Positions Available: 2

Location: Remote (occasional on-site meetings required; no travel reimbursement provided)

Rate: Dependent on experience

Experience Level: 5-7 years (Computer Science/MIS degree with 3-5 years' experience also considered, or equivalent combination)

About the Role

We're sourcing two Application Developers on behalf of a client undertaking a multi-year modernization initiative to retire legacy technology and transition to a unified, cloud-native environment. The organization serves a large membership base (200,000+ individuals) across hundreds of partner institutions, making this one of the largest technology modernization efforts of its kind in the state.

The initiative centers on building a modern, Azure-hosted administration system that integrates with existing member- and employer-facing portals. The technology stack includes Angular, REST APIs, Azure SQL Managed Instances, Azure Function Apps, Power BI, and a document management/process automation platform (currently in evaluation).

Current program state:

• Legacy systems have completed migration from on-premises hosting to Azure (as of May 2024)
• The member-facing portal was modernized in July 2025
• IT resources are supporting legacy systems while simultaneously building the modernized replacement
• A project charter and SDLC are established and in active practice
• The environment and foundation for modern applications is nearing completion

Program goals: full retirement of legacy platforms, reduced manual work and errors, faster turnaround times, improved document workflows, stronger security posture, greater system resilience, and lower long-term maintenance costs.

What You'll Do

• Perform all aspects of application development, including coding, unit testing, documentation, code reviews, and submitting pull requests for client staff to review
• Develop, enhance, and maintain application components that meet functional and technical requirements
• Develop APIs, system interfaces, and automation workflows
• Develop clear, actionable user stories and help maintain a prioritized backlog
• Translate technical specifications into maintainable, production-ready software
• Collaborate closely with technical staff, business analysts, testers, and project managers
• Manage multiple development tasks and meet established timelines
• Communicate complex technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences

What We're Looking For

Required Technical Skills

• C# .NET
• Web API
• Angular 16+
• SQL
• Azure DevOps
• Git

Additional Knowledge & Experience

• Modern application development frameworks, programming languages, and secure coding practices
• Software development lifecycle (SDLC) methodologies, including Agile
• Business process analysis, functional design principles, documentation standards, user story development, and acceptance criteria definition
• Familiarity with legacy system architecture, dependencies, technologies, and integration points
• Ability to deliver high-quality work with minimal defects

Additional Notes

• This is a government contract role; travel expenses are not reimbursed per state purchasing regulations
• Candidates should be comfortable with a hybrid cadence including required in-person meetings as needed
