Excel Nearshore is looking for an experienced developer with strong expertise in Embarcadero C++ Builder (RAD Studio) or Delphi (VCL Framework) for developing, enhancing, and maintaining Windows desktop applications. The ideal candidate should have extensive hands-on experience working within the Embarcadero RAD Studio ecosystem, strong SQL/database programming skills, and the ability to troubleshoot and maintain legacy desktop applications.
Important Technical Clarification:
This position specifically requires hands-on experience with Embarcadero C++ Builder (RAD Studio) or Delphi (VCL). Embarcadero C++ Builder and Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC) represent two fundamentally different approaches to building native Windows desktop applications. C++ Builder is a Rapid Application Development (RAD) environment built around the Visual Component Library (VCL) and visual application development, whereas MFC is a Microsoft C++ framework that wraps the Win32 API. Candidates whose experience is limited to Microsoft Visual C++ (MFC), Win32 API, ATL, or generic Visual Studio C++ are NOT suitable for this requirement unless they also possess significant hands-on experience with Embarcadero C++ Builder or Delphi.
