Join the Keyhole Software Team
Location: Lenexa, KS (Hybrid: On-site M/W/F; Remote T/Th)

About the Role
Keyhole Software is seeking a Java/Spring Developer with hands-on database migration experience to join our consulting team. This role is focused on migrating enterprise applications from Oracle to PostgreSQL while maintaining and enhancing existing Java/Spring services.
This is a mid-level contributor position—we’re looking for someone who can check the technical boxes and deliver consistently, not someone seeking to lead teams. You’ll work within a collaborative environment made up of both Keyhole consultants and client employees, delivering reliable, maintainable code and database solutions in support of a long-term project.
Your Responsibilities
- Contribute to the migration of enterprise applications from Oracle to PostgreSQL, ensuring data integrity, performance, and security.
- Refactor and maintain back-end services using Java and the Spring ecosystem (Spring Boot, Spring Data, Spring Security, etc.).
- Write and optimize SQL, stored procedures, and scripts to support data migration and application logic.
- Collaborate with client and consulting team members to identify migration challenges, troubleshoot issues, and validate solutions.
- Support integration testing, regression testing, and production cutovers.
- Document technical changes, database schemas, and system processes for future maintainability.
Technical Requirements
Education: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or related field preferred; equivalent experience considered.
Experience: Minimum of 5 years of professional software development experience, with a strong focus on Java and database-driven applications.
Core Skills
- Java (8+) and Spring Boot (Spring Data, Spring Security, Spring REST).
- Database migration experience: Oracle to PostgreSQL (DDL/DML migration, stored procedure/function rewrites, schema design, performance tuning).
- Strong SQL development and optimization skills in both Oracle and PostgreSQL.
- Familiarity with Liquibase or Flyway for schema versioning and migration scripts.
- Experience with RESTful APIs, microservices, and integration patterns.
- Source control (Git), Agile/Scrum collaboration, and CI/CD pipelines.
Nice to Have
- Experience with tools for Oracle-to-Postgres migration (e.g., AWS Schema Conversion Tool, ora2pg).
- Familiarity with cloud deployments (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
- Exposure to containerization (Docker, Kubernetes).
Other Qualifications
- Ability to contribute independently within a hybrid consulting/client team structure.
- Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and follow-through on deliverables.
- Comfortable working in a hybrid schedule (Lenexa, KS on-site M/W/F).
