ABOUT THE ROLE
Ascent is looking for a highly motivated, results orientated Senior Backend Developer. As a member of the Development Team you will play an active role in the development and maintains of Windows subsystem software of an automotive recording and calibration embedded device.
The Windows Embedded code is mainly written in C#, but some modules are implemented in modern C++ (C++11), and the solution makes extensive use of COM.

Good familiarity with scripting (batch, PowerShell) would be considered an asset, as would familiarity with Linux OS scripting since part of the device functionalities are implemented in a real-time Linux subsystem.
Quality is of utmost importance and whilst there are a number of QA Engineers in the team, all the developers on the team are expected to have a good understanding of testing methodologies, and shall also contribute to code reviews, static analyser reports and documentation describing the details of their implementations including specific architectural areas.
