About The Position

Full Stack Java Engineer - Seafood Inspection Services Portal — SISP) Candidate will provide senior-level full stack development services within the Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO), with a primary emphasis on Spring Boot backend development and secure integration to a modern React front end, in accordance with OCIO mission requirements. About The Seafood Inspection Services Portal (SISP) provides a common front door to a variety of NOAA Fisheries Seafood Inspection Services. SISP consists of two web components: 1. Public-facing portal that enables external users (industry participants and stakeholders) to submit and manage service workflows (e.g., certificates, inspection requests, related submissions), make payments through approved payment services (as integrated), and receive electronic outputs (e.g., certificates, approvals, receipts). 2. Private back-end portal used by internal NOAA Fisheries personnel to administer and process submissions, reconcile payments and manage adjustments/refunds where applicable, issue decisions/approvals, and generate ad-hoc and standard operational reports. This effort includes modernizing and migrating legacy data and workflows into SISP, building new workflows, updating legacy data into a cleaner Oracle DB, and developing static and operational reports for the new workflows. The SISP application is implemented using Spring Boot and modern Java, deployed to Tomcat, a dynamic React front end, and supported by an Oracle backend.
