Toronto, Canada; Kanetix - http://www.kanetix.ca

This month we're specifically looking for a developer with Java experience to work primarily on rating engines. You'd be working in a small team of 4 developers.

The majority of the work would be Java with some web development (our web stack: linux, apache, perl, oracle sql, memcached, html/css/js). An insurance background would be beneficial, but is not necessary.

Showed it to a non techie friend who loves to cook. Here's his amusing feedback...

  foodnetwork has an app where u can search a recipe then make a shopping list  
  that's useful
  an app that spits out random ingredients based on a search term does not impress me so much 
  search the term 'poo' in this amazing app then 'pee' 
  then 'shit' 
  no i know that bacon goes well with everything....but c'mon now
