Complex Problem Solving: Direct system refactoring, performance optimization, and root-cause incident resolution for high-impact applications.
Responsibilities
Collaborate closely with business analysts to perform detailed requirements analysis and technical feasibility assessments.
Author comprehensive solution design and architecture artifacts, including conceptual, logical, and physical models.
Complete architecture checkpoint activities, support governance reviews, and lead technical design walkthroughs.
Develop, code, and integrate multi-tier full-stack application components, REST APIs, SOAP web services, and user interface components.
Build unit and integration test cases, execute component testing, and collaborate with QA teams to support functional, performance, and security testing.
Investigate, diagnose, and resolve technical incidents, leading root-cause analyses and system optimizations.
Direct and lead development teams, assigning work packages and ensuring deliverables align with project parameters and ITIL best practices.
Prepare comprehensive technical documentation, deployment guides, user manuals, and conduct knowledge transfer walkthroughs for project teams.
Partner with project managers, technical leads, and external service delivery partners to ensure seamless solution delivery.
Qualifications

Multi-Platform Stack Exposure: Proven experience across enterprise technologies including JEE/JEE components (JSP, Servlets, EJB, JDBC, JMS), Struts, .NET, application servers (Tomcat, WebLogic, WebSphere), operating systems (Windows, Solaris), and Oracle PL/SQL.
Development & Modeling Tools: Hands-on proficiency with design and IDE tools such as MS Visio, PowerDesigner, Eclipse, JetBrains IntelliJ, and VS Code.
Methodologies & ITIL: In-depth understanding of enterprise systems analysis methodologies, work estimation techniques, project management frameworks, and ITIL best practices.
Preferred Assets & Technical Capabilities
Public Sector Context: Familiarity with government strategies, directives, security/privacy baselines, and architecture governance checkpoints.
Security Protocols: Knowledge of security standards, PKI, VPNs, LDAP, and secure application packaging.
Soft Skills & Leadership Attributes
Technical Leadership: Proven ability to lead developers and testers, direct technical staff, and manage service delivery partners.
