Integration Developer/Admin (Senior Application Development Analyst)

Overview

The Information Technology office is accepting applications for a Senior Application Development Analyst to join the Data Systems/Data Integration Operations unit.

The Senior Application Development Analyst (SADA) supports the Judicial Council’s statewide Data Integration Program by designing, developing, administering, and maintaining mission-critical integration platforms, including ESB-based services, API-driven workflows, and data pipelines. This role is responsible for enabling secure, reliable, and high-quality data exchanges between courts, justice partners, and external state agencies, including the Department of Justice.

The SADA works under general direction and collaborates closely with IS leadership, technical teams, and project stakeholders to support both real-time (API/ESB) and batch (ETL) integration patterns. The position includes responsibility for Talend platforms (ETL/ESB), runtime environments, remote engines, and cloud-based services in Azure, as well as integration components developed using Java and scripting technologies.

This role exists to sustain and modernize enterprise integration systems, provide expert-level troubleshooting across application and platform layers, and ensure compliance with security and data standards. The SADA also supports legacy system integration and modernization initiatives, contributing to the transition toward scalable, cloud-aligned architectures. The position plays a critical role in maintaining high availability, operational stability, and performance of statewide integration workloads.

The Judicial Council
The Judicial Council of California is the policy setting body for the state court system and has constitutionally conferred statewide rule-making authority. This authority includes developing, advocating for, and allocating the judicial branch budget. A majority of Council members are California state justices and judges; however, the Council also includes lawyers, legislators, and court administrators.

By enhancing its role as a leadership, knowledge, and service resource for the judicial branch, the Judicial Council’s staff organization seeks to continue to evolve as one of California’s most dynamic public service entities, focused on improving access to justice for all Californians by innovating and responding to the changing needs of the courts and the public. As a government body charged with improving the statewide administration of justice, the Judicial Council has multiple offices with diverse responsibilities relating to court policy and operations. As employees of the council, every member of staff should view and approach their work as one Judicial Council with a public service mission that is greater than the sum of its parts.

The Judicial Council strives for work life balance and includes substantial vacation and holiday time. In addition, we offer an excellent benefits package including pension, medical, dental, and vision coverage, flexible spending, up to $130 per month reimbursement for qualifying commuting costs, student loan forgiveness as part of Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF), and retirement savings plans. In San Francisco, the office is only a 7-minute walk from the downtown Civic Center BART station. In Sacramento, the office is located minutes from downtown, just north of Discovery Park.

The Judicial Council offers hybrid work arrangements for many positions. The successful candidate will be expected to work in person at the Judicial Council’s San Francisco or Sacramento office at least two days per week, based on their office leader’s direction, and reside in the areas surrounding these locations. To be eligible for Judicial Council employment and participation in the Judicial Council’s Hybrid Work Program, a prospective or current employee’s primary residence/remote work location must be in the State of California and within a 150-mile driving radius of their assigned reporting location.
