We’re seeking a fast-learning, self-starting, pun-slinging, Java developer to join our small (but perfectly formed) development team.
You should have five years+ experience developing Java web apps (Tomcat), be well-versed with all the the usual frameworks (e.g. Guava) and have solid grasp of Java 8.
We need more hands-on-deck to effectively scale our systems to support our growing global customer-base; innovative products and services for new markets and opportunities.
We’re a small company, so we’re light on process and naturally agile; however, we absolutely understand and value the importance of having a rock-solid, well-written code-base; so you’ll come pre-loaded with lots of good ideas!
You should be able to work independently and as part of the dev team to maintain existing projects and develop new exciting products and services. You’ll be guiding the implementation, so you should be abreast of new technologies / best practices.
You should have excellent communication skills; don’t worry, there’s no requirement to give a TED
talk – but you should be happy to effectively discuss technical concepts with the team.
