The work will entail both custom development and the development of extensions to open source Java products commonly used in the Java web development environment.

* Experience in the use of XML, including at least one of the common programming APIs used to manipulate XML.
* Must exhibit an appreciation for and fully cooperate in the advancement of agile development techniques such as: test driven development, incremental development, rapid turnaround, good source code control, and excellent commenting of code as a primary means of communicating knowledge to future developers so that they may work on the source code that is developed.
* Must be energetic and enthusiastic

Desired:

* Prefer a minimum of a BS degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a BS degree in engineering.
* Experience with content management systems (CMS) is a big plus.
* XSL experience is a plus.
* Experience with Microsoft .Net technology and the C# programming language is a big plus (some projects may require the use of .Net technology)
* Experience with test drive development tools such as JUnit is a plus.
* Experience with the Spring framework is a plus.
* Experience with Hibernate or other ORM technologies is a plus
* Large-scale consumer-facing web production experience in fast-paced agency, marketing and/or in-house creative services environments.
* Proven written and verbal communication skills, interpersonal skills, and ability to multi-task.
* Demonstrated ability to function independently and still work well in a "team oriented" environment.

HUGE offers competitive salaries and benefits including 3 weeks paid vacation. 

We’re looking for a Long Term Relationship (LTR): We’re growing quickly and see this position as one that definitely has room to evolve in a direction that suits both our needs and your capabilities/passions.
