Job Description
Here at Confluence we build software products that help investment companies optimize and control the information they need to manage their investment products. We are a client-focused company and we believe the best way to bring the great software to our clients is to hire great people to our team. Our development teams are fast-paced, highly motivated, highly skilled, and empowered to do whatever is needed to just get things done. While we are located on the North Shore in Pittsburgh, PA we welcome great people to our team from anywhere in the world.
We are seeking Software Engineers at an Intermediate and Senior level. Demonstrated success rather than years of experience is used to differentiate roles within our technical ladder.
