Senior Java Software Engineer

• Software Engineer – 5 Years

• Senior Software Engineer – 8 Years

Location: Latam (Remote)

Contract – Position

Client: Persistent Systems

We are planning to hire 4–5 engineers for our nearshore team. Ideally, we would like to have one Tech Lead and four Engineers (Software Engineer / Senior Software Engineer).

For the Lead role, we expect someone who can provide technical direction, break down requirements, and guide the engineering team. Since we are a Java-focused organization, we are specifically looking for engineers with a strong Java background. Our goal is to establish the team as soon as possible.

Below are the job requirements for both Software Engineer and Tech Lead roles:

Technical Requirements:

1. Strong hands-on experience with Java 8 / Java 17 and Spring Boot.
2. Solid experience working with microservices.
3. Good understanding of databases; SQL Server or Oracle experience is sufficient.
4. Experience in both UI and backend development (HTML, JavaScript, jQuery, Angular).
5. Strong verbal and written communication skills.
6. Ability to write unit tests and follow proper development standards.

Additional Responsibilities for Tech Lead:

1. Ability to lead a team of 4–5 engineers and QA members.
2. Experience gathering and analyzing requirements, and creating implementation plans.
3. Ability to define both functional and non-functional requirements for the team.
4. Provide clear technical direction and guidance.
5. Take ownership of team deliverables.

Team Context:

• This is a new team, with support from an onshore team.

• The team is being created to support the integration of Sardine into our application.

• There is a Product Owner and Project Manager; no BA will be hired. The Tech Lead will translate project requirements.

• Interview process includes a live coding exercise. After clearing the technical lead interview, the hiring manager will conduct a final discussion.

• General SQL knowledge is sufficient. We use Oracle (PL/SQL), but anyone with ANSI SQL experience can adapt. We use a custom framework for DB access (no Hibernate/JPA).

• The engagement is initially short-term, with potential for long-term depending on performance and budget.

Technical Stack Notes:

• Looking for Full Stack Developers with strong Java + UI capabilities.

• Angular is not mandatory; our frontend stack primarily uses jQuery and JSP.

• Backend technologies include Java 8, JBoss framework, Jersey for APIs, Spring Boot (for DI), along with utilities like Swagger, Prometheus, SLF4J, and standard monitoring/logging tools.

• Unit testing: JUnit is used.
