Job Description:

We are seeking a Senior Java Engineer to migrate MarkLogic-based applications to a MongoDB, AWS, and Java platform. The role involves reverse-engineering existing MarkLogic/XQuery logic, designing field-level mappings and data models, implementing new services and batch processes with Java, Spring Boot, Spring Batch, and AWS Lambda, and leveraging AI coding tools to accelerate analysis, scaffolding, testing, and documentation under strict governance.

  • Familiarity with static analysis and code quality tools.

AI & Developer Tooling

  • Comfortable using AI-assisted coding tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, CursorAI, or similar) in a professional setting.
  • Prompting AI tools to analyze legacy code and summarize behavior.
  • Generating migration READMEs, field-level mapping tables, and boilerplate code and refining it.
  • Using AI to suggest tests, edge cases, and refactoring while still owning the final design and correctness.
  • Understands the limitations of AI tools and applies engineering judgment.
  • Reviews and validates AI-generated code and documentation.
  • Understands safe use of AI, model/context limits, prompt redaction where needed, etc.
