Sr Software Developer

The driving force behind our success has always been the people of AspenTech. What drives us, is our aspiration, our desire and ambition to keep pushing the envelope, overcoming any hurdle, challenging the status quo to continually find a better way. You will experience these qualities of passion, pride and aspiration in many ways — from a rich set of career development programs to support of community service projects to social events that foster fun and relationship building across our global community.

The Role

We are looking for a Sr Software developer to join our back end C++ Development team. As a member of the Development team, you’ll have the opportunity to work on exciting industrial edge connectivity and industrial edge computing projects, surfacing data from the plant floor all the way into the cloud. This will focus on highly performant data services used to move and manage massive amounts of data, aggregating the data into our platform, and provide supporting data visualization and analysis capabilities.

From brainstorming with our Product Owners, technical architecture sessions with our experts, to experimenting with cutting edge big data technologies, you’ll bring our customers features from idea to reality. You’ll join a team of very skilled, talented and passionate people, always bringing the industry best practices to our workflow. This is a great opportunity to join the booming market of the Internet of Things “IoT” and be part of a fast-growing company that is on the leading edge of the industry.

Your Impact

• Write backend services using C/C++ Programming language that access our proprietary data stores as well as MongoDB data store.
• Design and implement tables and data structures within our backend data stores to support new product capabilities.
• Scope and estimate the development and testing effort for user stories
• Perform automated testing (Unit, Integration and End to End) within an iterative agile environment.
• Share knowledge with the team by participating in Code Reviews and Pair Programming.
• Participate in all agile ceremonies (standups, planning, training, backlog refinement, reviews, retrospectives).
• Translate provided designs and style guides into functional user interfaces, ensuring cross browser compatibility and performance.
• While we are focusing on the back end for these positions, it would be nice to have (not required) full stack capabilities such as:
• Write web applications (in Javascript, HTML5, CSS) within various front end development frameworks (GWT, React, Vue, Typescript, etc).
• Accountable for delivering assigned development tasks and take ownership to deliver on time.

What You'll Need

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, related software engineering discipline or equivalent experience.
• Any range of experience as we have multiple positions in this area to fill.
• Open minded, able to think within and out of the box.
• Fundamental knowledge of computer programming. Data structures, algorithms, concurrent programing, elements of operating systems design, etc.
• You are an advanced user of at least one modern operating system and can create application software for it. Your ability to create system software would be a distinct plus.
• You are ready and willing to learn something new. For example, we did not emphasize any particular OS above, because we expect that with your fundamental knowledge, you can learn whatever OS we think we need to support tomorrow.
• You are familiar with concepts such as networks, databases, servers, communications and information security, and you have successfully participated in software development involving at least some of that.
• You are fluent in the C++ language and follow its evolution closely.
• You are familiar with other programming (scripting) languages.
• The modern software development cycle and tooling is just something you know, and if you have not worked with a particular platform, IDE, compiler, source control or bug tracking system, you should be able to get going with minimal assistance.
• You speak English fluently.
• Ability and desire to also do Front-End development with a modern framework (React, Angular, Vue, …), JavaScript, TypeScript (nice to have).
