Back from a great trip in Asia and ready to recruit great software engineers in Boston

 

 

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 …

“Big Data” as a hiring trend in the Boston Software Engineering Job Market – Hadoop, MapReduce, Pig, Hive, Cassandra, NoSQL

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
