Qualifications

• 5+ years of relevant software development experience, including 2+ years owning projects end to end: setting technical direction, refining requirements, and carrying features through launch into continuing maintenance and support.
• Able to mentor/train Software Dev I and Dev II employees.
• Strong hands-on experience across the stack: TypeScript and JavaScript with frameworks such as Vue and Nuxt, HTML and CSS screen layouts, server-side web services and APIs (including WCF), and MS SQL Server (T-SQL) and MySQL databases.
• Real-world coding experience delivering and maintaining production software, with the depth to work effectively without AI assistance.
• Proven experience directing AI development tools to build and ship complex projects, not just isolated snippets or boilerplate: breaking large problems into workable pieces, supplying the right context and specifications, and iterating toward a sound design.
• Ability to critically review and validate AI-generated code, recognizing when output is incorrect, insecure, or poorly structured, and knowing the underlying technology well enough to correct it.
• Solid experience with website security and security best practices.
• Ability to write flexible, reusable, and documented code.
• Strong analytical abilities.
• Strong customer service attitude.
• Proficiency with Git, including branching and pull request workflows, and the ability to troubleshoot and resolve repository problems such as merge conflicts, bad merges, and damaged history.
• Strong understanding of REST architecture, and experience contributing to application-level design decisions on real projects: data models, service boundaries, and integration points, with attention to performance and long‑term maintainability.
• Bonus: Experience with SCORM and developing learning platforms.
• Bonus: Experience with Azure (projects, web apps, blob storage, pipelines, releases, permissions).

Responsibilities

• Design and develop efficient software components for complex tasks without supervision.
• Take a high-level idea or business need, identify the underlying problem and the outcome actually wanted, and carry it through to a working, maintainable solution rather than building to the literal request.
• Steer technical direction on projects toward reusable, maintainable systems rather than one-off implementations.
• Assist in the design of application architecture, including structure, data models, and integration points, so features can be added without rework as the system grows.
• Own the integrity of code shipped on assigned projects, serving as the responsible point of contact if something breaks.
• Effectively manage development projects and report on progress.
• Effectively troubleshoot and diagnose complex software problems.
• Ensure website designs are compliant with the major browsers.
• Design intuitive and responsive web-based user interfaces.
• Anticipate, identify, and mitigate problem areas.
• Develop prototypes and proofs of concept for end users.
• Meet with users to define application requirements.
