The Senior Java Developer has responsibilities across the full Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) from business requirements to support, but they are primarily focused on refactoring existing functionality provided by a Spring-based Java application into Python-based AWS Lambda microservices and development of features and functionality within the myColorado mobile application for Android (Java/Kotlin.) Development activities include: working with business analysts and customers to understand requirements; working with team members to apply secure programming techniques using standards and best practices; commenting code for peers and testers; developing unit tests, configuration management, source code control, deployment and release management; and providing support services as needed. Operational support services vary in scope from minor bug fixes (tickets) to major enhancements (change orders). As an application reaches the sunset stage, the developer is also expected to participate in planning efforts around replacement and modernization. The developer operates at the application level. The Senior Java Developer collaborates across a matrix management environment with other developers and other OIT department staff as needed. Must understand lines of authority and follow protocol to engage other resources. The Senior Java Developer performs all job duties without additional prompting by supervisor or team lead.
Required tasks to fulfill primary responsibility:
Consult with Solution Architects, Solution Engineers, and others as appropriate to design applications in line with OIT strategies (e.g., Cloud First, Mobile First, Secure Colorado, etc.).
Collaborate with ScrumMasters, Business Analysts, Customers, Project Coordinators, Project Managers, and others as appropriate to assist in the creation of estimates and timelines.
Develop applications in line with business requirements using Agile or Waterfall methodologies as needed.
Perform coding (in-house applications) or configuration management (Platform applications) in accordance with standards and best practices and further minimize defects through disciplined unit testing.
Coordinate update releases and other system changes, contribute to the implementation of break/fix solutions, and update documentation and configuration information related to changes as needed throughout the life cycle.
Organize, build, and validate all segments of the code related to a specific build (release) for final User Acceptance Testing.
Ensure development activities are consistent with established service portfolio policies, procedures, standards and guidelines.
Determine the best approach in the development of an application’s code to meet the customer’s current requirements and anticipate future enhancement needs.
Identify and recommend changes to development policies, processes, templates and standard operating procedures to improve the overall quality of work being delivered.
Collaborate across a matrix management environment with other developers and other OIT department staff as needed. Must understand lines of authority and follow protocol to engage other resources.
Find unique ways to resolve issues in the development process to meet the requirements of the customers and lead to the most efficient implementation possible.
Handle simultaneous requests of varying complexity from within OIT.
Adhere to Change Management policies and protocols established by OIT, particularly related to implementing production system changes.
The Senior Java Developer focuses on mobile applications and web services. The candidate will collaborate with OIT, our vendors, and our customers to bring existing and new cloud- and mobile-based Minimum Viable Product (MVP) and Proof of Concept (PoC) projects into a standard SDLC.
The candidate will leverage the appropriate, expedient technology to connect disparate systems, create simple user interfaces, access data, and document work and decisions. Opportunities to present and to train users of the systems will be numerous. This is a position that requires constant learning without formal instruction and a love and aptitude for solving problems.
