Job Title: Java Developer

Location: Remote

Duration: 6 months (possibility to extend to 2 years)

Job description:

• Developers to start on current projects and then move to the federal claims system (FHCPS).

• Strong Java backend focusses with exposure to front-end (even if not hands-on).

• The system is mature, high-scale (millions of users), with a multi-tenant architecture and a lot of legacy to modern migration work.

Top Skill (Must-Haves):

• Java 8 or higher (Java 17 preferred)

• Spring Boot

• Oracle (PL/SQL) - should be able to write queries and support API development

Nice to Haves:

• Redis caching

• Flyway (for Oracle Database management)

• View 3 (JavaScript) - basic ability to read/debug front-end code

• Kafka / Messaging Queues

• GitHub Copilot / AI coding exposure

• Shell scripting, Jira, Cherwell - easy to learn, not critical

Project Notes:

• The Max platform is being modernized from WebSphere/Java Beans SOA to a Kubernetes microservices architecture.

• Front-end is moving from IceFaces to Vue 3, but most work is back-end focused (around 65% backend, 35% front-end).

• Devs should be able to understand end-to-end flows (from API to front-end) even if they don’t build front-end.

• Codebase includes new development, maintenance, and support for large-scale clients (e.g., Blue Cross, 3M+ user records).

• Product includes mobile apps, portals, and batch processing for claims.

Ideal Candidate Profile:

• 3-7 years Java experience preferred

• Strong backend mindset with comfort navigating front-end code
