Senior Developer

Role Description

DecisionPoint seeks a Senior Developer (Survivor Portal) to lead software development for the Defense Casualty Information Processing System (DCIPS) Survivor Web Portal, a secure and isolated platform supporting survivors and families of fallen service members. The portal enables account creation, consent management, e-signature, event participation, and resource access while integrating seamlessly with the DCIPS Future ecosystem. The Senior Developer will design, build, and sustain scalable, accessible, and compliant web applications across AWS GovCloud IL2–IL5 environments, ensuring data integrity, user privacy, and system resilience throughout Agile release cycles. This position is fully remote.

Duties & Responsibilities

• Lead the full-stack development of the Survivor Portal, implementing modular, reusable code for portal features including account creation, consent forms, and e-signature workflows.
• Develop secure, responsive front-end interfaces using modern frameworks (React, Angular, or Vue) that adhere to Section 508 accessibility and UX standards.
• Integrate RESTful APIs and manage secure, limited data exchanges between the Survivor Portal and DCIPS Future while ensuring isolation and compliance with DoD cybersecurity mandates.
• Implement authentication and role-based access control (e.g., SAML, OAuth 2.0) to support secure survivor access and identity management.
• Build and maintain serverless and microservices-based back-end components in AWS GovCloud using technologies such as Lambda, ECS, and RDS.
• Support DevSecOps automation, integrating CI/CD pipelines, containerization (Docker/Kubernetes), and automated testing frameworks.
• Ensure portal compliance with RMF, DISA STIG, and Zero Trust security requirements.
• Develop APIs supporting event calendars, survey integration, and resource recommendations per TOR feature requirements.
• Conduct code reviews, optimize system performance, and troubleshoot integration or data validation issues.
• Participate in Agile ceremonies—stand-ups, retrospectives, and sprint planning—to ensure iterative delivery aligned with stakeholder expectations.
• Collaborate closely with UX/UI designers, data engineers, and DevOps personnel to deliver a high-quality, user-centric platform.
• Contribute to system documentation, configuration management, and release notes for version control and sustainment.

• Experience: Minimum 7 years of experience in enterprise web application or portal development.
• Proven success developing secure, integrated systems in AWS GovCloud or equivalent IL-classified environments.
• Experience building case management or user access portals supporting high-security data environments.
• OutSystems experience is strongly preferred.
• Technical Knowledge: Expertise in Java, C#, or Python and modern web frameworks (React, Angular, or Vue).
• Proficiency with RESTful API design, JSON, and data exchange standards.
• Experience with containerization, orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes), and CI/CD pipelines (GitLab CI, Jenkins).
• Understanding of AWS services (Lambda, RDS, S3, CloudWatch, IAM) and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform or CloudFormation).
• Familiarity with DoD cybersecurity controls, DISA STIG compliance, and RMF processes.
• Experience integrating third-party services (e.g., DocuSign, survey tools, or analytics).
• Certifications (Preferred): AWS Certified Developer – Associate or Solutions Architect, CompTIA Security+ CE (DoD 8570 baseline), Certified Scrum Developer (CSD) or equivalent Agile certification.

Skills

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills in secure, cloud-based environments.
• Excellent collaboration and communication abilities across development, cybersecurity, and design teams.
• Detail-oriented approach to code quality, documentation, and testing.
• Ability to adapt quickly to changing technical and mission requirements.
