What you can expect to be doing:

As part of the team you’ll be expected to coordinate with internal product teams to design and develop intuitive web applications using state-of-the-art technologies.  Your work will be the main thing that our Fortune 500 clients and consumer users see when they interact with Vail’s technologies.  You’ll work in small teams out of our office in Deerfield, IL developing applications using the latest Java frameworks, APIs and maybe some other technologies that your expertise or curiosity helps bring to the table.  We encourage you to consistently experiment with new technologies in order to tackle a complex problem from multiple angles.  You’ll design, code, debate, learn and share; you’ll work hard, but you’ll have fun every day.

Essential functions that are expected:

• Design, develop, implement and maintenance/support for web applications based on Spring Boot framework with JDBC/LDAP/Bootstrap/Datatables/Docker


• Design, develop, implement and maintenance/support for backup applications based on Spring Boot framework with JDBC/Docker

To be considered for this position, you must have:

• A Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science/Engineering or a related field, or equivalent experience


• 6+ years of proven success in a software development role


• A strong understanding of object-oriented software development techniques


• Knowledge of Java, Spring Boot framework, Bootstrap/Datatables and HTML/JavaScript/CSS


• Experience with the Linux command line

Ideally, you will also be able to demonstrate:

• Web development experience using MVC frameworks


• Skills with shell scripts, Spring JDBC/SQL, Spring LDAP, Log4j, Apache/Tomcat, Maven, Docker, and vi editor


• Experience with agile development practices


• Experience with TDD and BDD


• Experience with git


• Familiarity with UNIX/Linux/OSX

If you believe that the user interface is the application, can make the complex simple and are curious about technology that helps people communicate more freely and effectively, then you want to be a part of this team.
