Software Development Manager; focus Java Microservices

Thanks for stopping by to take a look at the Software Development Manager focused on Java Modernization and Application Transformation role I posted here on LinkedIN, I appreciate it. The reason I titled this role (in the post) 'focused on Java Microservices' is because that is where that 'modernization & transformation)' will be focused on.

If you are familiar with my job descriptions, you already probably know what I am going to say. If you are new to my job descriptions, welcome. Allow me to introduce myself a bit. My name is Tom Welke. I am Partner & Vp here at RSM Solutions, Inc. I have been recruiting technical talent for almost 25 years and been in the tech sector since the 1990s.

So...what does that mean? Well, it means I don't use Ai to write job descriptions or screen resumes. I write these JD's myself...no Ai, no bots...no 'reformatting with Ai'....just a real live human. I realized a while back that looking for work is about as fun as getting your teeth pulled. So, I try to make things clearer (as opposed to a zillion bullet points that basically say nothing), and even a little comical.

So...buckle up...I hope you enjoy the ride.

First, a few ground rules (these may sound familiar to those who have read my JD's before, but I wanted to make sure I shared this):

• This role is being done in a hybrid manner in Camden, New Jersey. I am only considering candidates that are within driving distance to Camden for this one. You will be onsite 2-3 days and we all know how rough traffic around Philadelphia and Western Jersey can be.
• The client for this role cannot provide immigration sponsorship now or in the future. As a result, I’m only able to work with candidates who have permanent authorization to work in the U.S. and will never require sponsorship (typically U.S. citizens or Green Card holders). I cannot work with candidates that would require employer sponsorship at any point to continue working in the U.S., including under H1, F1, EAD, STEM, OPT, or other time-limited work authorizations.
• I am not working with external vendors or 3rd parties on this role.

As with just about every role I work on, social fit is going to be pretty important. As we all know, 'fit' is incredibly important...for the client as well as you, the candidate. So, here are things that create a good fit for this role:

• I know the hiring manager for this role quite well...we have worked together in the past as well. He isn't a micro manager. This leads to something, however, it means he hires people who don't need to be micromanaged.
• This is not a highly dramatic company...we aren't dealing with brain surgery. So, yes, they are serious about their work...but not to the point of making a mountain out of every mole hill.

Here is more info on the role:

In this role, you will be managing two teams of 3-6 developers each, so a team of 6-12 (a mix of contractors and permanent team members) focused on modernizing these guys legacy Java code base. This code base helps to manage the firms warehouses (it is their WMS). This legacy Java code is built in Java 17, Spring 5, Hibernate, deployed within Oracle Cloud (OCI) but effectively running on a “VM” using an Oracle database.

The team is migrating this legacy code base to Java Microservices. In this “modernization journey,” from the monolith-to-microservices initiative, One part of the code base is in production, two more slated before the end of the year. The individual chosen for this role will have quite a bit of influence over the overall architecture.

As you look across the first 30, 60 and 90 days of this role, here is where the hiring manager would like you to be:

30 Days into the role:
Drive toward an understanding of the WMS product itself, understand “key elements” of…
