Core Java Engineer III / Atlanta / Hybrid

An exciting contract-to-hire opportunity is now available for a Core Java Engineer III based in Atlanta, Georgia. This is a remote role with an occasional in office day. Join a global leader in data analytics and risk intelligence, supporting high-impact solutions that help businesses and governments tackle challenges such as fraud detection, identity verification, and financial crime. This is a full-time, long-term opportunity to work in a highly technical environment using Core Java, Big Data technologies (like Snowflake, Hadoop, and Kafka), and modern data engineering tools.

As part of a specialized engineering team focused on fraud-related data solutions, you’ll help design and implement systems that handle data across both cloud and on-prem environments. What sets this opportunity apart is the direct impact and technical ownership you'll have—this isn't a framework-heavy or UI-focused role. It’s a chance to work on the data layer of a platform used by financial institutions, government agencies, and enterprises worldwide. With an emphasis on efficiency, innovation, and scalability, you’ll get deep into the data, tackle real-world problems, and collaborate with a globally distributed team.
