Senior Software Engineer(Forward Deployed)

Role Summary – Forward Deployed Senior Software Engineer

Experience: 8+ years

Primary Focus: Java Backend / Migration Tooling / Automation

Domain: Enterprise SaaS / Workflow Automation

This is a hands-on Senior Software Engineering role focused on building migration tooling and automation frameworks that help enterprise customers migrate from legacy schedulers and automation platforms to RunMyJobs (RMJ) .

Core Technical Requirements

Must Have:

• Java 11/17+
• Backend development
• REST APIs / API development
• Migration tooling / automation
• AI-driven automation use cases
• XML & JSON
• Jackson, Lombok
• PostgreSQL / MySQL
• Shell scripting
• Gradle
• Docker
• JUnit, AssertJ, Mockito
• Strong debugging and troubleshooting
• CI/CD exposure

Strongly Preferred

• Enterprise system/scheduler migration experience
• Workload scheduling / automation platforms
• ERP environments
• SAP ABAP / HANA
• Jenkins / GitHub Actions / GitLab CI
• Customer-facing / Forward Deployed Engineering experience

Ideal Candidate Profile

Look for an 8+ year Java backend engineer who has built APIs, automation frameworks, and developer tooling , rather than a conventional application developer.

The strongest profiles will combine:

Java + Backend/API + Automation + Migration + AI + Databases + Docker + Testing

with experience working directly with enterprise customers, Professional Services, Solution/Migration Architects, or implementation teams .

Key Screening Priority

I would rank the requirements this way:

• Java 11/17+ – Mandatory

• Backend/API development – Mandatory

• Automation tooling/framework development – Mandatory

• AI-driven automation – Mandatory

• XML/JSON + Jackson/Lombok – Mandatory

• SQL + PostgreSQL/MySQL – Mandatory

• Docker + scripting – Mandatory

• JUnit/Mockito/AssertJ – Mandatory

• Enterprise migration experience – Strong advantage

• Scheduler/ERP/SAP experience – Good to have

• Customer-facing/Forward Deployed experience – Good to have

Important: Don't restrict sourcing only to candidates with RunMyJobs or scheduler migration experience. That is preferred, not mandatory. A strong Java backend/platform engineer with automation and migration tooling experience can be a good fit.
