The Ceres Group is hiring : Developer UI SQL Investment Technology in Boston

The Senior Developer works as a member of the Investment Technology Team to build solutions that support the investment process.

We are building an investment decision support application that assists researchers in evaluating companies based on socially responsible criteria. Portfolio Managers use this tool to aid in identifying companies which demonstrate positive impact in society through their business operations and overall activities, while producing competitive investment returns. The application will support analysis of a wide range of metrics around social, environmental, and governance activities within companies, and then to combine those metrics into models which assist in determining companies that balance both financial and non-financial needs, and demonstrate a commitment to society.

This is a new development, so developers in this role will have an opportunity to significantly contribute to the design and implementation, and will be using current technologies as part of that implementation. We are looking for someone with substantial experience in designing and implementing JavaScript-based solutions, preferably with Angular or similar. Any candidate should be comfortable with developing JavaScript-based libraries and components that are modular, well architected, and designed for maintenance and extensibility. Additionally, they should have experience designing intuitive, responsive user web-based user interfaces.

While this role is principally a UI developer role, candidates with broader experience may be able to participate in other areas that this project uses, including building restful APIs, SQL queries.

Primary Responsibilities :

• This is a very hands on role. Design and develop software systems, both independently and collaboratively with the rest of the team, ensuring the resulting code is well structured, tested, extensible, and maintainable.
• Writing production-ready and testable code with fluency in modern front-end java script frameworks.
• Ability to enhance or troubleshoot existing code.
• Architecting applications leveraging software design patterns and object oriented design principles.
• Look for either opportunities for reuse as part of solutions - reuse of existing approaches and tools, or opportunities in this project to build components that can be a foundation for future work.
• Collaborate with the business users in order to understand and refine requirements, and incorporate feedback into the development process.
• Manage technical debt, placing a high value on refactoring, collective code ownership, and improving the design of existing code.

Desired Skills :

SQL Server 2016, C#, Angular 6.x, Restful Web Services, AWS Cloud

Agile Methodologies - any of Scrum, Kanban, and / or Lean
