We are building a team whose area of focus will be web GUI development. This will be a horizontal team that will specialize in GUI development and will build GUIs for all our products. Our GUI development platform is a proprietary tool. It has an IDE (Integrated Development Environment) which comes with a rich library of widgets. It allows you to design the web page without having to go into details of the HTML/CSS, by using a drag and drop philosophy. Once a widget is in place on a page, one can define the database interactions of the widgets by defining the underlying table structure and SQL queries. In addition to SQL & database knowledge, the work also involves data manipulation using Java programming. Query performance and Java code performance and optimization will be very essential for work. So we are looking for good programmers with UI + Java + SQL background who are keen to take up GUI development as a specialization.

Quickly adapt to our startup environment which is both demanding and fast-paced (but is also a lot of fun)

Eager in learning new concepts, technologies and be productive in a short time

Convert a raw idea into usable real-life software products

Good understanding and working knowledge of technologies worked

Demonstrate good problem-solving skills

Write modular, readable, and maintainable code

Own and be able to manage a small to medium-sized project

Demonstrate the ability to guide and coach a new team member or fresher.
