This opportunity would allow you to be responsible for application development and support of high-quality, electronic products working in a highly collaborative, cross functional team for a local educational technology company. The idea is to eliminate duplication of functionality, currently existing in my clients products.  Each of the products has its own vertical slice of architecture - artifact of various mergers and purchases. They are looking to construct a centralized SOA within their existing products.  You’d get involved with implementing SOA solutions for their technology platform. This might include deployment orchestration process’ routing, messaging, Aggregation Strategies. This role will also include the design and development of client facing web applications for millions of users.

As I mentioned above, orchestration process’ utilizing Camel routing, ActiveMQ messaging, and Camel Aggregation Strategies. Also, you might be involved in helping them define enterprise standards for SOA, providing UML system diagrams as part of the system design, facilitate cross-team collaboration, and propose design elements to improve service interoperability. Implement generic algorithm for traversal of directed acyclic course graph generate synthetic deployment events for distribution in content-based routing workflow, as part of their course deployment process. Utilize Cassandra back-end store for deployment to runtime environment. Web service end points via Apache CXF.
