Broad Street Analytics is a new venture creating ultra-fast data analysis software.
We are looking for smart, capable, and driven programmers. Candidates should be current college students or college graduates with some computer programming experience, strong analytical ability, and an interest in rapidly learning software development skills. Applicants must have an strong desire to make the jump from entry level to expert programming on a software development team.
Our website (broadstanalytics.com) is under development and will offer additional information soon.
Responsibilities
Pair Programmer is an apprenticeship position whose primary responsibility will be to support one of the company's founders - whom will call the Senior Programmer for this description - in the design and implementation of software products. The Senior Programmer will dictate code in python, C++, or other languages to the Pair Programmer.
The ideal Pair Programmer will understand code, allowing the Senior Programmer to describe concepts at a higher level. The Pair Programmer is critical since the Senior Programmer aims to limit his use of the keyboard. Our compensation reflects the importance of this position. Additionally, Pair Programmers will receive extensive one-on-one instruction through this work, and will have the opportunity to contribute to the project as their abilities permit.
Advancement
We are looking for someone to grow with our team. As our programmers gain skills, they will be given increasing responsibility at a higher pay rate. A previous Pair Programmer who worked with our Senior Programmer is now a highly paid programmer at a top hedge fund.
