Developing WPF applications for simulations in scientific industry
This successful Cambridge company develop simulation software for specialist industry. With international reach, yet local offices and a family feel, they would suit an experienced engineer skilled in C# desktop software development including UI, able to take on leadership of a small team.
As well as developing software yourself, you would lead and inspire the team and advise on new technologies, whilst considering the needs of the team and the company. Additional topics such as security and IT may also be advantaged by your input.
You will have:
* Extensive commercial-grade software development experience in desktop C# applications with .NET (whether .NET 6-10, Framework or Core). WPF is ideal, and any past use of Prism is helpful. Some additional knowledge of C++ (ideally MFC) is anticipated, for occasional small side projects on legacy software.
* Held senior developer responsibilities before, including taking a view on software engineering approaches, leading projects where required, and mentoring junior colleagues.
* Developed applications which allow a skilled user to interact with and manipulate complex technical content, rather than e.g. CRM or other database front ends.
* A good intuition about UI usability, considering users profiles and use cases. This is not a UX role, and the software is already favoured by users, yet intuition and experience will help ensure that future developments are similarly well received.
* The ability to get up to speed quickly, and work independently as well as collaborate with colleagues.
This is a friendly and close-knit company which can offer a long term career opportunity. Situated within cycling distance of north Cambridge, the company’s offices also offer plenty of parking on site.
Keywords: C#, .NET, Senior, Lead, UI, GUI, WPF, XAML, MVVM, Prism, DI / IoC, usability, simulation software, science and industry, engineering
