Goals and deliverables:

We are looking for experienced Java consultants to build new application components, REST/SOAP APIs and integration flows, design and develop ETL pipelines (e.g., using Apache Camel, Kafka, Spark, or commercial ETL tools), integrate the new components and functions with the existing platform, and provide back-fill support for BAU team members who transition to the project.
