Project Description

We’re looking for a Senior Java Engineer to support one of our clients on a short-term code audit (approx. 80h) project and then a longer-term monthly maintenance project that will start from around 20 hours each month, with potential to expand into a much larger product engagement.

The client operates a software platform that powers premium access and experiences for sports and entertainment fans. It currently supports event-day operations and communication for VIP clientele and is used in partnership with professional sports teams.

Technical Stack:

The platform is written in Java (backend) and React (frontend), deployed on Firebase and AWS. GitHub-based codebase.

What's needed to be done:

The client explores a larger opportunity with a white-labeled version of the platform for a new luxury membership model targeting high-net-worth individuals. That future product would need to support multiple branded instances, deeper integrations, and multi-tenant architecture—but to start, we’re focused on light maintenance and assessing the current state of the code for this current software platform.

Review the client's prepared information and access to their accounts, and create a proposal for a code audit that we can present to the client for approval, which would include approach, what the output would be provided back to the client, and prepare a high level estiamte to get approved for a code audit.
Then, once we confirm the approval of the hours for the code audit, they will conduct a code audit to evaluate architecture, maintainability, and potential for reuse in a future multitenant platform
Provide ongoing light-touch monthly support (bug fixes, minor enhancements, no 24/7 SLA)
Communicate directly with the client on our behalf (English fluency and professionalism required)
Work with light EST timezone overlap (client is based on the East Coast)
