Our Space

Our office in the heart of downtown Philadelphia.

Want to work with us?

We're always looking for curious, clever folks excited to crack open fresh product design & development challenges.

Senior Software Engineer

Are you passionate about creating software for consumer products and medical devices? We’re looking for an experienced software engineer to design and develop applications for a variety of operating systems and environments.

SKILLS: C/C++/C#, Python, Java, Node, GCC, VS, Xcode, Eclipse, Android & iOS, web development, cloud infrastructure, SCRUM/Agile leadership, design documentation

Your Team

At Bresslergroup, we are a motivated team of thinkers, makers, and problem solvers. We challenge and inspire each other every day. BGers are curious, clever, and confident, and we look for candidates who are all those things and more. Our firm is technically grounded, so that we can take any idea — no matter how complex — and make it a reality, while simultaneously keeping our designs simple and elegant. With a range of disciplines under one roof, we work in multidisciplinary teams whose combined research, creative, and technical expertise add value throughout a collaborative product development process. This is how we deliver reliably innovative solutions to our clients.

Your Purpose

As a Senior Software Engineer, you work alongside other engineers, designers, and researchers in a dynamic development environment. You participate in the daily activities of the Electrical Engineering team, creating meaningful solutions to challenging product design problems. You are part of our internal software development team, whose primary focus is to design, develop, enhance, and maintain source for a wide variety of applications for our clients. You also work independently and take a lead role in testing and debugging for our clients’ products.

Key Responsibilities

Develop mobile, web, and desktop applications and their accompanying infrastructure and integrations on a variety of operating systems, cloud providers, and environments.
Write and perform unit tests, performance tests, and end to end tests for verification of features of our clients’ products.
Create and maintain source code repositories, code pipelines, and lifecycle deployment process along with product documentation.
Work with Project Managers, Electrical Engineers, and Interaction Designers to move through technical roadblocks and contribute to problem solving and design efforts.
Act as an interface point between Electrical Engineering, Interaction Design, and any external resources in a software project manager capacity.
Lead performance and reliability analysis of prototypes before presenting as final deliverables to clients.

More About You

You have at least a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related discipline (advanced degrees are a plus). You have at least 10 to 15 years of experience as a Software Developer, primarily in product development.

You have worked in a consulting environment for at least 3 years, and you are familiar with how they operate.

You are clever.

You have a true passion for software in all forms, as evidenced by your career and education choices. You have experience with, and an understanding of the software development lifecycle and Agile methodologies. You are fluent in the C/C++/C#/Python/Java/Node programming languages, and the associated tool chains (GCC, VS, Xcode, Eclipse, etc.). You have a solid understanding of data structures, algorithms, and various software design patterns. You have experience with Android, iOS, and web development. You understand cloud infrastructure and are capable of building applications that scale and are highly available. You can generate requirement and design documentation.

Your background shows that you also have experience with UI and front-end development, which will be helpful in your work with our interaction designers. You understand responsive design and work with interaction designers to create optimal experiences on all screen sizes. You have experience working in a team management capability as a SCRUM leader or Agile team leader. You have excellent writing, presentation, and interpersonal skills — all needed for frequent client interactions.

You are curious.

You like to explore new territories and learn from others. You can successfully lead clients through the full software development process, from ideation and specification, through development, debug, and delivery. You have a keen understanding of software development tools, and are constantly finding ways to improve them. You often find yourself exploring outside of your core competency with products such as Adobe Creative Cloud, Arduino, Raspberry Pi, Beaglebone.

You are confident.

You are confident in your technical abilities and can push back on client assumptions to create excellent products. You are comfortable with ambiguity and complexity, because sometimes that allows for the most unique, unexpected design solutions. You want to work in an environment where things move quickly, and you are happy to adapt as situations shift. You can work onsite in our Philadelphia office as needed and are willing to travel occasionally for client work.
