Job: Java Developer
From TriUPA member Boyce Byerly:
Our company has recently come up with the funding to hire a new developer. I wanted to go through the grape vine to see who’s out there before using the regular mechanisms. Anybody available or know something you’d recommend? Contact Boyce Byerly, bbyerly@procourse.com.
Our company, Capital Analytics, is a very small company that specializes in business analytics. Basically, we have a product that imports large amounts of corporate data from spreadsheets and possibly other sources, does some fairly complex statistics on it, and then produces an executive-friendly report that provides answers in basic financial terms. The sort of questions it might answer are: “Did my training program pay for itself? Can you give me a demographic description of who benefitted the most? Which of my marketing programs should be combined together or given separately?” Currently, we have a version of the software, which we use in-house to service clients. A second version, with much more functionality, that will be licensed to clients, was begun but not finished. We now want to finish that second version. The product is a Java Swing Applet that retrieves data from Excel Files and stores in in XML files. You will need to be proactive in helping work out the architecture and tools used to finish the project.
Immediate opening for senior Java Developer. Must be familiar with SWING, mechanisms for parsing and generating XML/XSLT, and JDBC connectors. Pluses include expertise with CVS; Eclipse IDE; a fair ability for mathematics, especially statistics; the ability to write and communicate clearly; web site design and web server maintenance; and both Linux and Windows. This is a small organization and the ability to flexibly pick up new technologies and be useful in a number of different ways is highly prized. Database Administration abilities, or knowledge of Arabic language cultures would be big plusses.
Thorough background in Object-Oriented design expected. Independent contractors may apply. Job offers flexibility and challenge for the right person, ability to choose your tools, a real office, and stock options in growing company.
