This Sr. Software Engineer will lead overall software development for the company and its initial product line. In this role, the successful candidate will have ownership of defining the agile software development process used by the company with emphasis on 2 week cycles for improving the code base that is reliable as built when used by a non-expert. Best practices for code documentation will be defined and implemented under your guidance. Since the people you work with and autonomy are the most important part of a job, the Senior Software Engineer will hand-pick the implementation team and their product will be his/her responsibility.
As projects within the company evolve, so will the technical focus of the Senior Software Engineer. Initially, the individual will design the core software architecture to realize Allied Communications’ quality of service (QoS) solutions based on existing algorithms for improving data flow from end users and machine to machine (M2M) on LTE and legacy 2G/3G cellular systems. The Sr. Software Engineer will code a presentation-ready demonstration of the concepts, in part via hands-on coding and in part via supervision of the programming team consisting of a Software Engineer and Associate Software Engineer. The Sr. Software Engineer will implement an efficient approach for code reuse that enables the original demonstration GUI and code base that adapts to many different end-user applications ranging from an Android handset to a smart grid or LTE modem on a consumer appliance.
This individual is expected to have a broad background in software development, including both application-layer software development using standard SDKs, particularly in the mobile arena (e.g. Android, iOS SDKs), in addition to experience doing lower-level software development in the embedded/OS area.

Company Description
Allied Communications is a venture-backed, well capitalized startup company focusing on enabling the next generation of cellular wireless communications. We commercialize early stage research out of Universities and Federal Labs around developing enabling technologies for next-generation mobile networks. We are a small, nimble start up and this position is part of our first ramp up. As early employees of the company, the successful candidate will have an opportunity to help shape the culture of the future organization. We give employees the autonomy to roll their sleeves up in a casual environment to build something real and have a say in technical decisions. Our culture is one of technical innovation, hands-on, self-directed learning, collaboration, and strong work ethic.
