Job Description:
Seeking a Senior Full Stack Java Developer with 10+ years of experience designing, building, and optimizing scalable solutions that power enterprise data governance and metadata management.
 
 This role combines hands-on full-stack application development with integration of Collibra APIs, workflows, and Edge Server-based ingestion pipelines.
 
 The ideal candidate will be adept at creating modern web interfaces, developing high-performance backend services, automating metadata and lineage processes, and ensuring secure, efficient data ingestion across diverse systems. Working in close collaboration with data governance, architecture, and engineering teams, this developer will play a critical role in advancing the data ecosystem through automation, innovation, and best-in-class engineering practices.
 
 YOUR FUTURE DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
Application Development & Integration
  • Design and develop end-to-end Java-based web applications.
  • Build RESTful APIs and microservices using Java (Spring Boot, Quarkus, or similar frameworks) to interact with Collibra APIs.
  • Develop user-friendly UI components in React, Angular, or Vue.js for data governance dashboards.
Collibra API, Edge Server & Workflow Automation

  • Develop ETL/ELT pipelines for metadata extraction, transformation, and loading (e.g., using Apache Kafka, Apache NiFi, or AWS Glue).
  • Implement event-driven data ingestion with message queues (RabbitMQ, Kafka) to process data efficiently.
Data Governance & Metadata Management
  • Work closely with Data Architects and Data Stewards to ensure proper metadata integration and governance automation.
  • Automate metadata ingestion and data lineage tracking using Edge Server and Collibra API.
  • Support data classification, tagging, and cataloging to enhance data discoverability.
Performance Optimization & Security
  • Optimize backend services for scalability, performance, and security.
  • Implement authentication and authorization mechanisms (OAuth, SAML, LDAP) for secure access.
  • Ensure compliance with data privacy regulations (e.g., GDPR, CCPA, FedRAMP) when handling data ingestion.
Collaboration & Agile Development
  • Work in Agile (Scrum/Kanban) teams with DevOps and CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, AWS CodePipeline).
  • Provide technical guidance on best practices for integrating the Edge Server with Collibra.
  • Collaborate with CDO, Data Governance, and Engineering teams to improve data quality, ingestion efficiency, and metadata management.
Automation & AI Integration
  • Leverage AI/ML capabilities within Collibra for data quality monitoring and anomaly detection.
  • Automate metadata ingestion, data lineage, and governance processes to improve efficiency.
QUALIFICATIONS
  • Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.

We are an equal opportunity employer and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability status, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.

You are being given the opportunity to provide the following information in order to help us comply with federal and state Equal Employment Opportunity/Affirmative Action record keeping, reporting, and other legal requirements.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
