I. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES
We are seeking a Java Developer with strong analytical skills to support application understanding, code analysis, and modernization initiatives. This role will focus on reviewing existing Java codebases, identifying business logic, and collaborating closely with Business Analysts (BAs) to translate technical functionality into clear functional requirements. The ideal candidate should be comfortable working with legacy or complex Java applications and be able to bridge the gap between technical and business teams.
Key Responsibilities
- Analyze existing Java applications to understand business logic, workflows, and system behavior
- Review source code (Spring, Java EE, or legacy frameworks) to identify:
o Business rules
o Data flows
o Integration points
- Collaboration with Business Analysts to:
o Explain technical functionality in business terms
o Validate requirements against existing system behavior
- Document findings include:
o Functional specifications
o Process flows
o Data mappings
o Technical Design Documents
- Support application modernization efforts by identifying reusable logic and dependencies
- Assist in troubleshooting and clarifying system behavior during testing phases
- Participate in discussions with architects, developers, and stakeholders to ensure accurate understanding of current systems
- Analyzing the bridging from the legacy apps using Struts, EJB, or other Java EE design patterns, also some instances of bridging from the newer apps using Spring.
- Experience with Unix/Linux and Bourne/Korn shell scripting is useful
Key Skills
- Code Analysis & Reverse Engineering
- Business Logic Identification
- Technical Documentation
- Collaboration with BA/Functional Teams
- System Integration Understanding
What Success Looks Like
- Ability to quickly understand and explain existing system behavior
- Clear documentation of business rules derived from code
- Effective collaboration between technical and business teams
- Contribution to accurate and efficient modernization planning
ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS:
- Application Develop software, or forms components, recommend database schema changes and ensuring they adhere to RRC and industry standards, best practices, and customer requirements. Perform testing to verify that the product matches the requirements, including the creation of test data, test cases and test scripts.
- Technical Skill: Perform technical analysis on existing defects or proposed enhancements to increase efficiency or to adapt to new procedures. Identify root cause and solution for complex problems
- Team Contribution: Collaborate with the project team for sprint/release work on tasks such as providing development effort estimates, discussing architecture and design, triage and resolving defects or issues in multiple environments and providing status on work assignments or issues. Prepare and maintain technical documentation as required (i.e., process flows, object or data models, project plans, environment diagrams, test plans, etc.).
