Lead Java Developer

Job Summary:
We are seeking an experienced Senior Java Developer to join the CSMS modernization team. You will design, develop, and maintain mission-critical microservices and applications that support child support case management operations. The role requires strong experience in microservices — building, deploying, and maintaining loosely coupled, independently deployable services. Your work will span web application development, REST API services, batch processing, and system integrations within a cloud-native environment.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design, develop, and maintain microservices using Spring Boot, following domain-driven design and service decomposition best practices
• Build and deploy loosely coupled, independently deployable services with well-defined API contracts
• Develop scalable web applications, RESTful APIs, batch jobs, and integration services for the application platform
• Develop and optimize Spring Batch jobs for high-volume data processing, reporting, and scheduled workflows
• Implement data access layers using Hibernate/JPA against PostgreSQL databases
• Manage inter-service communication patterns including synchronous REST calls and asynchronous messaging
• Collaborate with architects and business analysts to translate requirements into technical solutions
• Participate in code reviews, enforce coding standards, and mentor junior developers
• Troubleshoot application issues and provide timely resolutions across distributed microservices
• Contribute to CI/CD pipeline improvements and deployment automation for microservices
• Write unit and integration tests to ensure code quality and reliability
• Work with cross-functional teams on system integration efforts including third-party and inter-agency data exchanges
• Other duties as assigned.

Consultants may be eligible to telecommute for more than 50% of their work hours, up to and including 100% remote work. Telecommuting arrangements require direct manager approval and are subject to change based on program needs. Consultants approved for 100% remote work must attend monthly in-person meetings at the Albany office and be available for major milestone meetings as needed.

Please note that for Mandatory Qualification 1, all candidates that apply MUST justify and provide examples of their experience leading technical designs sessions, establishing coding standards, conducting rigorous code reviews, and mentoring junior-to-mid-level developers within an Agile/Scrum environment.
