I am working with a small software company in the city and they are on fire! My client has had double digit revenue growth for each of the past 5 years and they were recently named one of the fastest growing privately held high-tech companies in the whole U.S. by multiple publications.
About 1 year ago, the engineering team split into 2 teams – a Core Team and an Advanced Development “R&D-like” team. The Advanced Development Team is hiring 2 engineers (which would grow that team to 5/6). They are developing the next generation of the company’s flagship product as well as developing proof-of-concepts and prototypes for F500 customers who have come to them with a high level of interest in their technology.
This team is comprised of a great group of guys who are friendly, talented, and motivated. Everyone gets along well with each other and there is a great team vibe. Also, the other very positive aspect regarding this opportunity is the technology involved. Yes, they are using the latest Java / JavaEE technologies and frameworks, but they are also using groovy / grails, gwt, etc. and looking into things like Scala, Rails, Flex, etc.
One of the open roles is for a Senior / Principal Engineer.
The other role is for a Systems Architect. So everything below applies, but they also want someone with experience in clustering tomcat, clustering messaging servers, and/or experience in scaling a complex large system. Basically, they are looking for someone with strong technical chops who can also help build their next generation infrastructure. Someone who can help figure out what they need for hardware / software and what needs to be built in-house, and what 3rd party vendor packages should they consider / evaluate, etc. This is a VERY IMPORTANT role and their highest priority.
Skills and Experience:
At least a B.S. in Computer Science.
Strong Java knowledge and experience.
Experience developing applications end-to-end. Able to answer technical questions on the UI, server-side, and databases.
Some experience with the following: Spring, Hibernate, Java 5 / 6, ajax, Rest / Soap, GWT, etc.
Any Groovy / Grails is nice to have, but is not required.
Important – must be a technology enthusiast. They all love learning and are very involved in the local Java / tech community.
Experience level isn’t as important if you meet the above requirements. We could hire a mid-level engineer or a senior / principal engineer.
This is a full-time, on-site role. No Contractors, 3rd Parties, Consulting Firms, Outsourcing Firms, etc. Only candidates currently authorized to work in the U.S. without sponsorship will be considered at this time.
