Jobs 'n' Jokes

Let's see; how should I start this?

Launch yourself into a new career...

Deploy yourself at Sun...

Pack200 your things and come work with us...

Install yourself into the deployment team...

Plug in to a new team...

Hmmm. How about something more straightforward...

Get a job.

The Deployment team at Sun is hiring; maybe we're looking for you! This is the team that creates all of the technologies that get Java packaged, delivered, and running on your system, including such products as Plugin, Java Web Start, the Java installer, and Pack200 compression technology. The team is in need of assistance in a couple of areas:

• Installer: We are looking for a college hire (hopefully with some experience, at least at the intern level) to help out with the Installer product on multiple platforms.
• Common components: This is a more senior position for developing common components used in nearly all of the Deployment products.

Note that both positions are for the Burlington, Massachusetts location (no working remotely for these jobs). Want to apply? Check out the job site links above for more information and submit your resume on the site.

Meanwhile, I figured this blog entry was a good opportunity for bad deployment jokes...
