Job Title: Java Backend Developer – Cloud Migration (ARO / OpenShift) || Charleston, SC

About The Role

We are migrating critical backend services to Azure Red Hat OpenShift (ARO) . We are looking for a Java Backend Developer who can refactor, containerize, and deploy existing Java applications into a Kubernetes-native environment. You will leverage modern developer tooling (VS Code, GitHub Copilot, Podman) and collaborate on CI/CD pipelines (Azure DevOps).

Key Responsibilities

  • Refactor existing Java/Spring Boot applications for cloud-native deployment on ARO (Azure Red Hat OpenShift) or OCP.
  • Build container images using Podman (or Docker) and manage local deployment tests.
  • Use VS Code as primary IDE (IntelliJ/Eclipse acceptable) with GitHub Copilot to accelerate coding, troubleshooting, and test creation.
  • Manage source code via GitHub repositories (branching, PRs, actions).
  • Work with Azure DevOps (ADO) for building, artifact management, and optional CI/CD exposure.
  • Troubleshoot Java applications in containerized/OpenShift environments (logs, routes, config maps, secrets).
  • Collaborate with platform teams to align migration patterns (e.g., statelessness, externalized config, health checks).

Required Skills – Java Backend

  • Java 11/17 (or 21) with strong backend experience (Spring Boot, Micronaut, or Quarkus).
  • Experience with REST APIs, JDBC / JPA, messaging (Kafka/RabbitMQ is a plus).
  • Understanding of application migration from VM/physical to containers.

Container & Cloud (ARO / OCP)

  • Working knowledge of Kubernetes / OpenShift concepts (pods, deployments, services, routes).
  • Podman or Docker – local image build, multi-stage builds, volume mapping.
  • Familiarity with ARO (Azure Red Hat OpenShift) or willingness to learn quickly.
  • YAML manifests (Deployment, Service, ConfigMap, Secrets).

Developer Tooling & AI

  • VS Code extensions for Java, Copilot, and Kubernetes/OpenShift.
  • Active use of GitHub Copilot for debugging, unit testing, and boilerplate generation.
  • GitHub repo management (PR reviews, actions).

CI/CD (Limited exposure acceptable)

  • Basic understanding of Azure DevOps (ADO) pipelines (YAML).
  • Ability to read pipeline logs and debug build failures.
