where even our architects get to write code on a daily basis.
You and your team will be able to focus on software development exclusively, leaving the day to day operations of our infrastructure to other folks. This job really is about developing the best in leading edge software to support current and future growth.
We are seeking a highly talented software architect with significant experience in an e-commerce or online marketplace. If you haven’t “done it” before, this is not the job for you. You need to know what you are doing, how to define solid design patterns and architectures for n-tier, scalable internet based commerce systems, and have the skills and attitude to make things happen in the fast-paced world of a pre-IPO internet environment. You need to be comfortable mentoring and advising multiple small teams while also delivering capacity as a developer. You will be working on a team of architects led by the Manager of Software Architecture, who in turn reports to the Director of Software Development.
Come join our team and enjoy our relaxed, casual work environment (the CTO wears sandals to work every day!) while becoming an expert in international ecommerce, multilingual site development, and agile software processes.
