Role
Who you are
- You have a well-founded understanding of C# development. We won't limit to ‘x’ years’ experience, but you should be able to demonstrate your app building skills and confident use of C#. We're happy to introduce you to the other technologies we use
- You know how to build things from start to finish. You can identify a need, understand its impact, and seek out and work with others to deliver a well-crafted solution in a team environment—asking for help when needed
- You have good communication skills. As a distributed team, it’s important that we're able to understand each other, verbally and in writing, connecting at the appropriate level of abstraction. You communicate clearly and with empathy, whether you’re discussing refactoring options with a developer, or working with a designer to understand user experience
- You write clean, thoughtful code. Our code is the home that we live in every day. You enjoy putting effort into crafting understandable and well-tested code, to make everyone’s shared development experience more enjoyable
- You are eager to collaborate, learn and teach. Our Engineering team is friendly and supportive of each other, and we look for opportunities to learn from each other’s experience
- You are a seasoned software engineer. Your experience includes designing, building, testing, and debugging code in distributed systems. You care about software architecture and how it impacts a team’s ability to maintain and operate systems
What the job involves
- Our Infrastructure team is responsible for our fleet of over 2000 machines and devices screen capturing emails on over 100 different email clients across mobile, desktop, and web to help our customers test their email designs. We also manage the infrastructure that processes over 1 billion email opens a month to provide useful post-send analytics for our customers to monitor their email performance
- We're looking for a remote .NET developer to help expand our product line, improve our existing products, and help build the next generation of Litmus tools
- In this role, you’ll work alongside a team of smart, curious people working on challenging problems. We're a motley crew of developers with a diverse set of skills and backgrounds. Most importantly, we're supportive of one another; we work as a team to enable each other to do our best work
