My co-worker, co-Java developer, left the company a few weeks ago to pursue an entrepreneurial venture, so we're posting this position here at Hershey Foods, in central PA. This is an awesome company (especially if you like free candy!) in an area that has the best of all worlds. It has beautiful, open countryside, mountains, fishing, hiking, hunting and all the benefits of a rural environment, especially LOW cost of living, plus the urban city benefits of the state capital of Harrisburg just 15 minutes away and larger city benefits such as Baltimore (1.25 hours), Philly (1.5 hours), DC (2.5 hours), NYC (3 hours) and Pittsburgh (3 hours). The ocean (Atlantic City, Ocean City Maryland, Seaside Heights NJ, Rehoboth Beach DE) is only a few hours away (about 3 for each). The Susquehanna River runs right through here for you jet-skiers and river-boaters. Right across the street from us is Hersheypark, a great amusement park with something like 10 roller coasters now that is not only a place to have a blast with the family (or at lunchtime!), but a great, fun, safe place for your kids to work (mine do). Check the URL for Hershey attractions at http://www.hersheypa.com and Hershey Foods at http://www.hersheys.com. We have pro hockey (Avalanche affiliate Hershey Bears), pro soccer (Hershey Wildcats) right here in town and pro baseball (Harrisburg Senators, Expos affiliate) and indoor soccer (Harrisburg Heat) right in Harrisburg. Also tons of concerts (saw Roger Waters, Black Sabbath, Dave Matthews, Fish right across the street and front-row tix for Allman Brothers on 6/20!). We just hosted the Olympic Soccer qualifying tournament last week, again I can see the stadium out the window across the street (USA lost to Honduras in the finals but still qualified). On the tech side, we've standardized on IBM VA Java EE, WebSphere, and WebSphere Studio. This is a chance to get in the game early here. We've been doing Java development since 10/98. It was just me and the other dude (who left for an entrepreneurial venture) and we've just trained 8 of our PowerBuilder folks. We'd like more experience. We're doing server side J2EE Model 2, servlets, JSP, beans, and moving to EJB at some point. Modeling in Rational Rose. So here's the job desc, give me a shout if you're interested.
