Java Developer
Safari Books Online
Boston

We are looking for a Java software engineer to join our team in building great
and fantastic online references for our wide array of publishing
clients. The websites that we build and support (such as
The [Oxford English Dictionary](http://www.oed.com) and Harvard's [Loeb
Classics Library](http://loebclassics.com)) are in wide and popular use
amongst universities, libraries and other academic institutions; and we take
pride in bringing some of the most venerable sources of classic reference data
into a modern world of online search and responsive design.

  
In this role, you will work with client teams that collaborate hand-in-hand
with our publishing customers to bring the entirety of their knowledge
catalogs into the hands of scholars, students and fellow lovers of
knowledge. You will gain valuable client experience, as
well as enjoy the pleasure of working with a set of colleagues that believe
deeply in the lifelong importance of education and learning.

  
Our development stack is Java, Tomcat, MySQL and
Solr\Marklogic. We ask that applicants have a good
foundation of Java development skills and experience in developing database-
driven web applications. We have a passion for automated
testing and code quality, and expect our colleagues to have similarly high
standards of their work. We welcome diversity and non-
traditional paths into the developer profession, and advocate strongly for
hiring the right person as opposed to the right combination of tech keywords.

  
The bulk of the Client Services team is based in Boston, but we support remote
employees and welcome interest from any US resident. The
women and men of Client Services love working here just as much for their
company of their fellow colleagues as well as the opportunity to build and
improve upon some of the most prestigious encyclopedias and reference
collections that exist today.

  
Safari encourages all of its staff at any skill level to contribute to our
technical blog. See what our developers, project managers, and designers care
