- Unreliable releases
- Legacy Java applications
- Production and stability issues
\n
\n
\n

This is not a pure architecture or management role. About 70% of the job is hands-on coding and engineering.
\n
What You’ll Do
\n
- \n
- Assess applications and identify technical problems.
- Write and improve Java/JVM code.
- Modernize legacy Java and Spring applications.
- Build automated tests and improve test coverage.
- Fix security vulnerabilities and outdated dependencies.
- Improve CI/CD and release automation.
- Containerize applications with Docker/OpenShift.
- Improve application monitoring, logging, and production reliability.
- Automate infrastructure and database changes.
- Work directly with developers, architects, security, and other technical stakeholders.
- Lead technical discussions and help engineering teams adopt better practices.
- Take ownership of projects from assessment through production.

Who This Role Is For
\n
This role is a strong fit for a senior software engineer who likes solving difficult problems hands-on.
\n
You should enjoy getting into an existing application, figuring out what is wrong, writing the code to fix it, improving the engineering process, and seeing the solution through to production.
\n
If your background is primarily architecture, project management, or people management without recent hands-on coding, this role is not the right fit.
