Software Engineer - E5/E6 - Desktop

Your Opportunity

As part of the Desktop Engineering Team @Whatfix, you’ll have the opportunity to work on complex algorithms, automation APIs, system level APIs, performance engineering and difficult optimization problems. Every problem we solve on the desktop has the potential to be a patentable idea which is why we have so many patents in our hands. Being a part of the desktop team will give you this opportunity to work on complex problems and solutions that can potentially become patents. Programming language is not a barrier for the engineers in our team, we work on C#, javascript and Java fluently. Some of the solutions needed us to explore Machine learning and that's part of our core product now and is being used by many of our customers.
