Job Title: J2EE/Java Developer II send resume to: brad.methvin@solvcorp.com

There are a couple of special requirements for the Java developers that I would like to call attention to. We are working in a proprietary environment as we complete the implementation of IBM's WebSphere Product Center. We are a few weeks away from implementing the first phase of this project. We have two smaller phases to build over the next few months to complete the project.
Candidates for the Java Developer positions should be proficient in Java/J2EE and be willing to work in a "Java-like" language for the first 8-10 months. These people should have server side development experience and have done some scripting in Java. The majority of the early effort will be writing scripts to perform workflow and export tasks in Websphere Product Center.

Other significant tasks will include creating custom user screens using the WebSphere Product Center's custom tools. As we near the completion of the WPC implementation, we'll start the next major project which is the replacement of our order management system. The current plan is to implement a J2EE/SOA/Composite Application.
