Junior Developer (Full Stack)

Vodori is a hybrid consulting and SaaS product company that connects global companies to their customers. Since 2005, we’ve been helping our clients market, sell, support, and service their products using our Pepper® Digital Experience Platform.

We’re looking for developers to grow the technical firepower of our Chicago-based team. As an engineer here, you'll work on a unique set of custom client projects and on enhancing the features of our digital marketing platform, Pepper. Along the way, you'll tackle challenging problems, continue to learn new skills, and make a huge impact on our software, our clients, and your colleagues. As part of a cross-functional consulting team, you’ll work to develop custom web applications for our clients. Our software is currently written with Java, the Spring Framework, Elasticsearch, MySQL, MongoDB, HTML5, CSS (using Less), and a very heavy dose of JavaScript (primarily jQuery, Dojo, and Angular). You might have a greater interest in some of these technologies than others, but we're looking for people who want to make a well-rounded, full-stack contribution to every part of a project. We’re always keeping an eye out for new ways to solve problems, so we’ll work together to keep up with the latest technologies and methodologies. And since we’re a small company, your ideas and contributions will be noticed from day one.

- We're looking for a friendly, eager, self-motivated learner. You should have experience with some of the technologies listed above, whether through a job, internship, or school project. If you’ve been working with requirements and project management teams to achieve software development goals, you’ve got a leg up. - A good grasp of OO and design patterns that avoid redundancy and promote efficiency, legibility, testability, and maintainability of code. - A desire to collaborate and innovate with our internal teams (both technical and non-technical) and with our clients - we want you to teach what you’ve learned, and in turn, learn from others. - Familiarity with JPA (or pre-JPA OR/M), Elasticsearch and/or enterprise content management systems (this is a big plus). - A technical degree is great to see, but not required.
