The main responsibilities of a Senior C# Developer (UI side) are:
As a Senior C# Developer within our development team you will be tasked to scale up the firm's capacities to manage inventory. You will be doing this by processing, storing, servicing (to systems and users), and confirming its consistency using external data sources.
You will be expected to play a key role in streamlining our development process when needed, from source code check-in to deployment and finally to production (Jira, Jenkins, svn, git).
You have a proven track record working with C# and additional knowledge of C++, Java or Posix systems is welcome.
Storing big amounts of data in structured manners requires in depth knowledge of SQL (preferably T-SQL) and if Map-Reduce means something to you, it’s definitely a plus.
