[Hiring] Over twenty developer/software engineer roles to be filled. In CT, a few hours from NYC.

I am a financial recruiter at The Options Group working on a mandate from a financial institution trying to bolster its IT/IT support/tech engineering departments.

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

Having more skills/languages under your belt is obviously more desirable, however any amount of experience is welcome from entry-level to 20 years+. As important is the culture fit emphasized at the financial company itself and I believe the Reddit community has most of the desirable traits (see below). Must be able to speak English as would a native.

Developer: any mention of Hadoop, Haskel, F#, Lisp, Scheme or any of the pure Functional languages (you can get a list on wikipedia); While they don't use any of those languages and don't care about specific know-how, I believe that people who have taken the time to explore that space are more likely to fit their profile of rock-star hardcore software engineer.

Support: any mention of Arduino; Similar logic as above; Arduino is a hobbiest framework, but should be a bellweather for the type of "hacker" / diagnostician profile they seek.

Regarding Personal Qualities

  • Must be inquisitive and eager to learn
  • Able to work independently and "own" a task
  • Be comfortable with problem solving and new business concepts
  • Be open and honest, and able to handle transparency
  • Quick, sharp, but careful and be mentally flexible
