Experienced Windows Developer Wanted to Help Us Update and Expand Several Windows Apps

We're a small software company focusing on delivering high quality digital marketing tools for small to medium sized businesses. We're selling several Windows apps, mainly in the areas of SEO, Niche Research and Keyword Research. We're now looking for a reliable and EXPERIENCED Windows programmer who can help us update and expand those apps over time. We need someone who is smart, proactive and above all has a lot of experience with Windows applications and with the specific challenges we face in Niche and Keyword Research. Your job will be to work with our highly committed development team to update and expand our apps over time. Skills you absolutely must have - - Experienced with C#, SQL Server and Web Scraping - Ability to use Appdata to store any program data - Ability to deliver packaged installable according to our specifications - Capable of multi-tasking - We have several different applications already on the market. Some of them need updating, and we also want to enhance the existing apps over time. We'll make priorities clear but we want to work with you for the long term, and we're not looking for someone who wants to work on the same app for months at a time. - Self motivated - You'll be working remotely and trusted to deliver on your part of the project. So if you need someone to watch over your shoulder and keep you on track every few hours, this isn't for you. - Detail focused and able to solve problems - We're not just looking for someone who can write a few lines of code. You'll come across challenges, e.g. in web scraping, and it will be up to you to find good and robust solutions for our customers. - Ability and willingness to look into customer problems and fix them. We have a great support team, so you will not be directly involved with support. However, from time to time a customer has an issue that requires a programmer, and we expect you to deal with those problems in a professional way and fix them for our customers if necessary. - Decent English language skills - We don't expect you to be a native speaker, but your English needs to be good enough to communicate in written and spoken form without any problems, or without constant misunderstandings and double explanations from our side. Skills we'd like you to have but aren't essential - - SEO and other digital marketing experience - Our apps automate lots of interesting digital marketing concepts. We're happy to teach you but if you already know what you're doing then you'll have a big head start. Still with us? Fantastic, let me take a moment to explain what we offer in return - - A team of smart people to work with - Interesting projects that will challenge your skills - Freedom to get on with the job - We're not some big company with dozens of people between you and a finished application, you'll report directly to the COO and be trusted to deliver - Flexible working hours - We have people working from all over the world so we've developed systems to cope with that. As long as you can be online for the important few conversations (like project briefs) the rest of it is down to you to schedule Sounds like what you're looking for? Great. Please let us know what your experiences with C# and Web Scraping are, and send us some examples of your work so we can see what you're capable of. We'd much rather see a couple of projects and some description on what part you played in them than a list of 200 URLs. If we like what we see, we'll be in touch for an initial interview. If that goes well we'll hire you for a trial and give you a small sample project to see what you've got. Ideally, we're looking for a long-term relationship where you'll be working for us on different Windows apps in the future. Final note: We don't want to work with people who can't be bothered to read instructions. Please start your application with "Hi folks" so that we know you've read the whole text. Otherwise we'll just reject your application. :)
