Lead Software Development Engineer (Lead SDE)
Jobster has a huge challenge for experienced senior developers: scale
a fast-growing online recruitment service to support strong growth in
subscribers, corporate customers and rapid development of new
features.
Jobster is an innovative web 2.0 service that takes a distributed,
targeted, and social approach to job search. We believe that the best
job and people search results aren’t going to come from today’s walled
gardens of resume repositories and job boards but from communities,
blog postings, user generated content, and social networks. All of
this is presented in engaging consumer user interface to promote
social interaction.
We’ll be using these techniques in Jobster’s recruiter service to help
companies target, engage and hire. Over 200 premium companies on
annual contracts have validated Jobster’s effectiveness.
You will be the technical leader for a new team which will integrate
our premium employer tools with our jobseeker and transactional job
advertising tools.
Responsibilities:
Leading a team of offshore SDEs through architectural design,
implementation guidance and shipping ethos.
Hands-on ownership of significant product initiatives around our
employer/recruiting tools.
Ongoing leadership for cross product engineering problems such as
performance analysis, operational costs, and service deployment
automation.
Growth potential for project & business leadership as well as
engineering responsibilities.
Requirements:
6+ years experience building scalable web software or services with
3+ years as a development lead. Experience coordinating remote
development teams a plus.
Demonstrated ability to work as part of a small/nimble development
team.
Database development expertise is required.
Must be comfortable with Java/J2EE and Oracle. Knowledge of the
Spring framework, Hibernate, REST services, MySQL and Ruby would be a
huge plus.
Title and salary dependent on experience.
