Title –Lead Java Developer
Location-Hybrid @ Rockville, MD or Tysons, VA (Rockville Preferred)
Duration –Contract
- Strong Java engineer first. He said that’s what they need most.
- Tech focus is unchanged: backend over frontend. Java and Spring Boot, building business rules and APIs, microservices and Docker. The team already has strong frontend people, so we can flex on Angular experience if needed.
- Everything runs in AWS: RDS, OpenSearch, API Gateway, EC2 and ECS, on top of the services already in the JD (Fargate, Aurora, SQS, Lambda, S3)
- OpenSearch is AWS’s version of Elasticsearch, so Elasticsearch experience carries more weight than the “nice to have” label suggests
- A true leader: someone who points the team in the right direction, works alongside them, is motivated and communicates well. They should clearly stand out as the person leading the team.
- PingOne is a nice to have, not required. One of their big projects is moving user accounts off Active Directory to PingOne, an identity as a service platform. Experience with PingOne or a similar identity migration would give a candidate a head start.
- Red Flags: Job hopping, all the technology under the sun, can't speak to their resume. “What did that application actually do, who used it, and what value did it bring?”
