Well funded, early stage software startup seeks an experienced and dedicated software engineer to join their small core engineering team. As part of the core engineering team you will work closely with the founders in a fast paced challenging environment to help shape the technology landscape and culture of their core product.

We are working directly with the Co-Founders and VP of Engineering.
The right candidate will have strong concurrent programming skills in Java that was part of a real-time or near real-time software system.

Those interested and truly qualified should send their resume to Jamie LeBlanc, Co-Founder & Managing Partner of The Bivium Group via jamie@biviumgroup.com with “Concurrent Java” in the Subject. Candidates for the specific opportunity must be U.S. Citizens or have Perm Residency / Green Card. Candidates should also be local to the Boston / Cambridge area or be willing to commute daily (every work day) to the office. Out of state candidates will not be considered, unless experience is absolutely dead-on and could relocate reasonably quick.
I’m sorry, but only those who are seriously qualified for this specific opportunity will be contacted. Otherwise, your resume will remain confidentially on file and will be considered as new opportunities arise. In all cases, resumes will never be submitted or distributed without the candidate’s explicit ‘go-ahead’ which only comes after a particular opportunity has been discussed. You cannot become a ten year veteran in the Boston Software Recruiting industry (like myself and Bivium’s other co-founder) by matching buzz words and slinging resumes I assure you.
