Java Web Application Developer

This position will be different from any other you'll find. These are the Top 5 reasons we think you'll want to work here:

5. New development.

Most of the time will be spent on new development.

4. Project-based work.

Some projects last only a week. The longest project might last 6 months. Most are somewhere in between. If you're the type to become bored from monotonous work, you'll love the variety here. Some people have to get a new job every 2 years to keep interested. Most of us have been here 10+ years. You won't get bored here!

3. New technologies.

We are constantly researching and employing new technologies and open source projects. We are not stuck in old technology.

2. Good people to work with.

Simply put, working with good people is fun. We only have good people here. (We might be biased, but we think it's true.) We are a small team of strong developers and staff. If you like to work with smart people, this is the place for you.

1. This is a small software company, offering the best of all worlds.

Because we are small, we are entrepreneurial. But we aren't just trying to keep our heads above water either - we've been a successful business for 28 years. As a software company, we have internal software projects and we have consulting/client-facing projects. Thus, there's a lot of variety. Further, our customers work in many industries. So one day you'll learn about the food distribution business and the next day you'll learn about police applications. Finally, we are small enough that everyone's work matters. If you want to hide somewhere, please don't apply. If you want your work to matter, get in touch with us.
