• Write clean, efficient, and well-documented code in both Java and Rust.
• Conduct code reviews and uphold best practices in both environments.
• Troubleshoot and resolve complex technical issues in both legacy and new systems.
• Provide technical guidance and support to team members as needed.

Requirements:

• Extensive experience as a Java Developer with a strong understanding of enterprise application development.

• Excellent communication and collaboration skills.
• Willingness and aptitude to learn and adopt Rust programming for the migration effort.

Good to Have:
