For one of our clients in the pharma industry we’re looking for a freelance Java Spring Developer: Project description
The service is requested as part of the Platform/ product CoreAPI/PeP. The Platform, that holds services, generated from incoming use cases. These services then can be consumed by new incoming use cases (as of now mobile apps, websites) to avoid multiple implementations of the same functionality.
The goal of the project is to build a platform that provides services to be consumed by various use cases to reduce reimplementation of often used features. The future aspects are services could be consumed by any other product teams, as well as it can be provided in a kind of service community warehouse.
Background to the assignment
The working mode for the product development is the agile development methodology.
All services will be coordinated iteratively between the parties within the framework of sprint meetings and implemented independently by the contractor within the sprints following the sprint meetings. The Contractor will check before each sprint meeting, on the basis of its professional opinion/skills, which individual services it considers appropriate and feasible within the scope of its commissioning in the respective sprint.
A core aspect of this methodology is that all people who are involved in a product development endeavor are self-sufficient and do not follow any instructions. The steps and ways how overarching goals are achieved can be defined by the contractor independently and individually. Due to this special combination of know-how, the external Contractor will have an outstanding position compared to the internal project staff and will perform significantly different services than the internal staff.
