Silverlight Developer
Asentis on behalf of a sports company is looking for an outstanding Sliverlight developer
You will be joining a small team that is, delivery focussed group of strong C#/.net developers.
The team have just started a new green-field project to build next generation sports pricing platform.
This will allow sports traders to use our real time quantitative models over the web to predict the outcome of a wide range of sports events in real time.
They have already built out the backend end pricing services using a cloud based, low latency infrastructure and we are now looking for strong Silverlight developers who can help create a range of great Trader UIs to allow sports traders to able to price up betting markets sports matches and games as they are played
- Keen and disciplined enough to work in an automated, continuous deployment environment.
- A Silverlight expert. Know anything about MVVM? Has a good experience with unit testing? You will be expected to write some demo code at the interview against our JSON/REST API to back up your claims!
- A good understanding of REST principles. The system is designed using a pure HATEOAS manner – it would be great if you know what this means!
- A smart design eye is also important. Simplicity and ease of use is the goal here. We want to find someone who can take a complex and potentially confusing interface design and really make it easy to use for sports traders who are dealing with a busy sports match in a hectic trading rooms. We hope you have some URLs we can see that show off your skills.
- We focus on using the right tool for the job so we also run a variety of open source components (things like RabbitMQ, MongoDB, Riak). We are looking for people who are happy working outside of a pure Microsoft environment
- bias to action. Everyone rolls code to production several times a day and we actively encourage the short feedback loops this gives us but we need to make sure that our code is fully tested on every deployment. Are you comfortable with this approach?
- multilingual
