About the position

We are looking for Java developers who like to innovate and solve solutions to complex problems. We recognize that strength comes from diversity and will embrace your unique skills, curiosity, drive, and passion while giving you the opportunity to grow technically and as an individual. We are committed to open source and we regularly give our work back to the community. Engineers looking to work in the areas of data pipelines, discovery, storage, distribution, distributed computation, consumption and infrastructure are ideal candidates. Java developers are expected to be involved from inception of projects, understand requirements, architect, develop, deploy, and maintain applications. Typically they work in a multi-disciplinary squad (we follow Agile!) which involves partnering with program and product managers to expand product offering based on business demands. Design is an iterative process, whether for UX, services or infrastructure. Our goal is to drive up user engagement and adoption of the platform while constantly working towards modernizing and improving platform performance and scalability. Deployment and maintenance requires close interaction with various teams. This requires maintaining a positive and collaborative working relationship with teams within DOE as well as with the wider Aladdin developer community. Production support for applications is usually required for issues that cannot be resolved by the operations team. Creative and inventive problem-solving skills for reduced turnaround times are highly valued. Preparing user documentation to maintain both development and operations continuity is integral to the role. Adhering to Client's UX and design standards is expected and contributing towards the upkeep of those standards is encouraged.
