Principal Java Software Engineer at XPIENT Solutions (Charlotte, NC 28226)

20 Nov 2009 20:31:00 GMT

This job is located in Charlotte, NC - USA. We may consider relocation options for highly qualified candidates.

XPIENT is a market leader in Enterprise class software for Hospitality and Foodservice. These are much more complex than they look at first brush. More than a retail operation, a restaurant is a small factory, where we need to handle production control, planning, order sequencing, queuing, dispatching, reservations, future order booking and delivery and many others that require a real-time "Mini-ERP" solution.

We are currently working on a new package for our suite of applications and the team needs to add a Sr. Java Software Engineer, who will contribute in the design, writing and porting of functionality, creating and enhancing libraries, frameworks and implementing agile development practices, such as Test Driven Development and Domain Driven Acceptance Testing among others.

This position requires expert-level Java knowledge.

Our software development activities include the creation of graphical user interfaces, database development, writing client-server, loosely-coupled systems; they cover domain areas such as Customer Demand Planning, Product/Production Management, Operations Management, Electronic Payment Processing, Customer Relationship Management and Business Intelligence. They are both rich client-based and server-side (Websites, RIA).

You should know most of these things:
- Deep expertise with Java and the Java Libraries
- Working knowledge of the Apache Software Foundation libraries
- Understanding of multi-threaded/concurrent application programming
- Expertise with network programing (TCP/IP)
- Agile development, especially the practices of Extreme Programming
- Software Patterns
- Troubleshooting
- Porting of legacy and third-party application code

You will be part of a small team, designing, implementing, porting, testing and documenting software . You will work closely with peers and industry experts to refine requirements and implement them. You will also be entrusted with implementing and maintaining our technology strategy within your team.

We value diverse professional experience and background. Because of that, familiarity with other programming environments is a plus, for example: C/C++ in Windows/Win32, C/C++ in Linux/Unix, scripting environments such as Pyhton or Javascript, developing Rich Internet Applications with jQuery, GWT or Flex. We also value and will accept candidates with background in other areas, such as music, arts, literature and design.

A bachelor's degree or equivalent education is required.

We use the best tools that money can buy (or get): IntelliJ IDEA, Accurev, Ant, JUnit, Cruise Control, Jira, Confluence, Apache Tomcat, Java, Lua (you'll have to choose your own Programmer's Editor, though. We can never get anyone to agree on what "best" is in this case! But we'll pay for the license...)

Founded in 2004, XPIENT Solutions is an independent software company. We develop Point-of-Sale, Back Office, and Enterprise Management applications for Quick Service, Fast Casual, Family and Casual Dining restaurant enterprises. Our Point of Sale application is installed in almost 30,000 restaurants and 90,000 terminals in the United States. Our clients are some of the largest and most successful foodservice companies in the world. Check out our customer list here: http://www.xpient.com/customers.htm

We have a flat organizational structure with minimal bureaucracy, small teams and a very collaborative environment. If you like to solve problems and can get things done, we have an opportunity for you.

Finally, we don't have professional recruiters. This means that your resume will go to the hiring managers, who can make a decision quickly.

Interested? Please send cover letter and resume to amy@xpient.com
