Software Development Engineer at Limelight Development (Seattle, WA)

About Us

Are you interested in working on a brand new product in a billion dollar industry?

Do you thrive in team-based, collaborative environments where everyone contributes to product design?

Would you like to work in an agile, well-funded, start-up environment?

Limelight Development is a small company with an enormous amount of room for opportunity and growth. Our work environment is fun and professional, with a focus on turning out a high quality product. As a recent spin off/startup from a very successful and well established services company, we provide a benefit package that puts other start ups to shame, including medical, dental and vision for employee and dependents, generous vacation and other paid time off, 401K with match, parking, bus pass, gym memberships, and more.

We are looking for outstanding, high-quality people who are interested in working on an exciting V1 project. It is an enterprise-class solution that will be used in large-scale IT environments. We are creating an innovative product that captures and secures critical information in a forensically sound manner. This information is used in legal cases, security investigations, corporate governance, compliance, and risk management. If you like tough technical challenges and the opportunity to innovate then you will enjoy working at Limelight Dev.

If you want to join a friendly team that is focused on quality and getting things done, then this is the place for you.

Who we need

Limelight Development is looking for remarkable software development engineers to join our quickly-growing enterprise software company. This is not your typical development environment.

So if you enjoy working with smart, highly technical people, love writing code and have a deep passion for writing rock solid solutions to tough problems, then you’ll fit right in.

• Research and learning new technologies and unfamiliar systems independently in order to identify limitations and find weaknesses/vulnerabilities
• Work effectively in a multi-tasking and highly dynamic environment
• Continually improve knowledge of new technologies in the industry
• Be highly involved in improvements and the direction of our product

What we are looking for

• Strong design and coding skills. No, really. We are only looking for developers with a deep understanding of how software works.
• Solid background with CS fundamentals in data structures, algorithm design, problem solving, and distributive computing
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills
• Demonstrated analytical and investigative, problem-solving skills and the tenacity to work to the resolution of difficult tasks
