Software Developer

We are seeking a Software Developer to support the modernization of core mid-tier applications. This role involves enhancing existing legacy Java EE systems hosted on IBM WebSphere/Liberty while contributing to the transition toward a modern cloud-native stack involving Spring Boot, Angular/React, and Cloud computing. Working within a DevOps-focused environment, you will handle full-cycle development tasks ranging from requirement analysis and coding to automated testing and production troubleshooting.

Pay Rate: $450.02- $487.39/Diem

Advantages
- Gain direct experience migrating legacy monoliths to containerized, cloud-native environments.

- Participate in the full lifecycle of a developer, from initial business walkthroughs to post-implementation support.

- Secure a long-term contract with clearly defined deliverables and opportunities for technical growth in a DevOps culture.

Responsibilities
- Develop and design new mid-tier applications or enhance existing ones. Support the architectural shift from legacy monolithic structures to modern, cloud-ready services.

- Implement functionality using Java, Spring Boot, Angular, and React.js. Ensure all front-end development adheres to accessibility standards (AODA) and established design systems.

- Prepare and manage automated deployment builds using Jenkins. Utilize GitHub for version control and collaborate on environment-management tasks within Kubernetes or OpenShift.

- Perform data management tasks within Oracle and DB2 databases and create business reports using Cognos.

- Create Systems Response documents and Technical Specifications that map directly to business requirements walkthroughs.

- Conduct unit testing, prepare test plans/data, and participate in design and code walkthroughs. Troubleshoot production incidents and respond to client queries to ensure system stability.

- Update key technical documentation, such as system and payment architecture overviews, and provide skills transfer to internal staff.

Qualifications
- Experience with Java/Jakarta EE, Spring Boot, JSP, Servlets, XML, and SOAP.

- Hands-on experience with Angular, React.js, HTML, and JavaScript.

- Knowledge of IBM WebSphere Application Server 8.5, IBM Liberty, and IBM RAD.

- Proficiency in Oracle, DB2, and SQL. Experience with development tools like Eclipse and VS Code.

- Experience with Jenkins automated builds and GitHub. Familiarity with Azure, Kubernetes, or OpenShift is considered a strong asset.

- Ability to analyze business requirement documents and translate them into functional technical designs.

- Knowledge of the AODA and experience implementing these standards in web solutions.
