Job Description

Title: Senior Associate Software Engineer/Senior Lead Software Engineer
Location: Chicago, IL 60602 - Onsite 3 days per week
Duration: 6 Month Contract to Hire

Must Haves:
5-8+ years of overall software engineering experience
4-6+ years in Site Reliability Engineering
Experience developing, supporting, and managing cloud technologies
Experience working with onshore/offshore teams
Pivotal Cloud Foundry (PCF) experience, which is the platform they currently use, OR Microsoft Azure since they working to move over to Azure soon
5+ years of experience working with Java, React, Spring Boot, and any other website technologies
Ability to work flexible hours when needed (may have to take SWAT calls outside normal business hours + will be in on-call rotation once every couple of months for 1 week at a time)

Notes:
Really needing someone who has developed, supported, and managed cloud technologies
Not looking for someone to develop the application from the ground up, but someone who understands the architecture and has the drive to engage other teams and get issues resolved + can troubleshoot.
Must have an application background, financial experience is preferred, who can understand how the application, transfers, and logins work. NOT someone who has developed a transfer between applications - that is a totally different role.
Will be working with developers and architects - should have development background to understand how things are being developed.
This resource won't be talking directly to clients, but talking to other business partners internally.
They will need to be on SWAT calls for major incidents
Frequency depends - they do have a rotation for on call shifts between offshore and onsite resources - so won't be on 24-7. It will likely be a weekly basis rotation - once every couple of months they will be on call for a week.
Need past operational experience

Plusses:
Experience with Kafka and Datastage
Angular or React
If they managed mission critical applications, but don't have experience with either of these, they would consider them, as well
Experience managing a financial website
