Full Job Description
Description:

ThunderYard Solutions is seeking an Expert Software Developer with deep experience in Java Spring Boot and React to design, build, and lead the development of modern, scalable enterprise applications. This role is ideal for a highly seasoned engineer who thrives in complex environments, influences architectural decisions, and mentors teams while remaining hands-on with code.

You will work closely with architects, product owners, and senior stakeholders to translate business and mission needs into robust technical solutions. The ideal candidate brings strong technical judgment, a systems-level mindset, and a proven track record of delivering high-quality software in large, distributed environments.

This position requires the ability to work independently, lead technical initiatives, and collaborate effectively across multidisciplinary teams.

Key Responsibilities:

Lead Java Development & Troubleshooting

Act as the SME for the Java codebase—owning application flow, debugging complex issues, and guiding best practices across the team.

Develop with Modern Spring Frameworks

Build and enhance applications using Spring Boot, Spring Batch, and Spring Security to ensure performance, reliability, and security.

Integrate with Azure Entra ID

Support identity and access management through Microsoft Azure Entra ID, including authentication flows, OAuth2, and RBAC.

Build & Own Automated CI/CD Pipelines

Lead the transition from manual deployments to automated pipelines using GitHub. Serve as the primary contact for deployment troubleshooting and release management.

Operate in a High-Pace Environment

Collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver high-quality, scalable solutions under tight timelines.

Basic Qualifications:

Master’s degree in a technical discipline such as Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, or a closely related technical field
15+ years of professional software development experience, including enterprise-scale systems
Expert-level proficiency in Java, with extensive hands-on experience using Spring Boot
Strong experience developing modern front-end applications using React
Deep understanding of:
Service-oriented and microservices architectures
RESTful APIs and web services (SOAP experience a plus)
Object-oriented design, design patterns, and system architecture
Proven experience across the full software development lifecycle: design, development, testing, deployment, and support
Strong debugging, performance tuning, and troubleshooting skills
Experience working in Agile/Scrum environments
Hands-on experience with relational databases (Oracle, SQL Server, or equivalent) and ORM technologies such as JPA/Hibernate
Ability and desire to mentor and guide junior and mid-level developers
Experience collaborating with architects and senior engineers to plan and sequence technical work
Ability to clearly communicate technical direction and delegate implementation tasks
Must be able to obtain a VA Medium-Background Investigation clearance
Additional Desired Qualifications:

Containerized and cloud-native application development using Docker, Kubernetes, and/or OpenShift
CI/CD pipelines and automation tools such as Jenkins
BPM/workflow tools such as Camunda
Experience with AWS services and cloud-based architectures
Compensation

$120,000 – $165,000 annually, plus a comprehensive benefits package including:

Medical, dental, and vision coverage
Paid Time Off (PTO)
Partial 401(k) match
Vetting
