About The Position

Position Description: Multiple Openings Available Delivers software solutions within an Agile framework (Kanban or SCRUM). Performs front-end development using user interface (UI) frameworks and platforms (Angular and React). Works with various modern programming languages, frameworks and tools (Python, Java, Spring, Angular, Kafka and SQL). Builds, deploys, and runs Nodejs applications, using Amazon Web Services (AWS). Uses business knowledge to translate the vision for divisional initiatives into business solutions by developing complex or multiple software applications and conducting studies of alternatives. Analyzes and recommends changes in project development policies, procedures, standards, and strategies to development experts and management. Primary Responsibilities: Participates in architecture design teams. Defines and implements application-level architecture. Develops applications on complex projects, components, and subsystems for the division. Recommends development testing tools and methodologies and reviews and validates test plans. Responsible for QA readiness of software deliverables. Develops comprehensive documentation for multiple applications or subsystems. Establishes full project life cycle plans for complex projects across multiple platforms. Responsible for meeting project goals on-time and on-budget. Advises on risk assessment and risk management strategies for projects. Plans and coordinates project schedules and assignments for multiple projects. Acts as a primary liaison for business units to resolve various project/technology issues. Provides technology solutions to daily issues and technical evaluation estimates on technology initiatives. Advises senior management on technical strategy. Mentors junior team members. Performs independent and complex technical and functional analysis for multiple projects supporting several divisional initiatives. Develops original and creative technical solutions to on-going development efforts. Education and Experience: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Technology, Information Systems, Management Information Systems, or a closely related field (or foreign education equivalent) and five (5) years of experience as a Principal Software Engineer/Developer (or closely related occupation) developing and maintaining scalable solutions using Kafka and Spring-based applications, in a multi-system integration environment. Or, alternatively, Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Technology, Information Systems, Management Information Systems, or a closely related field (or foreign education equivalent) and three (3) years of experience as a Principal Software Engineer/Developer (or closely related occupation) developing and maintaining scalable solutions using Kafka and Spring-based applications, in a multi-system integration environment. Skills and Knowledge: Candidate must also possess: Demonstrated Expertise (“DE”) developing robust microservices using Java 8+, Spring Boot, and Spring Cloud for distributed systems; integrating event-driven architectures using Kafka and data persistence with Oracle PL/SQL; leveraging Docker containers and Kubernetes for deploying microservices across cloud environments; using REST APIs for communication between services; writing Unit test cases using JUnit and Mockito; and testing code coverage using Java Code Coverage (JACOCO) or SonarQube. DE driving Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipeline implementation using Jenkins, GitLab CI, and UC Deploy to automate the build and deployment of Java-based microservices; managed configurations and infrastructure using Ansible and Terraform for infrastructure as code (IaC); containerizing applications with Docker and orchestrating deployments using Kubernetes to improve scalability and reduce deployment time; and monitoring logs and system metrics with Datadog and AWS CloudWatch to ensure performance and uptime. DE writing PL/SQL stored procedures to handle complex database operations; and utilizing JPAs for efficient ORM-based interaction with the RDBMS. DE performing the development and integration of UI with back-end services using Java, Spring Boot, and Oracle PL/SQL; designing and implementing workflows and data flows in Pega for near real-time reporting; integrating with Kafka for asynchronous message processing; using RESTful APIs to support communication between services and optimizing performance using caching strategies; utilizing SOAP and XML for integrating with legacy systems; and developing custom UI components within the Pegasys framework to enhance user interactions.
