## Description

We are looking for a hands-on Web Developer who can work effectively in ColdFusion today while helping us move toward an open source web stack over time.

This is not a role for someone who wants to stay in one narrow lane forever. It is a good fit for a developer who likes to explore, learn, build, and modernize. Our current environment includes ColdFusion, SQL Server, and a mix of supporting technologies, but the direction is toward open source tools, modern REST-backed applications, and static web assets.

We want someone who can be productive in the current environment without being frustrated by change, and who is energized by the chance to help shape what comes next.

What You'll Do

 * Maintain, troubleshoot, and improve existing ColdFusion applications
 * Build new functionality using a more modern approach, centered on REST APIs, static front-end assets, and open source technologies
 * Write and maintain SQL Server queries and application-side data logic as part of day-to-day development
 * Help modernize existing systems in practical, incremental ways
 * Participate in technical exploration, prototyping, and solution design
 * Work in a team with a wide variety of technical backgrounds, interests, and specialties
 * Help choose, test, and stand up the tools and environments needed to move development forward
