Senior Software Design Engineer, User Experience, WPF/Silverlight/Surface/FLEX
at Lab49 in New York City
Want to work on new development projects and new technologies, not just keep the old ones running? Are you more interested in finding challenging work than maintaining a cushy job? Are you ready to put all that bit-twiddling to use, solving large enterprise problems in leading financial institutions?
In short, if you’re smart and productive, technical and personable, creative and experienced, Lab49 is the place for you.
At a time when many firms are down-sizing, Lab49 is hiring top-flight software engineers to work on the design and development of leading-edge trading systems.
Our projects demand the highest level of technical design and execution, combined with passion and skill in working with non-technical users.
For the right person, we offer the opportunity to work on challenging assignments with outstanding colleagues.
Description
Our Senior Engineers are primarily engaged in building innovative new trading front-ends on the Windows platform. A typical system we deliver has a Java/C++ on Unix back-end and a Windows-based (WPF or WinForms) trader desktop front-end, focused on efficiently delivering large volumes of trade or pricing data to the desktop. Other projects involve providing complex, real-time trading and financial management functionality to the bank’s external institutional and retail customers. Therefore, experience with multi-threaded UI's, efficient memory and thread management, and judicious use of screen real-estate are important considerations for these positions.
Additionally we do work on web-based applications; most often in Silverlight but occasionally ASP.NET as well. These involve building sophisticated web-services projects, or helping our clients create engaging end-user web applications. Therefore a solid understanding of WCF, Web Services, IIS internals, and network protocols, combined with a capacity and desire for creating web applications (information architecture, AJAX, html) is useful as well.
Lab49 is an innovative firm with a strong emphasis on attracting the most technically astute engineers who possess the ability to engage well with our financial services clients. We're passionate about technology, architecture and design while fostering an environment that supports the creation of reliable, high-performance software.
Our culture promotes the constant improvement of our personal and professional skills by sharing with each other the latest research and new technologies available. However, we've found that natural enthusiasm for our craft is a key ingredient in our continued success and growth. Throughout the firm, Lab49 actively nurtures this intellectually innovative work environment.
Lab49 is continuously looking to expand our group of highly talented, senior-level software engineers. Driven by our mission, we engage on technically challenging projects that compel us to continually evolve our skills, both individually and collectively. Our team is smart, focused, relaxed and creative.
Life at Lab49 is good. We work hard and we play hard. All jobs come with full benefits and a nice salary. We value our people, and are committed to providing a respectful work environment with challenges appropriate to your experience and aptitude.

• Driven to produce software of the highest quality through self-discipline, clear and engaged communication, and attention to detail
