Java Notes: I’d also share if you can ever find local Java developers who are US Citizens and who haven’t been presented at the bank recently to please send those to me if we have a position posted or not. We will have so much growth in that space over the next 18 months, I’ve asked my managers to consider any candidates with that background whenever we can find them.
They currently have 3 openings and they are considered "hot" on their end.
