This individual will work with technical stakeholders to evaluate existing application server environments, develop migration strategies, execute application server and runtime migrations, and support testing and post-migration validation across multiple applications. The ideal candidate has demonstrated experience successfully migrating Java EE/Jakarta EE applications from Oracle WebLogic to a non-Oracle application server, combining hands-on use of automated migration/assessment tooling with the ability to manually remediate application code and configuration that tooling cannot fully automate.\n\nDuties/Responsibilities\nAssess Oracle WebLogic-hosted applications to identify migration requirements, level of effort, risks, and dependencies.\nDevelop and execute migration approach for moving Java applications from Oracle WebLogic to approved non-Oracle platforms such as Red Hat JBoss EAP, Apache Tomcat, or other approved Java runtimes.\nUse migration assessment tools such as Red Hat Migration Toolkit for Applications (MTA/Konveyor) or comparable tools to identify incompatible APIs, proprietary dependencies, configuration changes, and required application remediation.\nEvaluate target application server capabilities against each application's technical requirements (e.g., full Java EE container services available in JBoss EAP versus the lighter, servlet-only profile of Apache Tomcat) and recommend or execute application refactoring needed to close any gaps.\nExecute application server migration activities, including deployment descriptor conversion, configuration remediation, and cutover support.\nMigrate application runtime dependencies from Oracle JDK to an approved OpenJDK distribution.\nIdentify, remediate, and remove legacy Oracle-specific application dependencies where present (e.g., Oracle Reports), in coordination with business stakeholders.\nRebuild and validate build and deployment pipelines (e.g., Maven, Gradle, or Ant; EAR/WAR packaging) for the target application server, adapting to each application's existing toolchain.\nCollaborate with database migration teams to coordinate JDBC connectivity changes and application-side SQL/script remediation tied to backend database migrations (e.g., Oracle-to-PostgreSQL).\nConfigure and validate DEV/TEST/PROD environments for the new application server and runtime stack.\nSupport functional, integration, regression, and performance testing to validate application behavior post-migration.\nDocument migration procedures, configuration changes, and operational runbooks.\nParticipate in technical discussions with customer and project stakeholders regarding migration approach and risk.\nTroubleshoot and resolve application server, runtime, and integration issues throughout the migration lifecycle.\nRequired Skills/Abilities\nStrong experience with Oracle WebLogic Application Server administration and/or development.\nDemonstrated hands-on experience executing the migration of at least one enterprise Java application from Oracle WebLogic to a non-Oracle application server or runtime, such as Red Hat JBoss EAP, Apache Tomcat, or a comparable platform.\nHands-on experience with an automated migration/assessment tool for WebLogic application migrations, such as Red Hat's Migration Toolkit for Applications (MTA, formerly JBoss Windup / Konveyor) — which supports assessment across multiple target platforms including JBoss EAP and Apache Tomcat — or a comparable rule-based migration analysis tool, since fully manual line-by-line remediation is not the preferred approach.\nExperience refactoring or re-architecting applications that rely on full Java EE container services (e.g., EJB, JMS, container-managed transactions) when the migration target is a servlet-only container such as Apache Tomcat, rather than a full Java EE application server.\nExperience migrating Java applications from Oracle JDK to an approved OpenJDK distribution.\nStrong Java development experience, including common build tools (e.g., Maven, Gradle, or Ant), EAR/WAR packaging, and enterprise application module structures (e.g., EJB, servlets/JSP, web services) as encountered across different applications.\nExperience with application server configuration, deployment, and environment management across DEV/TEST/PROD.\nAbility to quickly assess and adapt to varying application architectures and toolchains across a portfolio of applications, rather than a single fixed technology stack.\nExperience identifying and remediating legacy or deprecated application components where present (e.g., Oracle Reports, outdated third-party libraries).\nAbility to analyze complex enterprise Java applications and develop migration recommendations and roadmaps.\nExperience troubleshooting application server, runtime, and integration issues.\nStrong written and verbal communication skills.\nAbility to work independently and collaboratively within cross-functional teams, including coordination with database migration engineers.\nNice to Have Skills\nExperience with Konveyor/MTA rulesets specific to WebLogic-to-JBoss EAP or WebLogic-to-Tomcat migrations.\nExperience with Apache TomEE or similar Java EE-on-Tomcat extensions, for cases where a Tomcat target still requires partial Java EE feature support.\nExperience with Jakarta EE namespace migration tooling (e.g., Eclipse Transformer) for javax-to-jakarta package migrations on newer JBoss EAP or Tomcat 10+ targets.\nExperience coordinating application-side remediation in parallel with backend database migrations (Oracle-to-PostgreSQL or similar).\nExperience with legacy reporting tool decommissioning (e.g., Oracle Reports, Crystal Reports).\nFamiliarity with DevOps, CI/CD, and Infrastructure as Code practices for Java application deployment.\nCloud migration and modernization experience (AWS preferred).\nApplication modernization experience beyond dependency removal (e.g., containerization, microservices decomposition).\nExperience supporting federal, public sector, or highly regulated environments.\nPrevious experience serving as a technical lead or migration architect.\nEducation and Experience\nBachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, or related field (or equivalent combination of education and experience).\nMinimum of 5+ years of relevant Java/application server experience (9+ years of relevant experience without a Bachelor's degree).\nDemonstrated experience supporting at least one Oracle WebLogic-to-non-Oracle application server migration project (e.g., JBoss EAP, Tomcat, or similar).\nExperience working in enterprise-scale IT environments preferred.\nTravel Requirement\n\nMinimal travel anticipated.\n\nClearance Requirement\nPublic Trust\nU.S. Citizenship required\n\nSalary Range:\n\nThe salary range for this position represents Dynamo's good-faith estimate of the compensation expected to be offered at the time of posting.
