Java Developer (TIBCO)- Dallas at Photon

Job description

We are seeking a Senior Java Developer with a specialized background in TIBCO (BusinessWorks/MFT) to serve as the technical lynchpin for our platform modernization initiative. Unlike a standard development role, this position requires a "bilingual" engineer who can fluently read and interpret legacy TIBCO logic and rewrite it into a modern, decoupled Java-based architecture. Skill Set & Technical Requirements 1. TIBCO Ecosystem (Mandatory Expertise) • TIBCO BusinessWorks: Ability to deep-dive into existing BW projects, understand complex process starters, sub-processes, and activities. • TIBCO MFT: Understanding of Managed File Transfer configurations, platform servers, and internet servers to ensure secure data movement is replicated in the new system. • Migration Logic: Proven experience in extracting business logic from TIBCO "black boxes" and mapping them to Java-based services. 2. Java & Integration Backend • Core Java (19+): Expert-level Java skills with a focus on multithreading and high-performance I/O operations. • Spring Boot & Integration: Proficiency in Spring Boot and ideally Apache Camel or Spring Integration to rebuild the middleware layer. • Protocol Conversion: Experience handling the transition of TIBCO-native protocols (Rendezvous/EMS) to modern standards like Kafka, RabbitMQ, or REST. 3. Data & API Layer • XML/JSON Mastery: Deep knowledge of XSLT, XPath, and Schema validation—critical for translating TIBCO’s heavy XML-based processing into modern formats. • SQL/Persistence: Strong SQL skills for analyzing how TIBCO interacts with existing databases and ensuring data consistency during the move. Key Responsibilities • Reverse Engineering: Analyze "As-Is" TIBCO BW processes to document the underlying business rules and data transformations. • Platform Modernization: Design and develop the "To-Be" state using Java/Spring Boot, ensuring the new code is modular, well-documented, and free of proprietary locks. • Refactoring for Scale: Identify "tightly coupled" areas in the TIBCO environment and re-architect them into independent, scalable microservices. • SLA Maintenance: Execute rigorous performance testing to ensure the Java-based replacement matches the throughput and reliability of the legacy TIBCO MDD platform. Qualifications • Experience: 8+ years in Enterprise Integration, with at least 3 years of hands-on development in TIBCO environments. • Modernization Background: Previous experience in a "Legacy to Java" migration project is highly preferred. • Problem Solver: A self-starter who can navigate complex, undocumented legacy systems and propose modern architectural alternatives. Compensation, Benefits and Duration Minimum Compensation: USD 38,000 Maximum Compensation: USD 135,000 Compensation is based on actual experience and qualifications of the candidate. The above is a reasonable and a good faith estimate for the role. Medical, vision, and dental benefits, 401k retirement plan, variable pay/incentives, paid time off, and paid holidays are available for full time employees. This position is not available for independent contractors No applications will be considered if received more than 120 days after the date of this post Job Description Template
