Senior Java Software Developer

Responsibilities for this assignment include:

1. Working with the user staff to develop design documents and SQL-driven screen prototypes from user requirements within a rapid turnaround cycle.
2. Assist in presenting the resultant prototype to various end-user audiences to demonstrate screen content, dialog, and usability and to identify and incorporate user-requested changes as directed by the technical leader.
3. Transform the approved prototype and design into a JBoss JEE, Primefaces, JSF, EJB and Hibernate application for external users to provide external authorization application, issuance, renewal, and termination support. To do this, two systems exist to allow TCEQ Users to set up permit processing data and for external facility owners and operators to request, receive, renew, and terminate client operating authorization. Systems interact with other agency systems via web service, Oracle database, and proxy technologies.
4. Producing module specifications, unit test requirements, and system and integration test requirements.
5. Implementing applications in complex environments in an iterative prototype-user evaluation life cycle with later more complete functional versions accessible to select external users via the Internet to verify functional provisions and usability, including access by disabled persons and those using screen readers such as JAWS and the NVDA.
6. Developing detailed flowcharts and models, implementing specifications, and performing modifications from design reviews, prototype evaluations and assessment testing.
7. Producing running program modules, which meet client and World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) specifications and standards.
8. Outlining, formatting, and producing detailed program and user documentation.
9. Performing acceptance testing and incorporating necessary changes before formal production release implementation.
10. Communicating and working with people of all technical levels in a team environment.
