The New York City Department of Correction (DOC) is an integral part of the City's evolving criminal justice system, participating in reform initiatives and strategies aimed to move the City towards a smaller jail system without compromising public safety. The DOC is responsible for maintaining a safe and secure environment for our employees, visitors, volunteers and people in our custody.

• Proficiency in Java and Spring Boot for building and maintaining backend services and enterprise applications.
• Experience developing cross-platform mobile applications with React Native, including the bare workflow where native modules and platform APIs are required.
• Experience with native iOS development (Swift/Objective-C, Xcode) and native Android development (Kotlin/Java, Android Studio), including platform-specific UI, lifecycle management, and background execution.
• Ability to implement responsive, accessible mobile UIs that perform reliably on managed enterprise devices under intermittent or no network connectivity.
• Familiarity with offline-first data flows, including local persistence with SQLite, sync/outbox queues, conflict resolution, and encryption at rest.
