API & Systems Integration: Implement robust RESTful APIs, secure event-driven integrations, and efficient data persistence layers.

Performance & Lifecycle Management: Support the modernization strategy by ensuring seamless interoperability between Legacy enterprise content storage and cutting-edge microservices.

Requirements

IBM ECM Specialist Stack (High Focus/Major Initial Project):

Hands-on development experience with IBM Content Navigator (ICN) configuration, custom plug-in architecture, and extension points.

Solid proficiency in JavaScript and the Dojo Toolkit (required for custom ICN desktop UI elements). In-depth understanding of the IBM Content Manager v8 (CM8) data model and native Java APIs (eg, DKDatastoreICM).

Comfort working alongside DBAs and System Administrators to deploy solutions on WebSphere Application Server (WAS).

Modern Backend & Microservices Stack:

Strong expertise in Java 21 and modern language features.

Deep proficiency across the Spring Ecosystem (Spring Boot 3.x, Spring Data, Spring Security). Proven experience building, deploying, and scaling containerized microservices (Docker, Kubernetes).

Experience deploying microservices into enterprise cloud environments or Red Hat OpenShift container platforms.

Experience architecting solutions that bridge Legacy enterprise repositories with decoupled, modern microservice layers. Strong debugging and reverse-engineering skills when working with complex enterprise APIs
