Do you feel excited when you solve a problem or produce a new programming solution to a challenge you have been trying to figure out? We are looking for someone who can contribute to our innovative technology adventure!

Key Responsibilities: 

  • Further enhancement and development of our existing product portfolio 
  • Lead the architectural design of new products, transitioning from PLC to C++/C#, and contribute to the implementation of Agile, Scrum, and DevOps methodologies. 
  • Establish and enforce best practices, standards, and guidelines for software development. 
  • Collaborate with the team to bring innovative solutions to the table, fostering a culture of guidance and openness to change. 
  • Design, develop, and maintain innovative tools, frameworks, and systems to enhance developer productivity. 

 Qualifications:

  • Bachelor or Master’s degree in Software Development, Computer Science or similar (may be compensated by relevant experience) 

Desirable skills: 

  • Proficiency in web front-end development and expertise in C#, gRPC (Protocol Buffer files, communication) for back-end development. 
  • Previous experience in non-web applications with ASP.Net framework, Signal-R/WebSockets, and Docker. 
  • Knowledge of version control systems, specifically GIT. 
  • Demonstrated ability to quickly grasp project requirements and work independently towards solutions. 
  • Strong commitment to incorporating and promoting Agile, Scrum, and DevOps practices within the team. 
  • It is an advantage (but not a requirement) if you have knowledge or experience with programmable logic controllers (PLC), as well as the oil and gas industry in general 

We can offer exciting opportunities, challenging tasks and a friendly, collaborative (and of course - nerdy) work environment. And by the way – we are fully aware that prospective applicants are going to use ChatGPT to write their applications :)
