Platform Toolsmith

Do you love building tools?  Do you get a kick out of building integrated systems that just work?

Ingenio is looking for someone to help build a robust and highly integrated platform for software development, deployment and testing.   Our system consists of a mixture of web, telephony and data platforms so it takes a lot of ingenuity to assemble these pieces and to verify that they work together correctly to provide a compelling user experience.

We need an experienced toolsmith who understands the challenge of release engineering, system monitoring, infrastructure build-out and software architecture to help us keep our coders coding, our testers testing, our users using, and our systems running smoothly.

Sample projects:

• Build new plug-ins for our distributed system monitoring application.
• Develop a new deployment tool for coordinating updates to our server farm.
• Implement a SIP phone emulator for testing telephony applications.
• Plan SOA and ESB middleware deployment projects.
• Work on Open Source projects such as Gallio, MbUnit, Archimedes and WatiN.

What we will look for in you:

• You love to program!
• You like to tinker and take things apart... and put them back together better than they were before.
• You have great communication skills.
• You know at least one object-oriented programming language such as C#, Java, Python, Ruby or C++.
• You have experience with release engineering and deployments.
• You have a 4 year degree in computer science or engineering.

Location: San Francisco, CA.  Downtown with easy access to BART and Muni.
