Job Requirements
• Most days you will be contributing to a distributed database with a web-based frontend. You will be coding in Java, PL/SQL, and a little HTML, JavaScript (jQuery), and C++.
• You will tackle interesting scenarios that arise from multiple replicated databases, and extremely latent network connectivity.
• You will be using version control (we use Subversion and Git in some complicated ways), issue tracking (we use Trac), and automated builds (we use Jenkins)
• You will be working as part of a team and figuring out how to divide up the work, how to offer suggestions, and how to play nice with others.
• You will take old code and channel any internal grumbling about how it’s not designed well into motivation to make it better.
• Candidates must show a passion for innovation, a sophisticated understanding of software systems and applications, and the ability to effectively manage, grow, and evolve MDA Information Systems LLC software solutions.
• You’re highly proficient in Java, and ideally C++ as well. You code things well the first time through and you do it fast.
• You understand the differences between Java and C++. You have the aptitude to pick up other languages quickly.
• You need to care about how efficient things run, and how they look and feel to the end-user as well.
• You’re familiar with XML – not just what it looks like, but how to represent things in it cleanly as well as how to use open source libraries to parse it and validate it against a schema.
• You understand database design and have the ability to create and understand ER diagrams.
• Familiarity with instantiating and interacting with databases (preferably Oracle) and thorough knowledge of SQL.
• Our code replicates data across multiple geographic locations. A knowledge of Streams, GoldenGate, or SharePlex would be great (but not required).

Education
• The Senior Software Engineer Database Developer position requires a bachelors degree in a specialized area or equivalent field and two to five years of related experience; or masters degree and zero to two years of related experience.
