Jobster is an innovative web 2.0 service that takes a distributed, targeted, and social approach to job search.

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.

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.
