(SENIOR) SOFTWARE ENGINEER, SERVER SIDE (C++) Job Description

Do you like to develop server-side components? Do you have the right mentality and skill set to work on one of the most advanced planning and scheduling software packages in the world? Do you love to develop software and not see programming as a stepping stone to becoming a manager? Then being part of the Quintiq R&D Server Team could be something for you.  

Job description
The Quintiq R&D Server Team is responsible for most of the backend systems that are part of the Quintiq Application Suite. This covers a wide range of components & processes that are more backend-related than GUI-related. The heart of the Quintiq server system is formed by an in-memory transactional, configurable object modeled so that it can be controlled by a domain-specific procedural/functional language (DSL). Every customer runs the same backend system and the Quintiq server sees the model just as data. The complete system can run on a laptop and can be scaled up and out to suit customer needs. The components we work on include: OS abstraction layers, internationalization layers, custom high-speed memory managers, in-memory transactional system engines, schedulers, language parser(s), JIT compilers, object relational mapping, internal message queues, DSL components, Integration to 3rd party systems like: Databases, Message Queues, GIS backends, LDAP Servers, SOAP servers, reporting engines. We design, build and maintain these components and extend the software in new directions to service our growing customer base.

Department profile
R&D builds the core software that is used by our business units, partner & customer IT departments to model Advanced Planning and Scheduling Solutions. This constitutes a complete modeling environment including GUI Designer and Business Logic Model Editor applications and a proprietary domain-specific procedural / functional-modeling language (Quill).
Quintiq R&D consists of several teams that each has its own area of focus. Apart from the advanced technologies the Server Team focuses on, these teams handle the development of distributed monitoring and configuration, advanced graphical user interface components, artificial intelligence (e.g., linear programming, genetic algorithms, heuristic search techniques, constraint programming, etc.).
Quintiq prefers smaller teams with a high degree ownership that are involved in the complete software lifecycle. Quintiq R&D team is located in the Netherlands ('s-Hertogenbosch) and works closely with a test team in Malaysia. We make use of a source control system, a bug & issue database, continuous builds and the best tools & hardware for development.
