Antourage needs someone to join the Product team and act as an system designer, technical strategist, and shepherd of the overall system. As our product develops and the company grows, this job will be performed by several people, but at this stage of development we need a generalist. We need someone who can guide the development progress from our current stage to the next stage, advising on the tradeoffs between quick deployment and long-term scaleability.

DUTIES:

• perform analysis and research in order to make recommendations to the product owner, and participate in decision-making
  
• some high-level design to support the execution of decisions
• code as much as you want, or as little
• maintain communication with all stakeholders.

RESOURCES

You will not be doing this job alone. At present, coordination, project management, and decision-making is being done by a Product Owner who will continue in her role, with you supporting. Designers, architects, and developers will work on wireframes and implementation plans, and you will be invited to refine these plans needed. Development is being done by an offshore development team. They can scale up as needed to get the work done, and they are supported by a project manager on site.

QUALIFICATIONS

The tech stack we are working with is this: the backend is .NET, the streaming is handled by the Wowza Streaming Engine installed on AWS, and the CDN is an issue under review. The Antourage platform is made up of a mobile broadcasting application, a web-based administration system, and an embeddable viewer module with interactive features.

This is our wish list of qualifications:

• 5 years’ experience as a systems developer, designer, or architect, with a CV that shows responsibillity in systems of increasing complexity
  
• demonstrated understanding of system design
• references who are able to talk about your ability to work with others, coordinate across competence silos, and prioritize team communication
• must live in Stockholm. We can’t relocate anyone, and this role can’t be done remotely
• English-speaking. Ukrainian, and Swedish are also assets.

OUR IDEAL COWORKER

You work hard to keep others in the loop with what you’re doing, and ask others what they’re doing so you can keep up. You write documentation and analysis, and draw diagrams and schema, because that’s the best way of giving others the power to get involved in the decisions that affect them. You respect your deep skills and you have lots of shallow ones, including some out-of-left-field interests because sometimes the best ideas come from unexpected places.

HOW TO APPLY

You can send me a CV or a LinkedIn link, and please write me an email. It doesn’t have to be a carefully-crafted cover letter (I’m not hiring writers) but let me know what interests you about the job, what you have to offer, and where you’re looking to grow. Send email to kirsten@antourage.co
