• Review technical designs, code, unit testing, deployment plans, and production changes.
• Establish and promote coding, quality, reuse, and performance standards.
• Identify and remediate technical debt, inefficient code, and data-quality issues.
• Provide hands-on support during production incidents, troubleshooting sessions, and SRT calls.
• Mentor and guide developers while partnering closely with team members.
• Review data flows from SAP and non-SAP sources into reporting applications.
• Support data validation, reconciliation, audit checkpoints, and the resolution of data mismatches.
• Collaborate with other squads that share enterprise reporting and data capabilities.
• Assist with federal and state reporting requirements and related application support.
Required Qualifications
• Strong experience developing enterprise applications with Java and Spring Boot.
• Experience with Angular, REST APIs, SQL, and PostgreSQL or comparable relational databases.
• Demonstrated experience as a senior developer, technical lead, or team lead.
• Ability to guide a development team while remaining hands-on technically.
• Experience with technical design, backlog refinement, code reviews, testing, and deployment support.
• Knowledge of data integration, ETL processes, and data quality practices.
• Experience troubleshooting production issues and supporting critical applications.
• Strong communication, collaboration, and problem-solving skills.
Preferred Qualifications
• Experience with IBM DataStage or comparable ETL technologies.
• Familiarity with SAP and non-SAP data sources.
• Experience supporting reporting platforms or regulated data environments.
• Knowledge of data reconciliation, audit controls, and reporting data validation.
• Experience working across multiple application or delivery squads.
Ideal Candidate Profile
The successful candidate will be a collaborative technical leader who can help the team work more efficiently, improve application quality, and provide hands-on guidance throughout the software development lifecycle.
