Job Description

Avencia develops innovative, web-based software that uses mapping technologies and geography to solve complex, interesting, and novel problems. We serve a broad range of clients including governments, non-profit organizations, universities, and businesses. We have particular expertise in natural resource planning, economic development, crime analysis, real estate property analysis, and cultural resources, but are engaged in a wide range of other interesting projects. We believe we can make a difference through geographic information technologies and each of our client projects, products and pro bono engagements showcases this commitment.

Some information that might help you decide if you are a good fit for our software developer position:

* Object-Oriented Programming experience using Java, C# or C++.
* Experience with designing and querying relational databases such as SQLServer, Oracle, or Postgres.
* Experience creating enterprise web applications with application frameworks such as .Net or Java.
* Working knowledge of HTML, CSS, and XML.
* Familiarity with one or more software development methodologies with preference for Agile, Test-Driven, or Extreme Programming.
* Ability to multi-task, prioritize and meet deadlines.
* Ability to write and speak about technical topics to both colleagues and non-technical audiences.
* Strong problem-solving skills.
* Knowledge of geography including experience with ESRI or Open Source GIS products is desirable.
* Knowledge or experience with web services design is desirable.


An Avencia software developer's responsibilities are not limited to writing code. Our work is multi-disciplinary and may include: business analysis, user-interface design, systems architecture, database design, application development, documentation, testing and deployment. Most of Avencia’s software is written using the .Net framework with C#, but we welcome experienced developers with a background in related development environments such as Java.

We are a small, customer-focused company that seeks out interesting and complex web-based software projects. We are looking for talented, creative people who are interested in working in a growing company and contributing to a range of geography-related projects. We work in a bright loft space designed for collaboration, and are located near Reading Terminal Market, Chinatown, public transit and other amenities. Avencia offers a competitive salary and benefits package. We welcome candidates from all walks of life and value diversity in our company.
