We're looking for great C# programmers, ideally with some Agile and WPF/Silverlight experience to help us create our best-in-class scientific analysis software.
What can we offer?
- Freedom to work the way you think is best
Nonlinear Dynamics is a small, responsive company that won't restrict you in the way that some companies can. Don't believe us? Get in touch and ask us about how we work. In the development team, we use agile practices from SCRUM and are evolving these constantly based on our experiences. There's no dogma here. - Develop using up-to-date technologies
We build desktop Windows applications using the .NET stack, primarily in C# and making heavy use of WPF, MVVM, LINQ, Rx, Unity, MEF, the Task Parallel library, NSubstitute, Moq, and small amounts of WinForms, WCF and more. In terms of tools, we use the latest Visual Studio and ReSharper plus Git, NUnit, FogBugz, Kiln, Trello, TeamCity and OneNote; plus anything else we feel we need. Don’t have experience in all of them? That's ok; being bright, an excellent programmer and a fast learner carries a lot of weight with us. - The chance to change the world
The software we develop is helping scientists all over the world to better understand the biochemical world, from developing drugs to fight cancer, to engineering plants to revolutionise biofuel production, and so much more. Working at Nonlinear, you'll learn a little about biochemistry too - it's a fascinating domain and a great way of expanding your mind. Job satisfaction doesn't come much better. - Big-company benefits, small company ethos
If you do a bit of googling, you'll see that, in August 2013, we were acquired by Waters Corporation. This has brought with it some extra employee benefits including a company pension scheme and a healthcare package. And, despite now being part of such a large parent company, we're delighted to have retained the ethos and agility of the past 20+ years of being a start-up - something that Waters are keen to preserve. So you get all of the up-sides and none of the potential downsides. - An easy commute
Our core working hours are from 10am to 4pm (in a 37.5 hour week), meaning you can avoid the rush hour. Overlooking the Newcastle quayside, we're also just a couple of minutes' walk from the nearest Metro station and 10 minutes' walk from the train station, so you might be able to avoid the roads altogether. - See the world
There are also plenty of opportunities for meeting customers and attending conferences, both nationally and internationally.

- Do programmers have quiet working conditions?
Not always. It’s an open-plan office that is fairly quiet most of the time, but can get noisy on occasion. Feel free to listen to Spotify on your headphones.
