The video-game industry’s annual Electronic Entertainment Expo, which wrapped up Thursday at the Los Angeles Convention Center is an overwhelming, exhausting experience - so many games, so little time. With exclusive games the best way to attract buyers, Sony’s PS4 has “Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End,” “The Last Guardian,” “Horizon: Zero Dawn,” “Dreams” and the spooky “What Remains of Edith Finch.” (Photo by Chris Pizzello/Invision/AP, File)

A software development firm is interested in placing an office in Chattanooga and creating 100 jobs over three years, but it needs to find enough Java developers first.

"Successful recruitment of this company will strengthen our growing tech sector, diversify our local economy and help us retain existing talent as well as attract new talent," said Charles Wood, vice president of economic development at the Chattanooga Area Chamber of Commerce.

The Chamber isn't naming the firm, but it's conducting a blind job posting for a firm interested in expanding to Chattanooga.

The prospective employer is described as a mid-sized IT and software development firm headquartered in the U.S., serving Fortune 1,000 clients as well as smaller businesses.

Interested people can submit a resume and cover letter toED.posting@chattanoogachamber.com by Monday, the business group said.
