Our client seeks a Senior Java Engineer to join the AVAD team supporting a high-priority platform initiative. The environment consists of mature Java systems. You will understand the existing platform, support and enhance current services, and develop new services and features with a focus on future reuse and modernization. The team also drives personalization efforts, and experience in this area would be helpful though not required. This is a fully remote, six-month contract with strong extension potential. Pacific Time overlap is preferred. Hands-on agentic development is a hard requirement.

We can facilitate w2 and corp-to-corp consultants. For our w2 consultants, we offer a great benefits package that includes Medical, Dental, and Vision benefits, 401k with company matching, and life insurance.
