Job Opening: Application Developer

Soapstone Networks is developing software for carrier’s next-generation networks and currently hiring advanced C++ Application Developers. If you want to explore a company that is being looked at as the next milestone in networking then you have arrived! Soapstone Networks is focused on developing solutions which will render some of today’s networking technologies obsolete and which will enable carriers and service providers to deploy and provision next generation IP based services in a way which maximizes their revenues and minimizes their operating expenses.

Carrier networks are undergoing unprecedented transformations! Customers are not interested in a technology that solves next year’s problem, today they want to solve today’s problem. Our design methodology is based on agile/extreme programming to enable us to target new markets without a massive new re-planning cycle. The product architecture is extremely modular with independent plug-ins that allows customization and/or retargeting.

As an Application Developer you will be:

• Contributing to new designs and only writing new code.
• Working in short design and coding cycles per XP methodology, with cutting edge tool set.
• Researching and resolving complex issues as part of that design cycle.
• Evaluating and changing other team member’s code.
• Expected to be innovative and creative.

Skills needed to work in this environment:

• Advanced degrees with 5+ years, or equivalent combination of both, and software and development on a UNIX/Linux platform.
• C++ and object oriented development.
• Experience in a multi-process, multithreaded, and distributed process.
• You must demonstrate competence and expertise in more than one discipline e.g. coding skills, application specific knowledge. We are looking for people who are flexible and adaptable.
• Experience with Extreme Programming or other Agile methodology is preferred.
• Experience with networking is a definitive plus.

What will Soapstone Networks offer you?

• New Code design – No maintaining old code, you will be developing new code.
• Compensation & Benefits – Competitive compensation packages tailored to your needs! Comprehensive health insurance, 3 weeks of vacation your first year, and 401(k) matched by the company.
• Culture – Every employee is critical to our success. If you want to learn new technology and be stretched outside of your comfort zone this is the place for you!

Furthermore, Soapstone Networks will offer you a flexible working environment in which success is measured in what you get done AND not in where and how you get it done.
