Why are we looking?
The Uniface lab is currently working on Uniface 10, our latest version. This includes projects to enhance the development environment, create the next generation of the Uniface (mobile) development capabilities, and building a scalable system for deploying to the cloud. So you see Uniface Ten is much more than just an Integrated Development Environment (IDE). With Uniface you are able to deploy applications from client server, through web and mobile apps for Android and iOS of course those can be in the cloud too. To make all of the above possible, some of the projects range from maintenance, security updates (standing requirement), supporting new platforms from new databases, OS, technologies, in different languages from C, C++, Java, JavaScript, NodeJS, Cordova, Jenkins, Angular, etc.

Uniface is growing and we are transforming our existing code base gradually to incorporate newer technologies for the Uniface product and to operate in modern CI environments. For this reason, we are looking to extend, support and guide our software team with an experienced software architect.

You will maintain the build and test framework. When needed, you will adapt the framework to support new environments, new technologies and new tooling as well as to support change requests from the development team.

You will use the build and test framework to guarantee and deliver successful, well-defined and repeatable daily product integration builds. You will report on build results and status of our code lines, initiating corrective actions where needed, providing advice and help on build issues to the development team.

You will work with our Synergy- and GIT-based code repositories, on platforms like UNIX, Linux, Windows, VMS, and IBM iSeries, using scripting languages like Perl and shell, using tools like Jenkins, Docker, Terraform and Ansible.
