Job description:
The candidate must reside in North Carolina. The candidate must be willing either to use their personal computer to log into a virtual NCDOT workstation (via their Internet access using Citrix and the Cisco AnyConnect vpn) or to come to Raleigh at their expense to pick up an NCDOT laptop. Position is remote with minimal in-person engagement in the Raleigh area.
Description:
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 and maintain a mission-critical application for the department called HiCAMS.
HiCAMS is a custom, client-server, PowerBuilder application used to track work, materials and payments on North Carolina Division of Highways Construction projects. We also have many Java, C+ and asp.net/C# 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 upgrade problem in our Red Hat Linux server environment. Our Linux administrator wants to upgrade Linux but the upgrade causes our Java interfaces to fail. We need someone who can diagnose the error/problem and create a solution to allow the upgrade and our Java interfaces to work. We also have some fairly minor logic changes/enhancements to some of our Java interfaces that we need coded/tested/applied.
After those assignments are complete, this person would work on a part of the HiCAMS team to analyze/design/code/test/implement/support data windows in PowerBuilder 10.0 to replace approximately 100 sample test result spreadsheet formats that were coded using an outdated 3rd party software tool. 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.
Required Skills: (10+ years)
- Experience as a PowerBuilder developer using PB10 or more recent versions.
- Development experience in Java, particularly solving library and compatibility issues between versions.
- Strong SQL skills (HiCAMS uses a Sybase database but SQL skills in any database platform are acceptable)
- Strong Microsoft Suite experience, particularly Excel
- Experience working in a remote software development environment
- Strong analytical, conceptual, and technical skills
- Positive interpersonal skills coupled with an independent, self-motivated work ethic
- Ability to work with a custom base-class
- Proven written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to explain business processes to IT users and IT applications to business users
Preferred Skills:
- Development experience in C#
- Development experience in C+
- Experience coding stored procedures and triggers (any database)
