Full Stack .Net Developer with Frontend Focus

Code samples or a portfolio are required upfront with every submission, including front-end and UI work Role Weighting

• .NET and C# development: approximately 40 percent
• Front-end development, UI, and UX: approximately 40 percent
• Middleware and APIs: approximately 10 percent
• SQL Server: approximately 10 percent
• Accessibility: a heavy, core requirement across all of the work above

Bachelor’s degree in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), design, computer science, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience. A graduate degree in HCI is preferred. A degree in design or HCI combined with a solid coding background is preferred. Multiple degrees and certifications are valued.

• Strong .NET and C# development experience, and strong front-end development experience. These two areas are the core of the role.
• Demonstrated UX and UI knowledge: design thinking, usability principles, responsive design, and experience turning designs into working interfaces. A portfolio should show UI work, not only backend code.
• Front-end depth in HTML5, CSS, Sass, and JavaScript.
• Formal WCAG training and demonstrated experience coding and testing for WCAG 2.1 AA, including hands-on use of accessibility testing tools.
• Recent experience (within the last three years) with current frameworks and modern best practices. Legacy system experience older than three years will not align with the State’s upcoming standardization efforts.
• Experience working within an enterprise design system.
• Experience with Azure DevOps and CI/CD pipelines.
• Working knowledge of SQL Server, APIs, and middleware integrations.
• Experience supporting enterprise production applications, and experience handling classified or sensitive data.

Preferred Qualifications

• Accessibility certification (for example, DHS Trusted Tester, IAAP WAS, or CPACC) or equivalent formal training.
• Experience supporting government or healthcare systems.
• Experience with Angular, GitHub, and AWS services.

• Experience modernizing existing applications rather than building greenfield solutions. Ideal Candidate

• The ideal candidate is a developer who is strong in .NET and equally strong at the front end: they build the interface Iowans actually see, to design standards, accessibly, and they can show that work. They already work the way these teams are moving: modern practices, an enterprise design system, and accessible code tested with real tools, without foundational training or a long ramp-up.
• Primary skill set: .NET, C#, HTML5, CSS, Sass, JavaScript, UX and UI design implementation, WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility and testing tools, REST APIs, Azure DevOps, CI/CD, enterprise design systems. Position focus: accessibility first, with .NET development and front-end
