Chief Software Engineer

Location: Seattle

Position Summary
The ideal candidate brings strong experience designing and implementing Internet scale distributed systems. You will report directly to the VP, Engineering and work closely with the CTO.  You will manage a small, but experienced engineering team to design, implement, and test core pieces of the Symform service.  Since the team is small, we expect this position to be a "player/coach."  Therefore, you need to be a hands-on software developer -- a developer's developer, so to speak.
