Job Description
As of Q1 2016, over 200 Chicago-area companies are searching for a “Java Lead.” Many of them are body shops. We are not one of them. We are a software product company.
As you know, “software product development” is what most developers want to do with their skills. At Aginity you are integral to our success, not an afterthought or a “warm body” to be schlepped around the city every few months.
Aginity “Amp” is an analytic environment that consolidates analytic activity under a powerful analytic management platform. We are actively upgrading our software to a SOA architecture with Java at its core. If that is insufficient to entice you, consider this: we are active supporters of data analytics in Hadoop and MPP environments.
We need a creative and dependable Java lead that can help us migrate our platform. Solid software development skills, clear communication, pragmatic solutions and the ability to coach other engineers are the core traits we need from a java lead. Do you want to solve problems and help drive the solutions of a small but growing product company? Aginity is a real company with real customers.
We know you have many choices for employment and we’re ready to compete for your commitment to us.
As a java lead your responsibilities include:
- Write code… good, solid, testable, code
- Help choose the technologies that will enable the next generation of Amp
- Work with our product management team to design and develop Amp features and functionality
- Use stand ups, code reviews, and mentorship to lead a small team of Amp product developers
- Continue growing our capacity as a product organization by extending our platform, continuous integration, test tools, and everything else
Desired Skills and Experience
Required:
- BS in Computer Science or related technical discipline or equivalent practical experience
- 5+ years writing java
- 2 years leading a team of at least 2 other developers
- Experience building a web service API and infrastructure using open source technologies
- Demonstrate the ability to learn new technologies and apply them in practical ways
