work on their core application. This is a cutting-edge custom Java Swing/HTML5-based interactive, user-facing application
used by a fast growing number of blue-chip clients.

The successful applicant will be given ongoing opportunities to grow with this 8-year old company (based in the
attractive Kings Road/Chelsea SW3 area of London) as it further develops the desktop application to address a portfolio
of new features and initiatives such as GIS, financial trading connectors, exportable Flash dashboards, and HTML 5
exports providing local browser-plus interfaces for online cloud-based applications, and other media-rich interactions
with web services.

We are looking for solid commercial experience of building rich custom Java Swing visual apps with back-end data
