Date posted: June 26, 2008
Location: Durham, NC
Job type: Full-time
Industry: Computer Software
Description:
Do you want to help build a great company and product? BlueStripe Software is a Sand Hill Road VC funded enterprise systems management startup looking for a Lead UI Engineer to build innovative GUI products. We take UI seriously - we read Tufte, hire visual design consultants, and spend the extra time to make a table of line charts sortable.
As Lead UI Engineer, your chief responsibility will be to design and build foundational UI technology for our current product and planned product line. You will work on a daily basis with our highly skilled team of Interaction Designers and Product Managers. You will strive for simple, coherent designs at the code and interface level. You will build and test your own code - no architecture astronauts allowed! We're a startup, so you'll be wearing lots of other hats, too. Depending on your background and interests, you might work on product definition plans, assist with partnering activities, help ramp up our technical field force, or write some technical documentation.
You must have experience building complicated, dynamic user interfaces. Bonus points for any systems management background. You must have experience with Java and Swing. You'll also need to have completed a BS in Computer Science.
We offer salary and equity compensation, family medical and dental coverage, and a 401(k).

The Mission: The Bluestripe mission is to eliminate the roadblocks and guesswork of migrating and managing transactional applications on virtual server platforms.
The Solution: The BlueStripe solution will enable IT staff to manage performance of applications by fact versus conjecture when virtualization is involved. We provide the real map of the transactional application, its connections and dependencies, physical and virtual, as well as measuring the health and performance of the flow of transactions through the IT infrastructure.
