We’re looking for a junior developer to help in developing the MyTripJournal platform. This involves working with an existing application written using WebObjects 5.3 (Java), Frontbase, and OS X as a server platform.

A good opportunity to learn a variety of software development skills and usage of tools. We work in a very agile environment with no red-tape; so we’re looking for a dynamic person. You would work with one other experienced WO Developer.
