London, United Kingdom TEKsystems Full time

Description:

Working with one of our largest global clients on a new system being built in Java to replace the old system, which is in Perl and can't support the increasing traffic.

The task involves transitioning to the new system, a global project requiring engineers with experience in large distributed systems. Everyone will play a hands-on role in this project. Consultants need experience in leading teams and contributing to software architecture. Knowledge of Perl will be helpful as it involves debugging legacy Perl code and migrating to Java for the platform and endpoints that are already created. The software development lead will customize the API designs to fit each workstream. Experience in Cloud Services and distributed systems is critical for success in this role.

This project isn't about creating new APIs; it's primarily about migrating clients to already established strategic endpoints. The challenge lies in migrating from service A to service B. Some services have as few as four, and some have as many as twelve active services that need to be migrated. This person will also need to maintain the code standard and ensure the quality of the software before it's pushed for production release.

Top non-negotiable Skills:

1)8+ years of Building and designing software and API migration experience within Java (Guice is preferred but if they have Guice and Spring) and working knowledge of PERL.

2)6+ years of Work on highly distributed systems from enterprise level companies

3)4 + years of CI/CD environments from a cloud environment

4)Computer Science degree is required.

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:

•Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science or related field,

•Computer Science fundamentals in OO design, data structures and algorithm design

•6+ year relevant work experience in building and managing complex systems in production.

•6+ or more years’ experience in software development, proficient in Java (Guice and Spring) and working experience in PERL.

•Understanding of CI/CD, Git based version control, agile scrum methodologies.

•Experience with testing, profiling, debugging, and optimizing large scale systems.

•Ability to learn and adapt quickly to the engineering practices in the team.

•Excellent team player. Ability to estimate, plan, track and deliver individual tasks on time.

•Strong communication skills both verbal and written.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:

•Strong, object-oriented design and coding skills (Perl and Java preferably on a UNIX or Linux platform)

•Experience in building test harness and test infrastructure.

•Experience with distributed (multi-tiered) systems architecture, algorithms, and relational database,

•Ability to refactor programs effectively and evaluate optimization opportunities from system performance and risks perspective.

•Ability to effectively articulate technical challenges, risks, tradeoffs and solutions

Employee Value Proposition:

Fully remote opp to work for one of the world's biggest organisations
