Consultant Java Back-end development

Toronto, Canada

Java Back-End Solution Development - Consultant As a Java Back-End Solution Development Consultant you will work with technical and non-technical stakeholders to design and implement the best possible solutions for our clients. The exact nature of the work will vary from project to project. Sometimes you will need to write code and lead a development team from within, and at other times you will need to provide an advisory role to various technical and non-technical resources, design a solution, and communicate that technical vision to a development team without taking on a hands-on role. You will enable modern application transformation while being surrounded by people who are passionate about building modern applications that demonstrate leading technologies. You will learn our client's business, organization, systems, challenges and goals, and utilize that knowledge on a team to deliver outstanding results.
