• Build the foundation for all development (e.g., set-up development and testing environments, configure testing software, etc.)
• Establish testing policies and software and lead system integration and testing

Required skills:

Requirements:
• 5+ years web development experience, coding in Java, preferably with knowledge of Apache Wicket, Guice, Maven, Spring JDBC templates, and Jetty servlet container
