This is a chance to use Java EE 8+, work with REST APIs, and work on data transformation, creating a new solution for a national audience. It's a chance to start from scratch and create an integrated solution that enables data transformation and communication between three products - for now, with more in the future.

Our team is relentlessly focused on putting out the best, highest quality solutions they can. We give them the freedom, tools, and guidance they need to be creative and make it happen.
