Job Seekers, Please send resumes to resumes@hireitpeople.com Under the Disability Case Processing System program, Lockheed Martin supports the full range of IT integration services supporting a multi-platform computing environment, including: information systems modernization initiatives, software engineering, project management, infrastructure services, data warehousing, database administration, research, planning, security, federal enterprise architecture initiatives, and all levels of Internet, Intranet and Web portal initiatives and migrating legacy architecture to web-based platforms. Lockheed Martin has an immediate need for a highly motivated Senior Java JEE Software Developer to identify and implement performance improvements during the iterative development of a complex multi-tier critical system. The candidate must be able to pass a Federal Suitability Check for a position of public trust. The candidate will be responsible for the performance analysis, tuning and refactoring of a SOA, JEE, Web based software system with a user base of 30,000 - 50,000 users.

Specifically the successful candidate will perform analysis and remediation of performance issues. Strong analytical skills and familiarity with profiling and analysis tools are required. Some specific examples of the kinds of tasks include:

·         Memory and JVM resource utilization analysis (using tools such as CA Introscope, IBM Profiler, sar, Jconsole, jmap, jhat, etc.)

·         Utilize performance test tools such as Apache JMeter wherever applicable

·         Test and tune connection pool and MQ configuration parameters

·         Test and tune jBPM, DROOLS, and Quartz product configuration

·         Assist with performance testing of individual infrastructure components (e.g. Thunderhead, Core Framework (WebSphere), MQ, databases (DB2 and Oracle), Ab Initio, MicroStrategy, etc.)

·         Suggest and perform Apache Web Server configuration changes/testing.

·         Review code and identify performance and quality issues.

·         Assist with improvement of general system performance, capacity, reliability and scalability.

·         Perform manual static and dynamic code analysis activities (using tools such as PMD, SonarQube, FindBugs, IBM Rational AppScan, etc.)

·         Perform user interface or frontend code analysis to identify and troubleshoot performance issues.

 In addition the position will involve interacting with the development team to lead re-factoring efforts to improve system performance. Areas of concerns include user-perceived response time, network performance, and database performance. Strong experience with web service performance evaluation and knowledge of relevant toolset is strongly desired. In addition to strong senior-level Java EE development skills, knowledge of web service testing, especially performance testing is sought.
