Job Description
Overview
Redgate develops tools to assist businesses and professionals get the most out of their datasets. Our products are intended to benefit everyone, from the smallest, single developer homes to Fortune 500 corporations.We succeed by consistently solving our clients’ problems with ingeniously simple software.
We are searching for experienced software engineers to join one of our product teams. If you enjoy writing amazing code, working in a team, and shaping the software you create, we want to hear from you.
At Redgate, we think that the finest software is created by engaging small teams with a clear goal, freedom to act, and a strong desire to learn.
Development at Redgate
You will be involved in all stages of software development, including consumer research, automated build, and deployments.
Our code is mostly written in C#, however some products also use web technologies like TypeScript and React. We utilise GitHub for source control and TeamCity for CI.Every software engineer is provided with all of the necessary hardware (speed machines and many monitors are normal), as well as the ability to use the software tools that are most comfortable for them.
We have some intriguing technical challenges ahead of us as we continue to expand our database services. Some technological problems to address are how to create tools that operate with multiple RDBMS and how to construct our systems so that they perform as well in the cloud as they do locally. We are transitioning from predominantly Windows-based software to platform-neutral solutions. And these are just a few of the difficult difficulties you could tackle as Redgate grows.
Redgate takes personal development very seriously. We offer regular lightning presentations, open spaces (small conferences led by Redgate engineers), and an annual Down Tools Week. We have a healthy budget for attending conferences and have held our own with all sessions organised by Redgate personnel for the previous three years. We even devote Friday afternoons to personal growth and ongoing learning.
