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.

For 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!

This 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
Hiawatha Bray, the great tech writer of the Boston Globe quoted me today in a story about the job market for recent grads in the Boston, MA area – http://bo.st/gXysPY
Although much of the interview wasn’t published, the salient points are definitely there — the market is hot, and good candidates are in demand. For the clients I work with, seeking software engineers/web developers in the Boston area – top grads (good internship, co-op, or strong autodidactic) comp sci/computer science experience or graduates of schools here in the Boston area such as:
MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) , Harvard, Northeastern, Tufts, WPI (Worcester Polytechnic Institute), Tufts, Brandeis, University of Massachusetts Amherst etc are definitely in the driver’s seat. Entrepreneurial candidates (always close to my heart) from schools like Babson, Bentley or really almost any other school where you pair your Computer Science skills with a strong personal track record of hacking/coding (github, personal webpage, active in a local tech community at a young age) are just as in-demand.
However, it’s not just having the degree, it’s having the ability to back-up your degree with real world skills that make you a great hire:
1. Communication skills – can you clearly articulate your skills, abilities, and interests? Will you work well with both technical and non-technical audiences?
2. Good team-player – there is little tolerance or room for people who cannot fit into a team environment.
3. Horsepower – you can show you can quickly pick-up new skills.
4. Tenacious – candidates who will keep working on a problem and attacking it from different angles.
5. Capacity to Learn – + a willingness to be a ‘sponge’ and absorb – your first job is all about learning/growing and building your career – are you willing to do the hard work to learn?
So, as a top 2011 Computer Science grad, the world is your oyster – it’s not a matter of whether you can find a job as a software engineer here in the Boston area, it’s whether you can find the BEST FIT for you (and maximize your time and value)– there are scores of companies hiring — you want someone in your corner who can help navigate the many pitfalls.

RED HOT Stealth startup, ground floor – Ruby/RoR/Python/Java/Ecommerce/DB – Cambridge, MA
Visit our website to view more of Boston’s Best Software jobs:
http://www.biviumgroup.com/search.php – Jobs are updated frequently so please check back regularly.
You:
Employed, likely at a startup (or have in the past), relatively happy, current with high-end real world web 2.0 skills (Rails/RoR/Python/Django/Java etc). You LOVE to code just for the fun of it. You eat, sleep, breath tech/software.
There’s no doubt you can find a *job* – but, who cares about just another job? I’ll admit, I can get jaded with another *me-too* company, but, every once in awhile, comes an opportunity I DO get excited about… And this is one of them:
“Do you have a pattern of contributing in a consistent & meaningful way to startups that have seen a success?”
“Does you have a github account? Does you contribute to open-source projects? Can you demonstrate that you’re a great, cutting-edge engineer that’s fit for a ground-floor startup?”
“Do you have experience in mobile Web, iPhone, Android with RoR/Java/Linux backend and/or online/ad tech/e-commerce domain experience? ”
A BIVIUM EXCLUSIVE – location in the Cambridge/Arlington, MA area
Working directly with the Founder and CEO of this stealth startup who is about close their first A round in the high single millions. They already have clients lined up to buy their product. Building the team from the ground up – multiple needs.
All prior startups these guys have worked on have been sold/acquired for strong exits – not just a small sale, but massive sales Without an NDA can only say *mobile* and *e-commerce* * think transformative opportunity.
Openings – at least 7 as the team is empty — building from the ground up!
a) Hiring likely is a mix of Ruby/RoR/Python/Django/AJAX web apps – end to end.
b) Need a mobile hacker – J2ME/iOS/whatever
c) Need a Lead/Architect who has E-Commerce as their main background ( could be Java/J2EE or web apps with Ruby/RoR)
d) Need a Data Geek – Hadoop/Machine-Learning/ETL, profile info etc must understand big data.
e) DevOps person
f) Any super sharp/smart candidates (from fresh grads on up to Architect) who didn’t neatly fit into the first batch of needs – but have startup experience, and want to do it again! Should have code on github, outside coding interests etc
Big equity play here as you’re in at the groundfloor, but you*ll still get a market-rate salary as we all have bills to pay (think 60s to 130s)
We’re primarily looking for A+ players, the top 1-5% folks who have a job right now, but are looking to get in on the ground floor of something truly unique
Sounds interesting? Want to sign an NDA and learn more?

I have been in the technology industry for over 20 years. I have worked within several startups including positions such as Vice President of Operations, General Manager and Founder at three technology based startups – including my own consulting firm from the late 80s and into the 90’s. I left the startup world to join one of New England’s oldest and largest recruiting agencies where I assisted in the meteoric growth of a new office in a new geography. My performance over the past few years has placed me in the top 1% of National Recruiters. My philosophy is simple – I am a career partner to both our candidates and clients.

Great debate here on the the lack of merit to the now ubiquitous whiteboard session & trivial code for Software Engineer/developer job interviews http://ow.ly/4v5YZ
It’s definitely been my experience that a) Many clients love these sorts of whiteboarding/code sessions and b) There has been fairly low correlation between a good hire and these sessions.
I *do* believe the very best way to evaluate code skills is to have a software engineer/developer bring their own code and talk it through — putting a candidate on the spot to recall a CS 101 detail or to figure out another tic-tac-toe puzzle (thanks Google!) is a great sifting mechanism to get to more good nuggets — but, in this recruiting environment, could turn off more good candidates than it attracts!

In some tech circles, “Indian outsourcing” is a dirty world, as a citizen of the world, avid traveler, and person who has had the privilege of working and living literally on all continents on earth, I can say that the challenges that the US, and specifically for my readers in Boston face — in terms of lack of qualified candidates in software engineering/technology is repeated everywhere. Just read this article on the Wall Street Journal – http://on.wsj.com/h5ByCR — I was recently in India and traveled extensively, and was impressed and appalled at the same time – there is no doubt that India has come a long way, and yet has so much further to go. What impressed me most while there, was the incredible desire for so many to get educated, and grow. What scared me, was visiting some of the rural villages in the South, where basic supplies such as pencils, notebooks and chalk were in short/non-existent supply.
India was a breathtaking country of contrasts and I count many of my best memories from my travels there. As one of the so-called BRIC countries, I suspect India’s golden age of education, and thus job growth is laid out in front of us right now.

Continued signs of the market being red-hot are the VC funds themselves raising big, big rounds for their funding- Accel’s China fund raised 1.3B and Bessemer raised 1.6B their biggest ever. Time to close out the funding pools was down from 6 months to 10 weeks! Surely a sign of more investments to come over the next three quarters in 2011 — the Boston Software Engineer market will absolutely benefit from this new funding – full article here http://on.wsj.com/gRRViX

I pride myself on offering a comprehensive interview coaching prep system for candidates to give themselves significant and tangible advantages over their competition. My results speak for themselves – candidates repeatedly tell me that my insight and interview tips many times are the deciding factor over competing candidates.
So, a recent interview debrief that didn’t go so well (despite the prep materials) reminds me of how critical showing enthusiasm and interest during the interview process is.
In short – this candidate only “warmed up” during the tail-end of the interview — asking good questions, giving off positive energy/vibes, and generally was more “closed off” until late in the interview. Earlier in the 4 hr block of time, this candidate didn’t really ask any good “buy-in questions” – the sorts that show you’ve thought about the company and want to learn more about the products, business & market space.
Predictably, the client came back with the open-ended question/feedback “Very smart person, technically talented. However, the candidate really seemed to lack curiosity & interest in what we do.”
More specifically the feedback from the interview was “Does this candidate have any interest in what we do and working for us?”
Unfortunately, or fortunately, we have a chance to make sure this candidate gets a “2nd chance” as our rapport and communication lines are open to the client company.
However, you don’t always get a 2nd chance – so, remember, you are “On” from the first moment you start interviewing – show off your smarts, energy, and enthusiasm with everyone you meet – ask good questions — never, ever pass when some asks you “Do you have any questions” – the lack of questions = the death knell to your interview!
