Description:
Java Tech Lead - Data Integration Squad

Our Data Integration Squad is dedicated to Proagrica's highest value client - and its primary responsibility is to ensure that their data have been migrated efficiently and correctly to Proagrica's agX Data platform. The associated pipelines will continue operating for the foreseeable future, keeping legacy and new systems in-sync.
The basis of said data pipelines has already been established, with additional work required to turn the rig into a production system. //Work includes stabilisation, bug fixes, maintenance etc.

Who you are
--- You have significant experience (5+ years) in a hands-on development capacity, as well as 3+ years in a leadership position.
--- You are an expert Java Developer with experience in Spring Framework (and ideally Grails) [MUST]
--- You have deep understanding of Data APIs and have worked on data integration projects involving large volume legacy data estates. [MUST]
--- You have experience of building and maintaining CI/CD Pipelines (ideally Gitlab based)
--- You have worked in client-facing projects, communicating frequently with senior client stakeholders. [MUST]
--- You possess a deep understanding of Agile principles, alongside a passion for championing said principles within the squad.
--- Any experience in the GIS or Ag Tech domain would be hugely beneficial.

What the job involves
--- You will be performing hands-on development, whilst setting and enforcing best practices and improving code quality of existing components - including the creation of unit tests, code reviews etc.
--- You will be acting as an expert on design/architectural/infosec matters - including the review of existing solutions as well as proposals for improvements. You will have the gravitas and confidence to rationalise (and push back when necessary) on any proposals and demands.
--- You will actively participate in meetings with our key client, as well as confidently handling any type of communications with said client.
--- You will be taking on troubleshooting for "tricky" issues, such as memory leaks and logical problems.
--- You will be authoring and maintaining technical documentation.
--- You will be assisting in the facilitation of our Agile processes, including JIRA maintenance, input into backlog prioritisation etc.
--- You will be working with a team that is split between the UK and the US. Whilst there is no requirement to work in a timezone other than your own, you are expected to be able to prioritise and organise your working day to cater to our squad's setup (including the fact that you might have to progress work unsupervised)
