Position Overview:
We are seeking a Java Developer to join our team in developing specialized PDF text processing solutions.

This position offers a unique opportunity to work with low-level PDF manipulation, particularly focusing on text fitting, character spacing optimization, and accessibility compliance.
Technical Environment:
You will work primarily with iText's/PDFBox latest versions to develop sophisticated text processing solutions. Our applications require precise control over text placement, font metrics, and character spacing to achieve pixel-perfect document outputs. The work involves direct manipulation of PDF content streams, careful handling of font metrics, and ensuring accessibility features such as auto tagging to meet 508 compliance standards.
Core Responsibilities:
Your primary focus will be developing and maintaining Java applications that:
• Process PDF documents at the content stream level.
• Implement precise text fitting algorithms.
• Handle font metrics and character spacing calculations.
• Optimize text layout and positioning.
• Ensure consistent text rendering across different PDF viewers.
• Develop and implement auto tagging solutions to enhance document accessibility and achieve 508 compliance.
Required Experience and Skills:
• 3-5 years of professional Java development experience.
• Hands-on experience with PDF manipulation libraries (iText, PDFBox).
• Strong command of Java 8+ features and core libraries.
• Experience with build tools (Maven/Gradle) and version control (Git).
• Proficiency in developing solutions for auto tagging PDF documents to meet accessibility standards such as Section 508 compliance.
Technical Knowledge:
The role requires a solid understanding of document processing fundamentals. You should be comfortable working with:
• Character encoding and text manipulation.
• Font systems and text rendering.
• Basic PDF document structure.
• Accessibility standards, including 508 compliance and WCAG.
• Performance optimization for large documents.
• Unit testing and quality assurance practices.
Educational Requirements:
A Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field is required. Additional certifications in Java or PDF technologies are appreciated but not mandatory.
