Staff engineer

Title: Staff Engineer

Location: Fully Remote

Duration: 6 Months

production-bound code across the full stack, then own, review, and make that code production-ready.

The Staff Engineer I (Java) provides senior technical leadership for backend Java development supporting the Workflow Orchestration Initiative, delivering scalable and secure services that enable enterprise workflow and automation solutions. This role combines deep Java and microservices expertise with close collaboration across workflow platform and core engineering teams. This individual will support the Payment BU Workflow Intelligence and Optimization Initiative, contributing to the design and implementation of workflowdriven solutions and the backend Java services that will enable them. Working with architects and senior engineers, this role drives backend architecture, development, and integration to deliver reusable, highquality solutions.

Responsibilities:

• Use Claude and AI-native coding tools to generate, review, and deliver large volumes of production-ready code across the full stack backend services, frontend components, APIs, workflows, and tests with full ownership and accountability.
• Lead the design and development of Java backend services supporting workflow orchestration platforms such as Appian.Define backend architecture standards, design patterns, and best practices for workflowcentric solutions.Partner with workflow platform engineers to translate workflow requirements into robust APIs and integrations.Design and build scalable microservices using Java and Springbased frameworks.Drive integrations with enterprise systems using REST, messaging, and eventdriven patterns.Collaborate with product, infrastructure, security, and data teams to ensure endtoend alignment.Support CI/CD, DevSecOps, observability, and automated testing for backend services.Mentor engineers, conduct code and design reviews, and promote engineering excellence.

Qualifications: Required Qualifications

• Hands-on experience using Claude, Copilot, Cursor, or equivalent AI coding tools to deliver working software in a professional setting.
• Bachelor s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience).7+ years of enterprise application development, with 5+ years of Java experience.Strong expertise in microservices architecture, API design, and system integration.Experience with Spring Boot / Spring Cloud, RESTful APIs, and service security.Handson experience with relational databases (PostgreSQL preferred), schema design, and performance tuning.Experience with caching strategies (e.g., Redis, Memcached).Familiarity integrating Java services with workflow orchestration platforms such as Appian.Strong understanding of agile development practices (SAFe preferred).Excellent communication skills with technical and business stakeholders.

Preferred Qualifications

• Demonstrated experience in an AI-native development model generating code across the full stack through Claude or equivalent tools, reviewing output, and owning delivery end to end.
• Experience building Java integrations or extensions for workflow orchestration or BPM platforms (e.g., Appian, Camunda, JBPM).Background in Healthcare IT, payment integrity, or payer systems.Experience contributing to a Workflow or Integration Center of Excellence (CoE).Exposure to AIenabled backend services supporting workflow intelligence.
