Job Title: Sr Engineer
Location: Newark, NJ (2 days onsite/week) OR 100% Remote
Duration: 6+ Months (Contract to Hire)
The team is looking for a
broadly skilled generalist with experience in modernizing legacy applications, particularly with cloud technologies, microservices, and Kubernetes. The person in this role should be able to educate and guide the team on new technologies, while also contributing hands-on expertise. The position will likely be adjusted to reflect these broader needs and reposted as
Senior Infrastructure Engineer or
Infrastructure Developer.
- The position should not only focus on writing Java code but also involve experience in application modernization and infrastructure, particularly related to:
- Moving legacy applications to the cloud (e.g., AWS, Kubernetes).
- Offering guidance on how to modernize applications (e.g., transforming monolithic systems to microservices).
- Providing recommendations on solutions for modernizing legacy systems.
Team Overview & Needs
- Team Challenges:
- The team is entrenched in older technologies and lacks experience with modern application deployment (e.g., Kubernetes, AWS, cloud-native solutions).
- There's a need for fresh ideas and a stronger grasp on modern technologies, especially around deployment pipelines, cloud, and containerization.
- Role Expectations:
- The person in this role needs to have a broad technical background and be adaptable. Ideally, they should have worked across different technologies and environments over their career, rather than being a specialist in just one area (e.g., Java).
- The goal is to bring in someone who can educate the team, demonstrate new technologies, and provide thought leadership on modern development and infrastructure practices.
- The new hire will be expected to work closely with the team, especially with senior technical members, to help modernize the application stack.
- They'll need to communicate effectively with both technical and less technical team members, providing guidance and training where needed.
Desired Skills & Experience
- Core Skills:
- Programming experience: Broad background, comfortable with Java, but not necessarily a Java expert.
- Modernization experience: Knowledge of migrating legacy applications to the cloud and working with modern technologies like microservices and containers.
- Infrastructure and architecture: Familiarity with modern infrastructure (e.g., Kubernetes, AWS), application deployment, and infrastructure as code.
- Leadership and mentorship: Ability to lead initiatives and educate the team on new tools and practices.
- Additional Beneficial Skills:
- Python programming: Especially for scripting and automation tasks.
- API and microservices experience: Writing and consuming APIs, working with microservices architecture.
- Security & Authentication: Experience with authentication products, security tools (e.g., HashiCorp Vault).
Generalist Background: The ideal candidate has a varied career, with experience in multiple technical areas and roles over time
