• Strong technical background.  You’re not afraid to dig through log files, read through API specs or whiteboard concepts with the engineers. BS in Computer Science, or comparable experience, is preferred.
• Experience with the software development lifecycle.  You won’t be expected to write code, but you’ll need a deep understanding of how software is built and delivered.  Experience with writing software for mobile devices or managing open source projects is a big plus!
• Strong analytical and communication skills.  You should be able to breakdown a complex technical solution and explain it to your grandma.
• Excellent customer-facing abilities.  We’ll make you the face of a strategic and visible developer ecosystem.  You’ll tell them why our product is awesome, and get their input on how it can solve their biggest problems.
• A hunger to grow and build out your skillsets.  Be prepared to tackle any challenge, study new media strategies and become an expert on something brand new quickly.
• This is an ideal position for a modern techie that loves social media and new community tools that’d rather see the big picture than try and get code to compile.

You Are:

• Passionate about technology and the user experience.
• A resourceful, motivated, driven self-starter.
• Able to work in a fast paced, dynamic environment.
• Someone who “gets” mobile.  You understand why  iOS and Android have blown up recently and you know that the potential of these platforms has only begun to be realized.

At VeriFone in the SMB Commerce group:

• You’ll join a fast growing company that is changing the way retailers do business.
• Experience immediate gratification. See your hard work in action in months, not years.
• We are a market leader in the mobile POS and payment processing space with an impressive roadmap and plans for world domination.
• You’ll have full latitude to get the job done as you see fit.  We’re looking for people who meet goals and solve problems, not people who follow orders.
