Have fun collaborating on innovative, challenging assignments where your opinion matters, you grow professionally and high performers are recognized and rewarded.

THE ROLE
We’re looking for people who love to make things, and who care about how things are made. If you have a strong sense of awesome and like to express it in code or other technical means – for example one of our engineers is building a robot on the side – IgnitionOne is the place for you. Our engineers are passionate about code quality and ensuring that our code conveys meaning.
To that end, we practice agile development with elements of Scrum, Kanban and XP, using best-of-breed tools, languages, and patterns*. We perform automated testing using both unit/TDD-style tests (based on Nunit and Moq), and integration/BDD-style tests using Specflow. We have around 2,500 tests so far, with many more to be written.
We handle huge volume (think hundreds of millions of transactions a day, and tables with billions of rows) and need a candidate who understands and can tackle the problems that come with scale. We are currently in the middle of a large rearchitecture effort that is already making our platform incredibly fast, scalable, robust, and maintainable, and we are looking at rewriting the UI next.
Our work environment is top-notch, with spacious, stylish work areas, plenty of daylight, plenty of whiteboard space, great connectivity, and other perks like free soft drinks, free beer (three different kegs on hand!), ping pong, foozball, Xbox, biweekly and catered lunches. Your future coworkers are highly collaborative and social, with summer open mic/karaoke nights and lots of other activities organized across not only IgnitionOne, but our sister company downstairs, 360i.
