Working on some fun new software engineer jobs, exclusively with a client in the Woburn, MA area:

Our client, a well-known, public company in Woburn, MA, with a small development group in MA (15 engineers) has exclusively engaged me to add 5 new engineers to their team.
This is the best of both worlds – great benefits and investment in the tools/technologies you need + bleeding edge “cool” stuff – CLOUD and VIRTUALIZATION and NETWORKING!

We have three groups we are recruiting for:

Web Development – these are folks with OO web skills – Ruby/Rails/RoR/PHP/Python/Perl – any/all mix is fine

Core engine/software engineers – complex, threaded C++ work — should have a heavy duty CS background. More Senior/Principal software engineer.

SQA – manual and automation, with more emphasis on automation. Work in a wireless, networking or cloud software company is a huge bonus.

 

 

So, did you miss me? It was definitely hard to take a break from the hottest job market for software engineers in Boston, MA since 1999… but the confluence of time and opportunity was just too hard to resist.

Among the great memories – hiking the Great Wall of China, sailing in Halong Bag, Vietnam, Cooking with Poo in Thailand, seeing Angkor Wat in Cambodia, visiting 1200 year old Temples in Japan, and eating some of the strangest, but most delicious food I’ve ever seen (including several Michelin award winners!)

So, jet lag in the rearview mirror, I focus my attention on the oodles of clients that need my attention…. and the phone/email never stopped being answered even when +13 hours away.

Looking forward to talking to super software engineers in the Boston area – Ruby/Rails, C#/.NET and Java/J2EE are all still in heavy demand …

Happy New Year! It sure was a whirlwind holiday season – between hosting visitors, charitable activities, and the social scene I’m actually quite excited to be back into 100% recruiting mode.

Often, I hear from old and new clients asking about insight about the market, trends and prognosis for the future. So, here’s a few thoughts to start the new year off:

1. Web skills are hot – a) C#/.NET b) Java/J2EE  and c)Python/Rails/Perl/Open source are about 95% of the position tech matches

2. Boston will still remain “behind” the Silicon Valley consumer-facing tech curve and invest in it’s strengths – enterprise, security, financial and networking.

3. The divergence of the economy will continue – the exceptional and talented to drive the market, and the average and below average marginalized.

4. Visa recruiting will pick-up. Some of the best and brightest entrepreneurs and workers come to the US on a visa and that is a good predictor of the tech economy in 2012.

5. Major VCs and venture-capitalized companies will pull back, a  bit — Darwinism will reign supreme – the best and brightest will rise to the top.

6. Salaries will become a bit more robust/unstuck at all levels.

I’m very excited about 2012, and believe it’s going to be the best year since 2006 to be on the job market for tech talent, and for those looking to recruit top software engineering talent in Boston – time to partner with those “in the know”

Happy Holidays! Really interesting opportunity on my radar:

Our long-time client, with 8 happy hires on board, and a 10+ year relationship with the VP of Engineering (before joining this mature startup), is looking to add a very senior/lead/architect type software engineer with specific expertise in the search space.

 

Mature, profitable, yet still offering equity, our client blends the best of both worlds – the excitement of building new products, in the framework of a happy and productive team, with the financial resources to make it happen!

 

Salary range to 145k + equity + excellent benefits.

The Bivium GroupFor those looking at or considering market trends in the Boston Software Engineer job market – one of the biggest trends that has been emerging for the past 12-18 months has been the Big Data/NoSQL world and all the related open source tools – Hadoop, MapReduce, Pig, Hive, Cassandra etc.

With Yahoo! being the catalyst and Ebay having huge success with their deployment, I’m finding many startups in the Boston, MA area looking at building ground-up, new products with some mix of these technologies.

With the Hortonworks/Eric Baldeschwieler/Cloudera types leading the charge — and data growing exponetnially in the coming years, I see HUGE opportunities for candidates to get into the action.

With that in mind, The Bivium Group has launched a new jobs category to highlight this fast growing area in the Software Engineering jobs market in Boston —- > http://bit.ly/pab66L

PS Boo Red Sox – you got what you deserved with your awful play over the past month… would have been a quick exit if you hadn’t managed the biggest choke ever.

 

It’s been a busy Summer and Autumn is just around the corner…. hopefully the Red Sox get out of their funk soon.

The overall economic recovery is moribund and reminds me of the early 1990s. Without getting into politics, lets just say that both parties are complicit and we have 20 years of bad choices to start correcting. It’s not going to happen overnight, and will be painful.

However, the one, super-shiny, bright light in this economy is the Tech Economy – and nowhere is the engine of job growth burning more brightly than in the Boston, Massachusetts software engineering job market!

As this Boston Globe article points out – http://bo.st/pDnegF the Mass State Unemployment rate is now the lowest it’s been since Feb 2009 – 7.4% with net jobs created of approximately 42000 since the year began.

The market trends for software engineers/tech talent in the Boston area are on the same trajectory as earlier in the year – and are in heavy demand. However, the more experienced (read expensive salaries) candidates, and those without hands-on coding skills are having a much tougher time.

Macro-economic trends are still very favorable for the tech economy, and like everyone — this time of the year is one of the busiest all around.

If you’d like to learn more about the market – hiring for your organization, or to conduct a highly targeted, discrete search – please reach out to me – scott@biviumgroup.com – Boston area’s #1 Software Engineer jobs/recruiter!

Scott Dunlop, The Bivium GroupThis great article in a recent issue of the WSJ – http://on.wsj.com/jdeEIJ  talks about how Consumer starting VC funding in Q1 2011 tripled to $874M from $310M, while the business apps/enterprise side of the world “only” moved up to $2.3B from $1.9B – there has definitely been a pivot in both funding, and interest – although the trend and perhaps  continued achilles heel for the Boston software/tech market has been, until recently, the lack of critical mass of consumer-facing software/web companies.

The trends are changing, and the software engineering job market in Boston is certainly reflecting  that – increasing market value is being assigned to candidate who can work in fast release cycles, and have experience working in a consumer-facing environment,

With the software engineering/tech job market in full swing for over a year, the rest of the Mass job market is following suit – the most recent release from the DETMA is here http://bit.ly/dEIiO9 spells out all the great news
