ECHO IT SOLUTIONS INC .

Position Title: Staff Software Engineer / Architect - Java Modernization (AWS / Kubernetes)
Location: St. Louis, MO

JD

We are looking for a staff-level software engineer / architect to lead the modernization of a largescale, mission-critical Java platform. This role is hands-on and focused on rewriting and re-architecting existing systems using modern Java, Spring Boot, and cloud-native patterns on AWS.

What You'll Do
  • Modernize a legacy Java platform to Java 21 and Spring Boot
  • Re-architect monolithic components into well-structured, cloud-native services
  • Design and build services for AWS EKS and/or OpenShift
  • Define execution models, service boundaries, and deployment patterns
  • Drive architectural decisions around performance, scalability, and reliability
  • Work closely with platform, DevOps, and cloud infrastructure teams
  • Mentor senior engineers and set engineering standards
  • Own solutions end-to-end - from design through production
What We're Looking For
  • Staff-level experience building and modernizing large Java systems
  • Strong hands-on experience with Java (17+ preferred, 21 ideal) and Spring Boot
  • Deep understanding of distributed systems and system design
  • Practical experience deploying applications on AWS, preferably EKS
  • Solid Kubernetes knowledge (EKS and/or OpenShift)
  • Experience containerizing applications and running them on a scale
  • Strong grasp of performance tuning, JVM behavior, and low-latency systems
  • Ability to operate as both architect and hands-on engineer
Nice to Have
  • Experience migrating from monoliths to cloud-native architectures
  • Exposure to eventing, messaging, or streaming systems (Kafka, MQ, etc.)
  • Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure-as-code
  • Background in financial services, payments, or high-throughput systems
Why This Role
  • Opportunity to shape the future architecture of a critical platform
  • Work on complex, high-scale systems where design decisions matter
  • High ownership, real technical impact, and long-term relevance
