We re seeking a Lead Developer to spearhead the modernization of a legacy framework (AEFW3) built on Spring Framework 3.0.5, migrating it to Spring Boot 3.x.
This role involves analyzing existing proprietary framework code, designing the migration architecture, hands-on development, and ensuring a smooth transition to a cloud-native architecture (Azure Cloud private/public).

Key Responsibilities:

  • Analyze the existing AEFW3 framework (Spring 3.0.5) to identify dependencies, configurations, and potential migration challenges.

  • Design and implement a migration strategy refactoring, upgrading dependencies, and leveraging new Spring Boot features (auto-configuration, embedded servers, starters).

  • Refactor code from XML-based to Java-based configurations and annotations.

  • Handle Tiles to JSP conversions using JSP includes.

  • Resolve compatibility issues involving Jakarta EE, Hibernate, Spring Security, and other libraries.

  • Implement and optimize Maven build configurations for Spring Boot projects.

  • Ensure code quality and reliability via unit and integration testing.

  • Collaborate with developers, architects, and stakeholders to ensure smooth migration.

  • Provide technical leadership and mentorship to other teams on Spring Boot best practices.

  • Document all migration steps, design decisions, and new architecture details.

Required Skills & Experience:

  • Strong hands-on experience with Spring Framework (3.x) and Spring Boot (2.x/3.x).

  • Proven background in migrating legacy Spring applications to Spring Boot.

  • Expertise in Java 17+, Spring Boot architecture, IoC, DI, and AOP.

  • Deep understanding of Spring Boot starters, auto-configuration, and embedded servers.

  • Experience with Maven, Git, Spring MVC, and RESTful APIs.

  • Knowledge of Hibernate, Spring Data JPA, and SQL databases.

  • Hands-on experience with Spring Security and authentication mechanisms.

  • Strong debugging, analytical, and problem-solving skills.

  • Excellent communication and collaboration abilities.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience working with Azure Cloud (preferred) or AWS/Google Cloud Platform.

  • Familiarity with Docker, Kubernetes, and OpenShift.

  • Exposure to CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps).

  • Knowledge of microservices architecture and development.
