5 Oracle Database Developers in NYC

Posted by: "Keith Bogen" keith.bogen@yahoo.com   hrslugger2002

Sun Oct 11, 2009 9:15 pm (PDT)



OR Dev, 5 positions, NYC
Strong fundamentals (OO, Algorithms, Data structures).
Description:
1 to 5 years of experience. 6 or more years = garbage can.

Must be from a top engineering school
Must NOT come from financial services.
Have you ever imagined what it would be like to work for an elite technology company like Google, Yahoo, Microsoft, Adobe or Ebay?
If you have between 1 and 5 years of total work experience, and have a 3.5 or higher GPA from a top Engineering School, then you might be given the opportunity to find out!


Our client is passionate about technology, and they are looking for Oracle Database Developers who are as passionate as they are. Their technology team has been painstakingly culled from the top one percent of the IT world, and they are in search of more elite-level database developers. Their motto says it all: "we don't want people who can develop – we want people who can think".
Although they are located in New York (relocation assistance is available), the company has a very "Silicon Valley" feel to it. Like a Google or a Yahoo, the culture is highly creative, collaborative, and innovative. And very difficult to get into, as the hiring process is designed to filter out all but the most talented minds.
They are a rapidly growing company (currently 400 employees) that builds bleeding edge technology solutions for the education industry. They are a marketplace leader with tremendous presence, and are experiencing explosive growth.
The technical environment is open source – Java, Ruby, Python, Linux. But don't worry if you don't have exposure to open source technology. What is most important is your aptitude and ability to quickly learn and assimilate anything that is new to you.
If you feel that you are a true technologist with outstanding thinking, communication and database development skills, and possess the following must-have requisites, then we want to hear from you:

Required Skills :
· BS/MS in Computer Science or equivalent.
· 1 to 5 years of experience with Oracle SQL and PL/SQL in a development role.
· Strong fundamentals (OO, Algorithms, Data structures).
· Familiarity with UNIX tools.

Nice-to-Have Skills:
· Proficiency with scripting languages such as Ruby or Python.
· Experience writing ETL Processes.
· Experience integrating with IBM DataStage.
The position is in New York, but relocation assistance is provided, so your current location is not an obstacle, as long as you are willing and able to relocate to the New York area.
Superb benefit package, including stock options, flexible hours, health/dental/vision, 401(k), up to 4 weeks vacation.

Additional Job Details: Benefits:
Position Type: Employee
Job Hours: Full Time
Education: Bachelor's Degree

Experience: 2-5 Years Experience

Travel: -NA-
Job Category: IT/Software/Computers/SAP/Architects Jobs
Car No
Car Allowance: No
Stock Options: Yes
H1B Sponsorship: No
Paid Relocation: Yes

Salary: 70000 - 110000 Per Year

Other Comments:
bonus, $5,000 - $10,000, plus stock options

Total Search Fee: 20% of base salary

PRE-SCREEN QUESTIONS FOR SOFTWARE DEVELOPERS

Because we are hiring to a profile, rather than a specific skill set, it is really not possible to gauge a candidate based upon very specific multiple-choice type questions. Instead, the following questions are meant to get the candidate talking, and to get a general idea about whether they seem to be a bright, interesting person. So don't worry about listening for a specific "right" technical answer. Just get a feel for whether they sound like they know what they are talking about.

1. Explain 1 or 2 familiar design patterns you use.

2. Tell me about your practical experience with DataBases?

3. Tell me about any Operating System-level coding experience you may have.
4. What do you like about a development methodology you use?
5. Tell me about the most complex application you've coded for?
6. Explain 1-2 security holes you've encountered or are familiar with.

7. What are the benefits of Open Source with examples?
8. Where do you think the next trend is in Mobile Computing?

9. Describe your passion for software development.
10. What are some plusses and minuses of working on a team vs.
individually? Provide examples from your experience.
