Forgive me if this is not the place for this. I'll keep it short in case this is regarded as obnoxious. A friend of my business partner (and a Director at Oracle) is in desperate need of J2EE hotshots to join the Bay Area or Philadelphia-area OC4J server-side development team. I know some consider them another evil empire, but it would be interesting work for anyone who's worked in depth at the internals level on app server core runtime processing (threading, classloading, state replication / clustering and lifecycle), and such a person would be heartily welcomed to the team. If you or a friend might be interested, let me know and I'll connect you with the Director. (Other necessary particulars: full-time, I'd guess 130-145K, position can be in Redwood City or Voorhees NJ.)

Disclaimer: I have a financial interest in this, but so do you if you're interested or know someone who would be (although I guess you could refuse a referral fee).
