A full stack JAVA developer with at least 5 years of experience working on any large scale projects. This role REQUIRES a self-starting PROBLEM SOLVER to support the development efforts for a large scale STRUTS to SPRING MVC conversion. The role requires HANDS-ON experience developing in full-stack JAVA and using JSP for front-end screen updates. This is a direct CODING role and candidates must have RECENT experience developing and using the noted toolsets. Developers in this role must be able to solve problems and develop creative solutions – this is NOT a ‘copy-paste’ or ‘template-only’ development role.
• Ideal candidates have deep full-stack Java experience, with recent hands-on JSP development with the ability to analyze and design technical solutions independently.
• Junior candidates, candidates without recent code-development experience, theoretical analysts, or ‘pool developers’ will not be considered; these MUST BE independent and experienced candidates. Candidates MUST BE vetted by the vendor for hands-on technical skills.
• Experience creating Spring Tags, converting from STRUTS to SPRING, and developing complex systems are a plus. Recent on-the-job JSP experience is preferred.
• Candidates will be interviewed with cameras on and tested on their ability to create Java Classes, develop JSP pages, and explain their process. Candidates may be asked to demonstrate they are interviewing without the support of tools or mentors.
• Preference will be given to candidates with verifiable JAVA, JSP and SPRING MVC development/coding skills (i.e., code testing results from certified tests).
