Durham NC or Burlington NC (Hybrid – 3 days onsite)

Rate

Pay Rate: $50-$52/hr. W2

MUST HAVE:

  • 6-7 years as a Java Developer  java 11-21 & Spring Boot
  • Strong AWS experience (hands-on preferred)
  • Messaging systems experience (Kafka, RabbitMQ, or SQS)
  • Experience building and maintaining backend services in a production environment

Nice To Have:

  • Exposure to Infrastructure as Code (Terraform – nice to have)
  •  Familiarity with AI coding tools (Claude, Cursor, Codex) – highly valued

Job Description:

Team: Histology Pod – Connect Program (Corporate IT)

About the Program

  • The Connect program is a multi‑year modernization initiative migrating legacy COBOL-based LIMS systems to a modern Java + Spring Boot + Angular + AWS stack. The system spans 35 medical disciplines, with Histology and Cytology as key modules. This role joins the Histology pod, supporting both a backfill and new feature expansion as additional lab workflows come online.
  • You’ll build in a brownfield environment: extending and evolving a complex, high-dependency system where disciplined sequencing and architecture choices matter.

What You’ll Do

  • Design, build, and deploy RESTful microservices with Spring Boot on AWS, following enterprise standards and secure-by-default practices.
  • Collaborate directly with business stakeholders via the liaison team to understand lab workflows and translate them into scalable, reliable services.
  • Promote engineering excellence: code quality, testing discipline, observability, secure coding, and CI/CD best practices.
  • Mentor engineers on design choices, code reviews, and modern Java practices.
  • Champion AI-augmented development (e.g., Cursor, CodeWhisperer, Cloud Code) to improve productivity and delivery speed.
  • Participate in Agile ceremonies (daily standups, sprint planning/reviews) and contribute to continuous improvement.

Must-Have Qualifications

  • 6+ years backend engineering experience building enterprise-grade systems.
  • Strong Java (11–21) fundamentals; modern Java features and idioms preferred.
  • Spring Boot and REST API development experience (required).
  • AWS (critical must-have): 3+ years hands-on experience (prefer 5+) with services such as Lambda, S3, SQS/SNS, API Gateway, ECS/EKS/EC2, IAM. AWS depth matters more than generic “cloud.”
  • Brownfield systems experience: evolving existing platforms, respecting constraints, and sequencing changes to avoid system-level dependency conflicts.
  • Solid understanding of application security (e.g., Spring Security, OAuth 2.0, OIDC) and secure design.
  • Proficiency with datastores: SQL (e.g., Postgres/Oracle) and at least familiarity with NoSQL (e.g., DynamoDB).
  • CI/CD with Git-based workflows and build tools (Jenkins/GitHub Actions, Maven/Gradle, SonarQube).
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to work directly with business stakeholders on requirements and workflows.
  • Openness to AI tooling in day-to-day development; able to discuss what you’ve tried and how you use it responsibly and effectively.

Nice-to-Have

  • Messaging/eventing: Kafka, RabbitMQ, SQS/SNS (used in the environment; not a deal-breaker).
  • Containerization & platforms: Docker, Kubernetes/OpenShift.
  • Observability: AppDynamics/Dynatrace/Datadog; logs via Splunk or ELK/OpenSearch.
  • Testing discipline: TDD with JUnit 5, Mockito; strong coverage habits.
  • Infrastructure as Code: Terraform/CloudFormation.
  • Experience in healthcare/LIMS domain.
  • Familiarity with agentic coding practices, prompt engineering, and LLM concepts.

Thank You
