At Broadway Ventures, we transform challenges into opportunities with expert program management, cutting-edge technology, and innovative consulting solutions. As an 8(a), HUBZone, and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), we empower government and private sector clients by delivering tailored solutions that drive operational success, sustainability, and growth.

Position Summary
The Application Developer builds the Java services that ingest public health IT data, observe deployed FHIR endpoints, validate what they find, and assemble reproducible evidence cases for Project Argos. You write the deterministic validators that make pass/fail determinations, plus the retry, rate-limiting, and instrumentation logic that keeps monitoring safe and repeatable. Agentic components may summarize and draft, but they do not make final compliance calls, and your code enforces that boundary.
Type:
- The position is open to both W2 and 1099
- Part-time, variable hours, 10 - 29 hours a week
- 1 year contract
Pay:
- W2: pay rate of $55 - $60/hr
- 1099: $65 - $70/hr
Works with: Technical Lead, AI/Engineering Lead, Senior Systems Engineer, and Project Manager.
About Broadway Ventures and Project Argos
Broadway Ventures, LLC is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) and HUBZone federal contractor headquartered in Vicksburg, Mississippi, with operations in the Madison/Huntsville, Alabama area.
Project Argos is an agentic AI proof of concept for the Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT (ONC). Broadway is the prime contractor, with Audacious Inquiry as subcontractor. The pipeline pulls published API endpoint data for roughly 290 certified health IT products from the Certified Health IT Product List (CHPL), tests those endpoints on a repeatable schedule, and builds reproducible evidence cases for compliance gaps under 45 CFR Part 170. It runs in a contractor-hosted AWS GovCloud environment, and a qualified human reviews every finding before it becomes a confirmed issue.
Key Responsibilities
- Build ingestion connectors for CHPL, Service Base URL Lists, developer-published FHIR Bundles, Lantern, and other approved public sources. Preserve raw artifacts, timestamps, request metadata, response headers, and hashes.
- Normalize developer, product, version, criterion, CHPL ID, endpoint, organization, and validation records into the project's common data model in DynamoDB, with lineage and source-of-truth precedence rules.
- Implement publication checks that fetch endpoint lists and classify availability failures: URL not found, timeouts, obscuring redirects, malformed responses, and non-machine-readable content.
- Build safe, non-authenticated endpoint observation for metadata and CapabilityStatement retrieval, and detect drift as endpoints are added, removed, moved, or changed.
- Run FHIR R4 validation against Endpoint, Organization, and Bundle resources, preserving both raw and normalized results.
- Build the evidence case package with source metadata, request and response logs, validation outputs, severity, and rule traceability. Support deduplication, clustering, and export to Government-designated systems.
- Design scheduling, retry and backoff, rate limiting, error handling, and audit logging for pipeline and agentic components.
- Make test runs replayable so a reviewer can re-run a test for any evidence case.
- Write unit and integration tests, including stub and mock endpoints for failure scenarios. Participate in code review and keep technical documentation current.
- Keep the code from requesting, collecting, or storing patient data, PHI, credentials, or tokens unless the Government authorizes it in writing.
Required Qualifications
- 5+ years of Java (17+) development, including concurrency and networked services
- 3+ years of Spring Boot or an equivalent framework
- 2+ years of JavaScript/Node for tooling and front-end development
- 4+ years building REST APIs and working with JSON
- 3+ years of working knowledge of HTTP and TLS fundamentals
- 3+ years with the AWS SDK, DynamoDB data modeling, and S3
- 2+ years building and running containerized services
- 4+ years of automated testing (JUnit, integration tests)
- 3+ years of code review and technical documentation
- 1+ year building with LLM APIs or using AI coding assistants in development, including testing and validating AI-generated output
- Authorized to work in the United States
PreferredQualifications
- HAPI FHIR or other FHIR R4 validation experience (US Core, CapabilityStatements)
- HTTP client internals, including timing and connection instrumentation
- Scheduling, retry and backoff, and rate-limiting design
- Testcontainers or stub and mock services for failure testing
- SMART on FHIR, Inferno, or ONC certification testing
- Health IT or federal program experience

Tips for Your Remote Lead Java Developer Job Search
Apply early to remote roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists remote lead java developer openings from across the U.S. in one place, so you can find roles that match your stack and seniority level and apply directly without sorting through unfiltered national boards.
Show async leadership in your portfolio
Remote employers want proof you can lead without in-person presence. Document architecture decisions, pull request reviews, and async design discussions publicly on GitHub or a personal site so hiring teams can see how you operate at a distance.
Highlight distributed team experience upfront
Remote lead java developer roles prioritize candidates who have already coordinated across time zones. Call out any distributed or globally split team experience in your first resume summary line, and name the communication tools you used.
Prepare for remote system design interviews
Remote interviews for lead java developer roles lean heavily on live system design sessions over shared whiteboards like Miro or Excalidraw. Practice talking through distributed architecture decisions out loud while drawing, since remote panels judge clarity of explanation as much as technical depth.
Remote Lead Java Developer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote lead java developer job?
Remote lead java developer roles go to candidates who can demonstrate technical ownership and async collaboration without in-person oversight. Remote employers screen for strong written communication, experience leading distributed engineering teams, and proficiency with tools like Jira, Confluence, and GitHub. Candidates who show concrete examples of shipping production Java systems, mentoring other engineers, and driving architecture decisions async have the clearest edge.
Which companies hire remote lead java developers?
Employers currently hiring remote lead java developers include Conduent, BlackRock, and Dew Softech, per current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Remote-first fintechs, enterprise SaaS companies, and distributed healthcare technology firms make up the largest share of these openings.
Can you get a remote lead java developer job with no experience?
Yes, but remote lead roles are harder to land without prior experience because employers expect you to self-direct and unblock your team without daily supervision. Entry paths that work remotely include contributing to open-source Java projects, building a public portfolio of backend or microservices work, and taking on a lead role in contract or freelance projects you can reference by name and outcome.
Do you need a degree for remote lead java developer jobs?
Not always. Remote employers hiring lead java developers focus heavily on what you have shipped, what systems you have owned, and whether you can lead other engineers effectively in a distributed setting. A strong GitHub history, a record of architecting Java systems at scale, and demonstrable mentorship experience carry significant weight alongside or instead of a formal degree.
Which industries hire the most remote lead java developers?
Most remote lead java developer openings sit in Technology & Software and Healthcare & Medical Services, per current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These sectors rely on distributed engineering teams building high-throughput backend systems, which makes remote lead java developer roles a natural fit for their hiring models.
