Local Matters - Software Engineer

Software Engineer (Denver, CO)
Date: 2008-10-09


It’s not about cubicles, endless meetings and rigid communication protocols. Instead we thrive on a fun, casual atmosphere and the creativity that can only be found in loving what we do.

At Local Matters, headquartered in a historic LoDo warehouse, we’re building a team of the smartest, nicest, funniest, coolest, hippest… you get it… people in the tech industry. Our management team includes former Mapquest, Trip.com, The Onion, and Yelp personnel.

You might be a great addition to our team if you:

Are the best problem-solving engineer that you know.
Are willing to learn and use leading-edge technologies.
Want to work in a highly challenging and fun environment.
Would enjoy knocking off work at 3pm on Fridays for happy hour.


Our tight-knit team of engineers develops in Agile, 2-week iterative development cycles, working closely on multiple projects with other teams to meet aggressive schedules. In addition to writing code to directly satisfy business requirements, 10% of each engineer's time is allocated to research and development, including contribution back to open-source software projects.

Job requirements:

4+ years experience with Java, preferably in a commercial environment.
4+ years experience with web development.
Good working knowledge of a Dependency Injection framework (Spring preferred).
Experience with an MVC framework such as Struts or Spring MVC.
Strong communicator.
Search Engine experience a plus (FAST, Lucene, etc).
