Full-Stack Developer | Contingent | Washington, DC

Description

The Full-Stack Developer will serve as a cross-functional application developer and technical support resource across the NIMS/CMIS environment. This position is designed for a versatile developer who can work across application code, databases, APIs, cloud environments, testing, deployment, troubleshooting, and production support.

The developer will work closely with the Senior ColdFusion/AWS Developer and Senior Oracle/SQL/Data Integration Developer, providing both development capacity and technical redundancy. The position will assist with application enhancements, defect resolution, SQL/database development, system integrations, testing, deployments, documentation, helpdesk escalation, and future NISC V development.

This position is particularly important to the team's continuity model: the developer will gain working knowledge across multiple NIMS/CMIS technical domains so that the team maintains secondary coverage for critical application and database functions.

• Develop, test, troubleshoot, and maintain enterprise web applications.
• Support ColdFusion application development and maintenance.
• Develop and troubleshoot SQL queries and database-driven functionality.
• Support Oracle database and data-integration activities.

• Assist with user-acceptance testing and defect resolution.
• Support source control, builds, deployments, releases, and CI/CD activities.
• Support DevSecOps and vulnerability-remediation activities.
• Provide Tier 1/Tier 2 technical support and resolve escalated helpdesk issues.
• Support user account and application-access issues.
• Assist with financial-data validation and troubleshooting.
• Develop technical documentation, operating procedures, test documentation, and knowledge articles.
• Participate in code reviews and peer testing.
• Cross-train on both application and database functions to provide backup coverage.
• Participate in Transition-In knowledge transfer and operational-readiness activities.
• Support future NISC V design, development, testing, integration, and deployment activities.

The FAA specifically requires first- and second-level helpdesk support covering user activation/deactivation, production issues and financial-data validation, in addition to application O&M responsibilities.
