Java Developer

Pay Rate: $78 - $83/Hour

This position is focused on Java development and building new applications or features.

Technologies and Skills:

• Java is the primary language, with minimal JavaScript involvement.
• Uses the Spring Framework exclusively, with experience in Spring Boot for building APIs and batch applications.
• Some Angular may be used for JavaScript frameworks, but this is a backend-focused role.
• Candidates should also have experience with security testing, using tools like SonarQube (7RQ) for software quality analysis and Checkmarx for application security testing (experience in these specific tools is not mandatory, but candidates must be familiar with industry standards).

AWS Expertise:

The company is an AWS shop, so candidates must have experience deploying applications in AWS and should be familiar with tools like S3, Redshift, and WSDL services.

Project Scope:

• This role focuses on developing new applications from scratch rather than maintenance or editing of existing code.
• The service management team handles incident and problem management, so the developer will work closely with this team to troubleshoot post-implementation issues.

Other Technical Requirements:

• Experience with SQL is required, as all applications retrieve data from SQL-based databases.
• Must understand full-stack development, but there is no UI development required for this role.

Team Size:

The selected candidate will work within a team of 8-10 people.

Experience Level:

• Ideally looking for candidates with 10+ years of relevant experience, but the hiring manager is flexible if a candidate shows strong leadership qualities.
• Leadership experience is important but doesn’t need to be 10 years specifically.

Non-Negotiables:

• Strong Java development experience.
• Spring Boot expertise.
• AWS deployment experience.
• Familiarity with Agile methodology (the company uses SAFe Agile).

Preferred Education:

Preference for candidates with a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related field, as the hiring manager believes they tend to follow software engineering best practices more rigorously and possess stronger communication and organizational skills.
