Senior Software Developer

Provide master level design and development expertise to the creation and maintenance of software products including training/learning platforms, applications, web pages, client portals, databases, reports and queries, and other products as requested. Takes ownership of assigned projects end to end: refining requests into well-defined problems, setting technical direction toward reusable and maintainable systems, and standing behind the integrity of what ships. Interfaces with clients, customers, and internal users to gather requirements, troubleshoot issues, and deploy solutions. Trains other team members, provides technical leadership, and acts as a final reviewer on code changes. Creates reusable tools and processes that support our development teams and their best practices. This role operates on a hybrid work model.

Major Responsibilities:

• Design and develop efficient software components for complex tasks without supervision.
• Take a high-level idea or business need, identify the underlying problem and the outcome actually wanted, and carry it through to a working, maintainable solution rather than building to the literal request.
• Steer technical direction on projects toward reusable, maintainable systems rather than one-off implementations.
• Assist in the design of application architecture, including structure, data models, and integration points, so features can be added without rework as the system grows.
• Own the integrity of code shipped on assigned projects, serving as the responsible point of contact if something breaks.
• Effectively manage development projects and report on progress.
• Effectively troubleshoot and diagnose complex software problems.
• Ensure website designs are compliant with the major browsers.
• Design intuitive and responsive web-based user interfaces.
• Anticipate, identify, and mitigate problem areas.
• Develop prototypes and proofs of concept for end users.
• Meet with users to define application requirements.
• Provide direction and guidance to less experienced staff.
• Conduct thorough, final-stage code reviews and give approval before changes are merged.
• Performs testing of websites.
• Other duties as assigned.

• 5+ years of relevant software development experience, including 2+ years owning projects end to end: setting technical direction, refining requirements, and carrying features through launch into continuing maintenance and support.
• Able to mentor/train Software Dev I and Dev II employees.
• Strong hands-on experience across the stack: TypeScript and JavaScript with frameworks such as Vue and Nuxt, HTML and CSS screen layouts, server-side web services and APIs (including WCF), and MS SQL Server (T-SQL) and MySQL databases.
• Real-world coding experience delivering and maintaining production software, with the depth to work effectively without AI assistance.
• Proven experience directing AI development tools to build and ship complex projects, not just isolated snippets or boilerplate: breaking large problems into workable pieces, supplying the right context and specifications, and iterating toward a sound design.
• Ability to critically review and validate AI-generated code, recognizing when output is incorrect, insecure, or poorly structured, and knowing the underlying technology well enough to correct it.
• Solid experience with website security and security best practices.
• Ability to write flexible, reusable, and documented code.
• Strong analytical abilities.
• Strong customer service attitude.
• Proficiency with Git, including branching and pull request workflows, and the ability to troubleshoot and resolve repository problems such as merge conflicts, bad merges, and damaged history.
• Strong understanding of REST architecture, and experience contributing to application-level design decisions on real projects: data models, service boundaries, and integration points, with attention to performance and long-term maintainability.
• Bonus: Experience with SCORM and developing learning platforms.
• Bonus: Experience with Azure (projects, web apps, blob storage, pipelines, releases, permissions).
