strong proficiency in Java with Spring Boot for backend microservices development - this is the primary backend stack for the migration program * Solid frontend development skills in React.js or Angular - ability to build responsive, accessible web UIs that replace legacy mainframe screens and green-screen interfaces end users currently interact with * Strong REST API design and development skills - ability to design clean, versioned, well-documented APIs that serve as the interface between the new cloud platform and frontend applications * Hands-on experience with AWS cloud services used in migration programs - EC2, Lambda, API Gateway, RDS/Aurora, DynamoDB, S3, SQS, SNS, Cognito - and understanding of when to use each * Proficiency in SQL for relational databases; experience working with both relational (RDS/Aurora, PostgreSQL) and NoSQL (DynamoDB) databases in cloud-native application design * Experience with microservices architecture patterns - service decomposition, event-driven design, API-first development, and 12-factor application principles for cloud-native workloads * Familiarity with containerization using Docker and deployment via AWS ECS or EKS (Kubernetes) - understanding of how to package, deploy, and manage services in containers * Hands-on CI/CD experience - building and maintaining pipelines using Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or AWS CodePipeline for automated build, test, and deployment across environments * Experience with unit testing and integration testing frameworks - JUnit, Mockito, Jest, or React Testing Library - and commitment to maintaining meaningful test coverage * Ability to understand legacy mainframe data structures and business logic (with SME guidance) and translate them into equivalent cloud-native application behavior - the core skill of this migration program ## Description * Build the cloud-native replacement applications that take over the business functions currently running on the mainframe - this is the core job; each engineer owns specific modules from design through deployment * Develop backend microservices using Java and Spring Boot that implement business logic equivalent to existing COBOL programs - working closely with SMEs to understand what the legacy code does and ensuring the new service does it correctly * Build frontend web UIs using React.js or Angular that replace legacy mainframe screens - designing workflows that are intuitive for business users who are transitioning from character-based interfaces * Design and build REST APIs that expose migrated business functionality - ensure APIs are secure, versioned, documented in OpenAPI/Swagger, and aligned with the integration contracts agreed with other workstream teams * Integrate new services with AWS managed services - RDS/Aurora for relational data, DynamoDB for high-throughput use cases, SQS/SNS for async messaging, and Lambda for serverless processing * Work with the Data Engineer to consume migrated data from AWS target stores - understand source data mappings, validate data in the new schema, and ensure application behavior is correct against migrated datasets * Write comprehensive unit and integration tests for all delivered code - not as an afterthought but as part of the Definition of Done for every story * Participate actively in all sprint ceremonies - daily stand-up, sprint planning, backlog refinement, and retrospective - with clear daily updates and early escalation of technical blockers * Conduct and receive peer code reviews - enforce team coding standards, flag design issues, and treat every review as both a quality gate and a learning opportunity * Maintain technical documentation as a sprint deliverable - API specs, data flow diagrams, deployment notes, and known issues - so the program does not accumulate undocumented knowledge debt ## Related Videos - [Effective Java Strategies and Architectures for Clouds](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/186-effective-java-strategies-and-architectures-for-clouds) - [Docker Compose: Rediscovered](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1978-docker-compose-rediscovered) - [How Unit Testing Saved My Career](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1642-how-unit-testing-saved-my-career) - [Leveraging Real time data in FSIs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/806-leveraging-real-time-data-in-fsis) - [The Evolution of Enterprise Java with Jakarta EE 11 and Beyond](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1562-the-evolution-of-enterprise-java-with-jakarta-ee-11-and-beyond) - [Docker build without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100114-docker-build-without-docker) ## Related Articles - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [Top 10 Java Libraries](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/364-top-10-java-libraries) - [93 Java Interview Questions You Should Prepare For](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/14-93-java-interview-questions-you-should-prepare-for) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated)
