A very fast growing, high volume personal finance company/website in NYC is looking for very good Java J2EE Developers.  Please send your resume to rick@expanxion.net

Java Developer

Objective:
This company is looking for a sharp mid-level Java developer to join its growing technical team in New York City. We need the best of the best, someone who has never met a problem they couldn’t solve, the kind of programmer whose pride keeps her awake until she finds that perfect bit of code (or dirty little hack) to get the project back on track. We need someone that loves to write elegant code but even more than that, loves to make things WORK. We need a coder who’s still growing in the profession but already sees things through the eyes of an architect – someone who thinks about the big picture no matter the task. We need a developer that always codes with performance, scalability, maintainability and concurrency in mind. We need a hacker who reads code like a book and enjoys digging into unfamiliar source, someone who can debug another’s code as easily as they can debug their own. In short, we’re looking for you!

Environment:

You’ll be working a maturing start-up where everywhere still digs in like it’s day one. Here you’ll be moving at the kind of pace you love: fast. The team is still relatively small, so don’t worry about getting pigeon-holed here – you’ll be expected to wear many hats and encouraged to contribute in all phases of development and architecture. Everyone here is extremely talented and a growing expert in their field. At this company you’ll never have to feel like you’re the only one giving it everything you’ve got!

Responsibilities:

• Work with the technical team on the development of the
  website’s application platform.
• Collaborate with senior technical team members on design and
  architecture of new features, feature enhancements and general
  improvements to the application.
• Participate in the overall maintenance of the application, including
  bug fixes, performance
  enhancements and runtime production support.
• Write clean, well-documented and unit-tested code.
• As needed, generate technical documentation for various aspects of
  the application.
• Work with front-end (UI) developers to integrate server-side code
  with UI artifacts.

Experience/Skills:

• At least 4 years experience designing enterprise web applications on the Java/J2EE stack.
• Strong expertise with J2EE technologies and frameworks, particularly Spring, Hibernate, JSP and JSF, but with the ability to code a straight servlet or straight JDBC.
• Expertise in writing database-backed applications, strong knowledge of relational database concepts like SQL, indexes and constraints, transactions and object-relational mapping. Specific experience with MySQL a plus.
• Strong familiarity with the J2EE development environment, including containers like Tomcat or JBoss, Ant or Maven-based build processes, JUnit and IDEs like Eclipse or NetBeans.
• Strong understanding of core software concepts of object-oriented programming, algorithms, data structures and design patterns.
• Familiarity with *nix, including basics like grep, tail, ssh, scp, netstat, etc. Preference will be given to vi jockeys and ssh tunnelers.
• Excellent communication skills, ability to convey ideas and suggestions across multiple parties in the company
• Experience in, and eagerness for, working in the rapid-fire environment of a young, dynamic startup.

Attributes:

• Passion for building high-quality web applications
• Self-starter with the ability to work under pressure on multiple tasks
• High energy and a positive attitude in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial, start-up environment
• Bachelorʼs degree in Computer Science or related field, or equivalent work experience. You should be able to explain big O notation without looking on Wikipedia!
• Excellent communication skills, ability to convey ideas and suggestions across multiple parties in the company.
