Java Cloud Developer

Developer specialized in migrating Java/J2EE applications to the cloud. You will take ownership for modernizing Java/J2EE applications and migrating them to AWS by re-architecting them to leverage cloud-native features and improve scalability, performance, and agility, while minimizing disruption to existing functionality. Responsibilities Lead Cloud Architecture & Migration: Take ownership of architecture refinement and improvement of an enterprise cloud migration project. Design a migration plan, considering options like "replatforming" (adjusting to cloud services with minimal code changes) or "refactoring" (major code restructuring to fully leverage cloud-native features). Architectural Design & Development: Lead a team of developers to Architect and Design and as required Develop pieces of Architectural Runway & Reference Architecture that Legacy JAVA / J2EE teams could use to migrate their applications to cloud. Application Modernization: Modify existing Java code to integrate with AWS services, potentially breaking down monolithic applications into microservices for better scalability. Service Selection & Integration: Choose appropriate AWS services based on application requirements, including EC2 / ECS / EKS for compute, S3 for storage, RDS for databases, API Gateway for API management, and Lambda for serverless functions. Define a disaster recovery mechanism for the same. Containerization & Automation: Package applications into Docker containers for efficient deployment and scaling on AWS services like ECS or EKS. Utilize tools like AWS CloudFormation, SAM, or Terraform to define and automate infrastructure provisioning for consistent deployment across environments. Governance & Cost Management: Work closely with project leadership and the Architectural Review Board on proposed architecture designs, ensuring cost efficiency, scalability, and effectiveness when proposing solutions. Communication & Cadence: Define the cadence at which the team will meet its defined objectives and communicate regularly with project leadership about achievements and milestones. Qualifications Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience). At least 5+ years of hands‑on experience migrating applications onto the AWS platform. Solid migration experience from on‑premises servers to AWS using appropriate tools and frameworks. Strong Java programming skills and experience with J2EE frameworks like Spring, Hibernate, and JSF. Strong understanding of AWS architecture and cloud computing concepts. Expertise in containerization technologies like Docker and Kubernetes. Familiarity with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools like CloudFormation or Terraform. Knowledge of database migration strategies and experience with different database systems. Understanding of DevOps practices for continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD). Strong problem‑solving skills and ability to troubleshoot complex issues in distributed, cloud‑based environments. Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively in a team environment.
