Headquarters: Paoli, Pennsylvania, United States
We are a diverse, fully distributed team from around the world, working toward a shared vision to raise the standard of trust online.
Join our team as a Senior C# Developer to help shape the technology that powers DuckDuckGo's products.
As part of our growing team, you will collaborate with team members at all levels to identify and close major gaps in our products. Examples of projects you might work on include: development of consumer privacy applications on Windows, including building new features, driving improvements, and owning product maintenance.
We empower our team to be self-directed and self-motivated in their work. If you'd thrive in that environment, and our core values resonate with you -- build trust, question assumptions, and validate direction -- you'll fit right in!
What you will do:
- Lead projects from proposal through postmortem, assessing vague problems, proposing high impact solutions, and executing them against a set of success criteria.
- Help develop consumer privacy applications on Windows
- Be an expert at the company in C# and the Windows application development ecosystem.
- Step up to resolve product issues, large and small.
- Own major application features and take responsibility for their maintenance and improvement over time.
- Collaborate with peers remotely during product brainstorms, technical design discussions, and code reviews.
- Write pragmatic, performant, and testable code that works consistently across devices.
What we are looking for:
- Advanced level of .NET core expertise.
- Advanced level of WPF expertise
- Experience working for at least one large, consumer-facing Windows desktop application, serving hundreds of thousands or millions of users.
- Experience participating in technical architecture decisions for complex products.
- Deep understanding of MV* concepts.
- Comfortable learning new languages and ideas.
- Experience collaborating with product/design to build polished consumer-facing products.
- Exceptional project management skills.
- Creative problem-solvers and risk-takers. You like to take initiative to push projects forward and know when to involve others.
Other things to know:
While we leverage specific job titles for hiring purposes, we do not use them internally. Instead, we follow our own professional levels, with expectations for each level clearly defined across several dimensions.
We are a small, remote team distributed across time zones, and we rely on a variety of communication tools throughout the day. You should feel comfortable with the intricacies of this type of work situation.
Sometimes we meet up! Expect to travel at least two times a year: once for our all-hands meetup and again for a team retreat (each ~4-5 days).
We believe in a focused approach to collaboration, where individual team members work on a single top priority at a time, each supporting larger, company-wide objectives. This philosophy serves to impact our vision to raise the standard of trust online.
Our work philosophy centers on empowered project management. All team members have opportunities to run projects.
Transparency supports individual and team success at DuckDuckGo. We encourage everyone to participate in areas of interest throughout the company. Anyone and everyone can (and should) ask questions and offer feedback about our products and internal projects.
We strive to exemplify our values (build trust, question assumptions, and validate direction) in everything we do.
While this is a full-time job and we offer a flexible work arrangement with no core hours, expect an average commitment of 40 hours per week.
We support professional development of our team members through career advisory and a learning stipend, reinforcing our culture of growth and skill-building.
DuckDuckGo does not work with any recruiting agencies or services. Instead, we work with each candidate one-on-one throughout a unique hiring process that we've built to reflect our company culture.
