An employer is seeking a remote Java Engineer for a contract to hire position. Responsibilities include designing APIs, implementing services, and crafting UI components that power DE tools and integrations. Create microservices and data pipelines using Java (Spring Boot) and Node.js (Express/Fastify) and/or Python (FastAPI/Django). Build responsive, accessible SPAs using React (or Angular/Vue), TypeScript, and component libraries. Connect to MBSE tools (e.g., SysML/Cameo), PLM systems (e.g., Teamcenter/Windchill), CAD/CAE data, and simulation workflows to enable a robust digital thread. Design REST/GraphQL APIs, manage schema evolution, and integrate with message buses (Kafka/RabbitMQ) and event-driven architectures. Containerize services (Docker), orchestrate deployments (Kubernetes), and automate CI/CD (GitHub Actions/GitLab CI/Jenkins) with security gates and quality checks. Work with PostgreSQL/MySQL, MongoDB/DocumentDB, caching (Redis), and hands-on ETL/ELT patterns where needed. Implement unit/integration/e2e tests (JUnit, Jest, Playwright, PyTest), contract tests (PACT), and observability (OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Grafana). Apply secure coding, dependency hygiene (SCA), SAST/DAST, secrets management, and cloud IAM best practices. Partner with product, design, systems engineering, and stakeholders to refine requirements, write RFCs, and deliver on sprint commitments.
