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

Technical.ly expands to cover all of Maryland's innovation economy
first expansion was to Baltimore, both because we saw the startup and tech ecosystem growing and because I didn't own a car and the trains ran frequently there from where I lived. Over the next 14 years, we would hold our first team retreat in Ocean City, the newsroom fridge would be perpetually stocked with Natty Boh and several of our longest tenured teammates would be Marylanders. Our Baltimore coverage, and later our DC coverage, would often overlap many of the two dozen Maryland counties. But the identity was first and foremost with those major cities. Today that changes as we grow our regional coverage. Thanks to Report for America, our lead ecosystem sponsor TEDCO and several other contributors, is now reporting across Maryland. Led by longtime editor Sameer Rao, with the help of brand new lead Maryland reporter Maria Eberhart, alongside lead reporter Kaela Roeder, now has a three-person, full-time, dedicated news team covering high-growth entrepreneurship, jobs of the future and tech's civic impact — from digital equity to the effects of AI policy. We'll supplement this with thoughtful guest commentary and our growing creator strategy. The newsroom is open to story ideas, including suggestions about the people who represent this innovation economy, the programs and companies they're building and how the larger trends that affect this work are playing out locally (keep sending pitches to baltimore@ And as part of the Baltimore News Collaborative, we also regularly partner with other local news organizations. Fresh research helps us demonstrate that our work matters. 'ecosystem storytelling' results in more follow-on coverage of these topics (including other local media, and national and industry) and contributes to a better connected and faster-growing economy. Storytelling isn't an output of a healthier economy, it's an input. Within our statewide coverage, our stories will still tilt toward Baltimore, where we're helped by the financial support of the Abell Foundation and the Deutsch Foundation, while support from the Howard County Economic Development Authority will underscore coverage of that region, an economic engine and home to the Maryland Innovation Center. In today's media environment, we can no longer assume good work will lead to good storytelling and the attention that follows. We need your help. To support our expanded Maryland coverage, read more about our services here. Our financial partners are ensuring their region's innovation story is told. Make sure yours is, too.
