We are seeking a highly motivated and experienced Senior .NET Developer with J2EE platform awareness / contribution with 5–8 years of professional experience to join our team. In this role, you will be a key contributor to a strategic application modernization initiative, transforming a legacy enterprise application into a modern, cloud‑native, microservices‑based platform.
Beyond the initial modernization effort, this pivotal role involves long‑term ownership of the application, including continuous development, system improvements, and feature enhancements in the post‑modernization phase. The successful candidate will operate as a senior owner of a mission‑critical production system, ensuring its stability, performance, scalability, and ongoing evolution to meet future business needs.
The role primarily focuses on building a hybrid microservices platform leveraging a .NET Core backend, a modern HTML5 single‑page application frontend, and an integrated Python‑based service for advanced computation and analytics.
In addition, this role requires a strong willingness to learn, adopt, and contribute to applications built using J2EE technologies as part of the organization’s broader and evolving technology ecosystem. The successful candidate should be open to working across both .NET and J2EE platforms as business needs evolve, supporting cross‑platform collaboration and potential future transition initiatives.
You will collaborate closely with cross‑functional teams to deliver high‑quality, scalable, and resilient solutions while actively participating across all stages of the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) and Agile development processes.
