Software Solutions Engineer

Pegasystems needs software engineers who appreciate solving client problems more than they like writing code, because our business is growing faster than we can staff up to support customers.    

We formed the company in 1983 around a payment exception processing platform, but we launched a business unit focused on Business Process Management solutions 6 years ago. The BPM unit struggled to make $2M that year, but we quickly gained traction and saw huge market potential. The whole company shifted focus to BPM and rapidly became the industry leader, putting us on a path to target revenue of $1B in 2012. Not a bad run in just 10 years.

Since our customers use our technology to create custom web applications, we need software engineers who value the skills it takes to unlock problems for clients who are creating applications that solve their most fundamental business problems.  Some engineers consider writing elegant code that does something “cool” to be an end-goal; helping a customer implement a workflow solution that saves them 8 figures a year has rewards that carry slightly more resonance.

Support at Pegasystems comes with challenges on par with software engineering roles at most commercial product firms. These are not conventional “tech support” roles because the people calling in are highly skilled software engineers and IT professionals themselves.  You will be working with them to solve non-trivial technical issues they couldn’t crack. These are professionals who take pride in their own problem-solving skills, so consider the inherent complexity of a challenge that compels them to call.  

Many companies offer you the opportunity to learn their products.  At Pegasystems, we have to make sure our technology works in any J2EE environment and integrates with our customers’ other applications, so you’ll be exposed to and can learn multiple operating systems, application servers, databases, messaging technologies, etc.  And that’s in addition to Pegasystems’ industry leading BPM, BRE, and industry vertical solutions.

If you’ve got the engineering and communications skills to work with our technically savvy and demanding customers as they develop and manage their critical business solutions, we’d like to hear from you.  It might be impossible to find an engineering role that has a broader and deeper variety of technical challenges. Take a look at what is being said about us in the industry, and then consider joining the clear leader in its space with the bulk of our growth still well in front of us:
