About the role

We are seeking a skilled Java Developer to join our team in migrating our Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) software from a server-based environment to a cloud-based platform. The ideal candidate will have experience in cloud migration, server-based application development, and a strong understanding of PACS systems. This role involves working closely with cross-functional teams to ensure a smooth and efficient migration process, while maintaining the highest standards of data security and system performance.

Responsibilities

• Evaluate the existing server based PACS software to determine cloud migration requirements.
• Collaborate with stakeholders to define migration goals, timelines, and resource requirements.
• Design a scalable, secure, and resilient cloud architecture for the PACS software.
• Ensure the architecture supports high availability, disaster recovery, and performance requirements.
• Refactor and optimize Java code to ensure compatibility and performance in a cloud environment.
• Implement changes to make the application cloud-native or cloud-ready.
• Develop APIs for integrating PACS software with cloud services and third-party applications.
• Ensure seamless data flow and interoperability between the PACS system and cloud platforms.
• Perform data migration tasks, ensuring data integrity, security, and minimal downtime.
• Utilize migration tools and automation scripts to facilitate the migration process.
• Implement and manage cloud services such as storage, databases, compute resources, and networking specific to PACS requirements.
• Utilize cloud provider services (e.g., AWS, Azure, Google Cloud) to support PACS functionalities.
• Ensure the migrated PACS software complies with healthcare data security standards (e.g., HIPAA).
• Implement best practices for cloud security, including encryption, access control, and continuous monitoring.
• Monitor the performance of the PACS software in the cloud environment and address any issues.
• Optimize cloud resource utilization to ensure cost-efficiency and performance.
• Document migration plans, processes, and new cloud architectures.
• Provide regular updates and reports on migration progress and system performance.
• Work closely with DevOps, QA, and other teams to ensure successful migration and deployment.
• Provide support and troubleshooting for the PACS software post-migration.
• Stay updated with the latest cloud technologies, healthcare IT standards, and best practices.
• Continuously improve migration strategies and processes based on feedback and lessons learned.
• Train and mentor junior developers and team members on cloud technologies and PACS software migration practices.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in computer science, Information Technology, or a related field.
• Proven experience as a Java Developer, with a focus on server-based applications and cloud migration.
• Strong understanding of PACS software and healthcare IT standards.
• Proficiency in cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud.
