Position: Software Developer
Work Location: Austin, TX
Job Type: Full-time Complementary

Job Description:
Seeking motivated interns to join the software development team working on the rapidly growing IBM Business Process Management (BPM) product. The candidates will be part of the BPM team responsible for designing, developing, and testing components based on the SOA architecture.

What is Business Process Management?
As technology expands both the number and complexity of devices we use everyday, businesses are innovating. Obviously they're innovating with new products and services, but they are also innovating on how they do business. At it's core, Business Process Management (BPM) is about recording, in a diagram, how a company does business and providing tools to make those everyday processes better.

What are we looking for?
The candidates must be self-sufficient and able to lead or participate in structured and unstructured teams as the need arises. Must be willing to work with and learn enterprise technologies.

The development teams follow an agile development process, providing the opportunity to work in a fast-paced environment, with broad teamwork among local and remote colleagues in our overall organization. There is a lot of exposure to both the technical detail and business application of the software we develop. Members of our team contribute to all levels of our technology stack, from GWT and DOJO UIs to our persistence layer and build system.

Skills:
Specific skills aren't as interesting as the ability and desire to learn, along with a firm grasp of computer science fundamentals. With that said:

• Problem solving skills and attention to detail, including the ability to think creatively about issues to and intellectual curiosity to find a resolution. Should be able to think "out-of-the-box" and develop creative solutions
• Innovation to develop improved and creative user experiences
• Ability to interact and clearly communicate (written and verbal) with both technical and non-technical internal co-workers
• Experience in gathering relevant information, examining, investigating and solving dynamic problems with tenacity and persistence
• Well-organized, process driven with the ability to multi-task and work alone or in a team environment

Knowledge of some or all of the following technologies are a plus: Java/J2EE, knowledge of WebServices (WSDL, SOAP), XML, WebSphere Application Server, Web 2.0 and mobile technologies.
