RQ11573 Specialized IT Consultant Senior

Scope

• The project will deliver a secure user-friendly notification platform that provides real-time updates and clear instructions related to court appearances. The solution will ensure that accused individuals receive accurate timely and actionable information to reduce no-shows and improve adherence to court requirements.
  
• The Notify App project aims to improve and streamline communication for accused individuals within the judicial process specifically targeting the first court appearance stage. This initiative addresses two critical issues:
  
• Missed court appearances due to lack of timely notifications.
  
• Insufficient understanding of court protocols leading to procedural delays and non-compliance.
  

Assignment Deliverables

• Detailed design and specification documents for RESTful APIs including endpoints request/response models authentication and error handling.
  
• Clean scalable and secure REST APIs built using Java and Spring Boot adhering to best practices and company standards.
  
• Modular and decoupled microservices designed and deployed independently with clear inter-service communication protocols.
  
• Using APIs to develop application based on the business requirement to transform and route data.
  
• Comprehensive test coverage using tools like JUnit Mockito or Test Containers to ensure code reliability and prevent regressions.
  
• Efficient relational database schemas designed and implemented to support API data storage and retrieval.
  
• Profiled and optimized APIs for response time memory usage and throughput ensuring high performance under load.
  
• Secure API calls with proper authentication (e.g. OAuth2 JWT) authorization input validation and protection against common vulnerabilities (OWASP).
  
• Dockerized applications with configuration files docker-compose scripts and Kubernetes manifests (if applicable) for smooth deployment.
  
• Integrated monitoring (e.g. Prometheus Grafana) and logging (e.g. ELK stack Logstash or Splunk) for operational visibility.
  
• Produce clear documentation for developed systems such as design deployment instructions and operational guides.
  
• Regular code reviews feedback sessions and mentorship to junior developers ensuring code quality and knowledge sharing.
  
• Weekly or sprint-based status updates on development progress blockers and delivered functionalities.
  
• Timely resolution of production issues regression fixes and performance improvements based on user feedback and testing.
  
• Available for any on-call on weekend for production issues.
