R&D Software Developer
Protocase is currently seeking two tenacious, organized Software Developers to join its Research & Development team in Sydney (Cape Breton), Nova Scotia. This is an exciting opportunity for individuals who are driven by the underlying goal of making software that the end user actually wants to use.
Protocase's Research & Development (R&D) is a busy department within the company, serving many different internal teams with software development and project engineering on a variety of systems and programs. We are a unique ultra-lean manufacturer that provides the upper echelon of scientists and engineers all over the world with rapid custom manufacturing in 2-3 days.

In addition to Protocase Designer, our talented team of developers maintains several pieces of business software in Java (along with some work on application add-ons in C#) that are essential to Protocase's day-to-day operations and ongoing growth.
You are tenacious when it comes to goals and completing projects. You love writing software, and you love seeing what you create come to life, function, and make users' lives better. You understand with deep clarity that if the end user isn't actually using the software, then your work isn't done.
Your duties will include:
- Developing new features and improving current features for our CAD software or internal business software

- Excellent time-management skills
- Strong analytic skills and problem solving
- Enjoy working in a team environment
- Ability to work independently
- Experience working with legacy software a plus
- CAD experience, mathematical ability, and/or database experience would also be considered assets, but are not required
