Typical Day in Role:

• Back-end development work
• Tech stack: Java Springboot, noSQL database (Cassandra, MongoDB), Kafka
• Springboot O-Auth
• Working with GCP, Azure
• Moving existing features to GCP, old applications are monolithic so need to use microservices to restructure code, working with APIs, Rest end-points, web services
• Lead development activities as the senior member of the scrum team, planning and executing to meet sprint objectives as well as program/project milestones.
• Write well designed, testable, efficient code by using best software development practices.
• Gather and refine specifications and requirements based on technical needs.
• Collaborate with the Scrum team to plan milestones, successfully execute software delivery, and escalate issues as needed.
• Ensure that requirements are clearly, accurately, and thoroughly documented and understood either for system changes and/or process changes and that there is value and consistency added to the customer experience by:
o Providing contribution to design/review process
o Monitoring/reviewing design during development phase.
• Ensure the timely and accurate completion of projects through:
o Production/Input to an overall Project Plan, strategy, and implementation
o Procedural documents completed to support user (guidelines, job aids. etc.)
o Input provided to preparation and execution of testing.
o Conducting post implementation measurement review of projects.
