This role offers a unique opportunity to leverage your extensive Java expertise and cloud-native skills to drive innovation and deliver robust, scalable solutions.
• • You will be responsible for producing high-quality code adhering to Java best practices, ensuring the reliability and maintainability of the platform. This involves not just writing code, but also actively participating in the entire software development lifecycle, from initial design and architecture through to deployment and ongoing maintenance.
• • A key aspect of this role involves data integration and processing. You will be tasked with collecting data from various external sources and the client's existing services, consolidating it into a unified source. This will involve building sophisticated services for data processing, including mechanisms for manual data entry where necessary, and crucially, automating as much of the existing manual work as possible to enhance efficiency and reduce errors.
• • Collaboration is at the heart of this position. You will work closely with a cross-functional development team, transforming static designs and prototypes into functional, user-friendly features. Your input will be invaluable in providing constructive feedback to optimize implementation strategies and enhance overall usability, ensuring the final product meets both technical and user experience standards.
• • You will be a primary point of contact for addressing technical challenges. This includes providing effective solutions to problems of varying scope and complexity, demonstrating a deep understanding of software architecture and development principles.
• • Strategic involvement with management is expected, where you will contribute to determining project priorities, identifying potential risks, and developing mitigation strategies. Your technical insights will guide decision-making and ensure project success.
• • Maintaining comprehensive and up-to-date documentation for all relevant processes, procedures, and product aspects is a critical responsibility, ensuring knowledge transfer and operational continuity.
• • This role demands technical leadership. You will guide and mentor junior engineers, foster best practices within the team, and champion innovative approaches to software development. Your leadership will be crucial in driving the team towards achieving project goals and upholding high standards of engineering excellence.
• • You will be deeply involved in designing and implementing solutions that leverage modern architectural patterns and cloud technologies, specifically focusing on AWS services. This includes ensuring the application's non-functional requirements, such as security, performance, and scalability, are met with robust and efficient implementations.
• • The role requires a proactive approach to identifying areas for improvement, whether in code quality, development processes, or system architecture, and taking the initiative to implement those improvements.
• • You will contribute to the continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipeline, ensuring smooth and efficient releases of new features and updates.
• • By joining Exadel, you become part of a global AI-first tech company with over 25 years of engineering leadership, working on impactful projects for Fortune 500 clients.
