This Week in Jobs: Pour yourself some Java and check out these 20 tech career opportunities

This week, we’re returning, once again, to the year 1995.

It was May 27, 30 years ago to the day, and Sun Microsystems released a programming language called Oak, running a demo of interactive content in Netscape Navigator at SunWorld ’95.

Due to a trademark issue, it wouldn’t be known as Oak for long. 

Its new name? Java.

Java, with its “Write Once, Run Anywhere” philosophy, changed both software development and web browsers — Java applets, tiny programs that enhanced web pages beyond what simple HTML could do, enabled things like animations, interactive charts, and file processing. Java was quickly adopted by enterprise and became one of the largest software languages, driving ecosystems, banking systems and Android apps.

Today, 15 years after Sun Microsystems was acquired by Oracle,  Java is still the dominant language for enterprise backend applications. If you’re searching for a job at a financial institution or large corporation, you likely have Java certification.

Whatever your coding language of choice, let’s get to the job listings.
