Java Back-End Solution Development - Senior Consultant

You will enable modern application transformation while being surrounded by people who are passionate about building modern applications that demonstrate leading technologies. You will learn our client’s business, organization, systems, challenges and goals, and utilize that knowledge on a team to deliver outstanding results.

Gather and analyze requirements from technical and business stakeholders

Provide technical design recommendations and oversight to create or modify systems, applications, or software components
