ColdLight Solutions is seeking a Sr Experience Developer to create the next-generation UI for its self-learning software platform, Neuron.

ColdLight Solutions creates next-generation business intelligence products by providing self-learning software and automated decisioning technology. Our flagship product NeuronTM delivers actionable insights and recommendations to users via a Software-as-a-Service model delivering extremely rich WPF experiences that revolutionize how people think about business intelligence. Neuron utilizes powerful predictive analytics engines and artificial intelligence to deliver business users with true insights while simultaneously providing a collaborative workshop to explore the impact of different variables on the business. Neuron then learns from the actions taken to further refine the recommendations to continuously define new markets, retain customers, decrease costs, improve logistics, gain competitive edge, increase sales, and improve customer satisfaction.

Skilled User Experience Developers are an essential part of our software development team. They bring the vision of the designers and product managers to life. They architect and write the code that provides innovative user experiences incorporating off-the-shelf libraries with custom code to make the ambitious designs a reality. Experience Developers deal with ever-increasing complexity as today's user experiences utilize realistic artificial intelligence, believable physics and high-powered 3D rendering mechanisms; the days of building forms are gone. ColdLight solutions believes that developing next-generation user experiences is more akin to video game development by creating software that is as enjoyable to use as it is powerful.
