Application Developer

The Application Developer designs, develops, tests, implements, and supports cloud-based and web-based applications for internal and external clients in a primarily Microsoft environment.

* Develop and maintain solutions using Microsoft .NET, C#, SQL Server, React, TypeScript, REST APIs, Azure services, and other approved technologies.
* Test solutions for functionality, performance, security, reliability, and alignment with acceptance criteria; identify and correct defects.
* Optimize existing code, support application modernization, and develop maintainable enhancements using established design patterns.
* Create and maintain unit, integration, API, and browser-based automated tests appropriate to assigned work.
* Participate in requirements discussions, sprint ceremonies, design reviews, pull-request reviews, and production-support activities.
* Maintain technical documentation, work items, source-control practices, and application CI/CD pipelines.
* Manage bug reports and user issues through the organization's approved ticketing and work-management systems.
* Communicate progress, risks, dependencies, assumptions, and blockers to team members and business partners.
* Provide practical support and technical guidance to less-experienced developers as knowledge and experience allow.
AI-Enabled Development Expectations
* Use approved AI tools for code explanation, code completion, refactoring suggestions, test generation, troubleshooting, documentation, and analysis.
* Provide sufficient business and technical context to AI tools without exposing information outside approved systems or data boundaries.
* Evaluate AI-generated code, tests, requirements, and documentation against source requirements, coding standards, security expectations, and expected application behavior.
* Break AI-assisted work into small, understandable, reviewable, and testable increments.
* Document material AI-assisted changes when required by team standards and seek guidance when output, risk, or ownership is unclear.
* Treat AI output as a recommendation, not as inherently correct or production-ready.

* Strong analytical, written communication, collaboration, documentation, and problem-solving skills.

* Experience with React, TypeScript, ASP.NET Web API, Microsoft SQL Server, Azure services, CI/CD, and browser-based automated testing such as Playwright.
* Experience supporting healthcare, insurance, cost-containment, billing, X12.837, or other regulated business applications.
* Experience working in an agile software-development environment.
Core Competencies
* Learning agility and commitment to continuous technical development.
* Sound judgment, attention to detail, and consistent follow-through.

* Makes implementation-level decisions and recommends design improvements within assigned applications.
* Escalates architectural, security, compliance, data-handling, and cross-system concerns.
