Description:
The initial assignment will be to solve a Java-related upgrade compatibility problem in our Red Hat Enterprise Linux server environment between RHEL 7.0 and RHEL 8.0. Our Java interfaces fail after the RHEL update.

The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) is seeking a Technical Specialist contractor analyst/designer/developer (>10 years experience) for a 12-month engagement for the Engineering Application Services Department (EAS) to enhance a series of Java, C/C++ and interfaces on an application for the department called HiCAMS.

HiCAMS is a custom, client-server application used to track work, materials and payments on North Carolina Division of Highways Construction projects. We have many Java, C/C++ and interfaces with various internal and external systems that need to be maintained and enhanced. Additionally, there is a list of new interfaces and web applications tied to HiCAMS that our clients want to have developed in the future.

The initial assignment will be to solve a Java-related upgrade problem in our Red Hat Enterprise Linux server environment. Our Linux administrator wants to upgrade Linux from RHEL 7.0 to RHEL 8.0 and eventually RHEL 9.0, but the upgrade currently causes our Java interfaces to fail. We need someone who can diagnose the error/problem and create a solution to allow our Java interfaces to work under the newer Red Hat version(s). We also have some business logic changes/enhancements to some of our Java interfaces that we need coded/tested/applied. Additional work will involve analyzing/designing/coding/testing bug fixes and other functional enhancements to the system and its interfaces.

This individual should have practical experience with all phases of the standard software development life cycle, including requirements gathering, analysis, design, development, unit & system testing, quality assurance testing as well as experience with business process transformation. Experience designing and interfacing with SharePoint and web-based solutions are also valuable skills we re seeking.
