Integration Engineer / C# - Tablet Command, Inc.

Tablet Command builds software that matters.

Tablet Command is an enterprise SaaS company founded in 2012 by firefighters for firefighters and is the leading mobile incident command and response solution for fire departments across the U.S. The software increases situational awareness, speeds incident response, streamlines incident management, and improves firefighter accountability. Tablet Command has over 700 agencies amongst +120 accounts in North America and Canada, including some of the country's largest metros and 911 centers. Our iPad app is in the hands of firefighters and other first responders when they respond to emergency incidents. We deliver intuitive, easy-to-use, and, above all, robust and reliable software solution that improves outcomes.

The ideal candidate will have experience working remotely. We look for strong communication skills and a passion for high-quality software. We love keeping up with new technology and best practices and we hope you do too. In our software, we value robustness, stability, resilience, and performance. If our code works, lives are saved. If our code fails, lives can be at risk. We are motivated by the fact that our work has a real impact and it pushes us to be better every day.

As a part of a small, collaborative, and agile tech team, you will be a contributor to the design of middleware interfacing our API and other enterprise software solutions. You will build, test, debug and maintain application software throughout the product lifecycle. We talk to our users directly whenever possible so you will need a strong customer focus. If something goes wrong, we pull together as a team and scramble to fix it.

Tablet Command is a mostly remote team with the headquarters based in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Requirements

• Strong understanding of data structures and database systems, including MS SQL, MySQL, Postgres, etc.
• A good understanding of networking and network security, including TCP/IP stack, firewalls, routers, etc.
• PowerShell and deploying/installing Windows software/services is a plus.

Stack

On our backend/API, we run a cluster of Node.js services in a mix of Javascript and Typescript backed by MongoDB. We use RabbitMQ as a task queue and Redis for ephemeral data. Our interface applications are built in C# / .Net. Experience with C# and .Net is a bonus, but we’re primarily interested in people willing to learn. The stack may not look the same in a few years; therefore, we prefer to hire for the long term, not the short term.

Due to the sensitive nature of our customer data, you will be required to pass a pre-employment background check and also pass the DOJ CJIS background clearance, if necessary, per customer State requirement.

In your application please include an example of something you’ve created and are proud of. This can be anything you choose: an app you’ve built, some code, a blog post, a pull request, or whatever you like.
