Datalogics is a leading provider of PDF document technologies, document composition and typesetting solutions. Our software development team is growing, and you may be the ideal person to join us.
Responsibilities of the Software Engineer are varied and may include but not be limited to:
- Designing and implementing user interfaces for various applications
- Coding and debugging across a variety of products and programming environments
- Working with a gifted team of software people on product design, implementation and maintenance
- Demonstrating exceptional drive and curiosity in expanding your knowledge of programming and software development
- Occasional interruption to save Townsville from whatever’s threatening civilization at the moment
Sometimes all in the same day. Expect a variety of interesting problems and wide latitude in crafting solutions.
Absolute requirements: We require experience with one or more Microsoft .NET-based (C#, VB.NET, C++/CLI, etc.) languages and experience in C++ software development, and we require experience with software development in Windows and at least one additional environment - Mac or UNIX environments, embedded systems, VMS, mainframes, whatever.
We prefer candidates with:

- Experience designing, prototyping and implementing graphical user interfaces
- Software development experience across a variety of languages, operating systems and environments
- Experience writing and debugging multithreaded applications

- A history of contributions to Open Source or Free Software efforts: whether in code, interface or documentation improvements
This position is ideal for the strong developer who has several years of professional software development experience and is looking to take his or her learning to the next level, the support or sales engineer looking for a pure technical position, or the highly motivated and skilled recent graduate.
Datalogics offers a competitive package of compensation and benefits. However, we do not offer any of the following:
- Fourteen hour workdays
- Arbitrary deadlines conjured up from the abyss of illogic
- A cot with monogrammed sheets to keep under your desk
- Weekly trips to visit with yet another irate client
- Boundless micromanagement
- Endless bureaucracy to prevent anything from ever getting done
- That seductive big-company feel
This position is based at our offices in downtown Chicago, and is not a remote or telecommuting position. Occasional travel and interaction with clients is required. Local candidates are preferred. Datalogics is an equal opportunity employer.
Founded in 1967, Datalogics has been a leader in document typesetting and publishing software solutions for over 40 years. As an Adobe(R) Portfolio Company we are a leading source for Adobe PDF technologies and solutions.
