Rise Interactive (http://www.riseinteractive.com), a rapidly growing full service interactive advertising agency, is looking to hire a Senior Application Engineer into the Innovation team in our Mexico City office. We are looking for a self-directed, detail-oriented individual who thrives in an entrepreneurial culture as we grow our quickly expanding client base.
Summary and Scope
Engineers get into trouble. Senior engineers get them out of trouble. A senior software engineer should be able to design and implement entire feature areas end-to-end. They should also be able to think of many solutions to a given problem, have seen many of them before, and be able to understand the tradeoffs. Beyond writing great code, they should be able to coach and mentor other team members on the same. They should be able to demonstrate a deep knowledge of topics like optimization, memory management, networking fundamentals, and the underlying operating systems. Given a crash dump, should have some idea of what to do with it. Attributes we're looking for here are obviously a certain level of competence and leadership, but also a passion for helping to coach and improve the rest of the team.
