We are seeking a Software Developer to support the DEA in developing and modernizing Web-based applications, including online customer-service capabilities that enable agency components to deliver their services online. The program is actively modernizing its web platform, migrating away from its legacy ColdFusion application toward modern web technologies.

After an initial 30-day onboarding period onsite, this role transitions to a hybrid schedule (4 days onsite, 1 day remote).

• Understand client requirements and how they translate in application features
• Collaborate with a team of IT professionals to set specifications for new applications
• Design creative prototypes according to specifications
• Write high quality source code to program complete applications within deadlines
• Perform unit and integration testing before launch
• Conduct functional and non-functional testing
• Troubleshoot and debug applications
• Evaluate existing applications to reprogram, update and add new features.
• Assist in the monitoring and diagnosis of performance problems, including working with the MS Access database and Microsoft SQL Server

Qualifications

• Up to 5 years of experience in web application development and maintenance. Recent graduates (within five years of completing a degree) and transitioning or former military members are encouraged to apply, as the program places a premium on current, modern development training.

• Knowledge of one or more of the following is desirable: SQL Server, MS Access, and other relational database systems (e.g., Oracle, Sybase). Exposure to legacy technologies such as Active Server Pages (ASP) and Visual Basic is helpful given the platform's ongoing modernization.

• Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to manage multiple tasks and priorities
• Strong written and verbal communication skills

Desired:

• Familiarity with ColdFusion is a plus but not required. The program currently maintains a ColdFusion application that is being modernized, and the senior development team will provide on-the-job mentorship in ColdFusion as needed.
• Former or transitioning military service
• Bachelor's degree in Information Technology or a related field
• Experience working in a Federal IT environment
• Scripting or automation experience (e.g., PowerShell)
