About the Role

We are seeking an experienced Java Developer Contractor to support the design, development, and maintenance of web applications, backend services, and cloud-based solutions. This role is ideal for someone who is comfortable working across the Java/Spring ecosystem, building REST APIs, integrating with AWS services, and contributing to modern CI/CD-driven development workflows.

The right candidate will be hands-on, pragmatic, and comfortable working independently while collaborating with technical and business stakeholders.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, test, and maintain Java-based applications using Java SDK 21.

• Build and enhance applications using Spring Boot and the broader Spring Framework.

• Develop and maintain REST APIs and JSON-based integrations.

• Support smaller web applications using Thymeleaf, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

• Work with AWS-based infrastructure and services, including ECS, API Gateway, and DynamoDB.

• Contribute to source control and development workflows using GitLab.

• Build, maintain, and troubleshoot GitLab CI/CD pipelines.

• Collaborate with team members on application architecture, implementation decisions, code reviews, and deployment practices.

• Support infrastructure-as-code efforts, especially where Terraform is used.

• Use IntelliJ IDEA as the primary development environment.

• Apply sound software engineering practices, including maintainable code design, testing, documentation, and operational awareness.

• Where appropriate, leverage AI-assisted coding tools to improve development productivity and code quality.

Required Qualifications

• Strong professional experience developing applications with Java.

• Experience with Java 21 or recent versions of the Java SDK.

• Solid experience with Spring Boot and Spring-based application development.

• Experience designing, building, and consuming REST APIs.

• Strong working knowledge of JSON and API integration patterns.

• Familiarity with front-end technologies including HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

• Experience using Git-based source control, preferably GitLab.

• Experience working with CI/CD pipelines, preferably GitLab CI/CD.

• Practical experience developing, deploying, or supporting applications in AWS.

• Ability to work independently, communicate clearly, and deliver high-quality work in a contractor capacity.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with Thymeleaf for server-side templating.

• Hands-on experience with AWS services such as:

• Amazon ECS

• Amazon API Gateway

• Amazon DynamoDB

• Familiarity with Terraform or other infrastructure-as-code tools.

• Experience using IntelliJ IDEA in a professional development environment.

• Familiarity with AI-assisted development tools such as Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, or similar tools.

• Experience troubleshooting cloud deployments, application logs, build pipelines, and environment-related issues.

• Understanding of secure coding practices and cloud application security concepts.

Technical Environment

• Our current technology stack includes:

• Java SDK 21

• Spring Boot / Spring Framework

• Thymeleaf

• REST APIs

• JSON

• HTML / CSS / JavaScript

• AWS, including ECS, API Gateway, and DynamoDB

• GitLab repositories

• GitLab CI/CD pipelines

• Terraform

• IntelliJ IDEA

• AI-assisted coding tools, including exploration of Claude Code

Ideal Candidate

The ideal candidate is a strong Java developer who can move comfortably between backend development, lightweight front-end work, cloud-based deployments, and CI/CD workflows. They should be able to understand existing systems quickly, contribute clean and maintainable code, and work effectively in a modern cloud-oriented development environment.

Experience with AWS, GitLab pipelines, Terraform, and AI-assisted coding tools is highly valued.
