Experience: Mid Level to Senior
Location: Worcester, MA

Do you want to work at the forefront of technology on complex problems that have never been solved before? Are you interested in being part of a company with a mission to get its software in space? Geisel Software is a fast-growing custom software development company with special expertise in embedded and application software, and a passion for staying ahead of the technology curve. Founded in 2011, we have a long history of delivering tech-forward web/cloud, robotic, IoT, and machine learning solutions. 

With a client list that includes NASA, Teledyne FLIR, Wyss Institute at Harvard University, iRobot, Medica, and more, we are embracing innovation to solve some of today’s toughest technical challenges. We’re looking for a hard-working individual to join our team in Worcester, Massachusetts who thrives on challenge and is a proven self-starter. This position will put your problem-solving skills to the test, whether that means tracking down answers on Google, from a colleague, or building a new solution on your own.

This posting is for a Software Engineer/Software Developer with two or more years of experience in web development, pay commensurate with experience. In this role, you’ll be using web technologies to build interfaces for complex and cutting edge robotic systems. We're looking for someone with a good subset of the skills we work with on a daily basis with a focus more on knowing how software development really works on the web and a passion for learning new development tools, and less a mastery of one specific framework. That means if you're highly motivated and great at writing software, you don't need to have experience in everything we work with, but you should have some good experience with some subset of these technologies.

Come join some of the industry’s most talented software engineers and help us build extraordinary software.

• C++
• Python

Minimum System Requirements
