You'll pick up well-scoped tickets, pair with senior engineers, and grow into larger pieces of the system over time. We are not looking for someone who already knows our stack; we are looking for someone with solid programming fundamentals, genuine curiosity, and the habit of following a problem until they actually understand it., * A minimum of one year of professional software engineering experience, OR equivalent experience through a degree in computer science or a related field, a coding bootcamp, military service, apprenticeship, open-source contribution, or demonstrated self-taught work (2+ years is preferred) * Working proficiency in at least one object-oriented or general-purpose programming language (C# strongly preferred); Java, Python, TypeScript/JavaScript, Go, or C++ are all reasonable starting points if you're willing to work primarily in C# * Understanding of core programming fundamentals: data structures, control flow, functions and classes, error handling, and reading someone else's code * Familiarity with SQL and relational database concepts, including tables, keys, joins * Basic understanding of HTTP, REST APIs, and JSON * Experience using Git for version control, including branches and pull requests * Some exposure to automated testing (unit tests at minimum) and a willingness to make it a habit * Clear written and verbal communication with the ability to explain what you did, what you tried, and where you're stuck * Genuine curiosity and persistence: you dig into a problem before asking, and you ask clearly when you're actually blocked * Comfortable asking for help and working on a remote team distributed across multiple time zones * Full-time resident of the contiguous United States (must be legally authorized to work in the US now and in the future without sponsorship) * Ability to pass a Public Trust background check and any applicable background and/or security checks related to project requirements, * Experience with C# and .NET specifically * Any exposure to Microsoft Azure, Microsoft Dynamics 365/Dataverse, or the Power Platform * Experience with CI/CD pipelines, GitHub Actions, or Azure DevOps * Exposure to cloud concepts-managed services, environments, deployments, logging * Front-end experience with TypeScript and a modern framework * Awareness of web accessibility (Section 508/WCAG) and secure coding basics * Interest in or prior exposure to federal government or civic technology work * Experience working in an agile team with sprints and code review ## Description You'll be working on building a large scale travel reimbursement system for a government client. The system spans a Microsoft Dynamics 365 staff-facing portal, a .NET claims and reimbursement API running in Azure Government, an auto-adjudication rules engine, and integrations with a dozen internal and external systems that handle identity, eligibility, and payment. A typical day would include the following tasks and responsibilities: * Write, test, and ship well-scoped production code in C#/.NET, with guidance from senior engineers * Write automated tests for your own work, and help grow the team's test coverage * Participate in code review, both receiving feedback and, over time, giving it * Pair with senior engineers on larger features to learn the system's architecture and the reasoning behind it * Help investigate and fix production bugs, learning to read logs, traces, and Application Insights telemetry * Make configuration and customization changes in Microsoft Dynamics 365/Dataverse and Power Platform, with training and support * Write and maintain clear technical documentation as you learn areas of the system * Participate in sprint ceremonies, estimate your own work, and communicate progress and blockers early * Follow secure coding practices appropriate to a system handling PII and payment data, under a federal Authority to Operate In Your First 30 Days, You Will: * Complete new hire orientation training and familiarize yourself with the Coforma Field Guide * Meet your project team and external counterparts and understand who is responsible for what * Get your development and non-production environments working * Ship your first small production change with support from a senior engineer * Build a basic mental model of how the Dynamics portal, the .NET APIs, and client system integrations fit together After 60 Days: * Independently complete well-scoped tickets with normal code review * Write tests as a default part of your work rather than an afterthought * Debug straightforward production issues with minimal guidance * Ask thoughtful, specific questions that show you've investigated first After 90 Days and Beyond: * Take on tickets of increasing scope and ambiguity * Contribute useful review comments on teammates' pull requests * Own a small area of the codebase and become a reliable point of contact for it * Identify and propose small improvements to code quality, tests, or documentation, * Internet: Will prioritize and maintain access to strong, reliable internet for the remote nature of our work, except when on vacation or holiday. * Security: Will keep the highest security practices to ensure privacy and security of Coforma and client information, given the nature of our work, even when on vacation. * Travel Flexibility: On request and with advanced notice, will attend in-person events such as meetings, workshops, and trainings as assigned for projects that require it. * Brand Representation: Will represent Coforma professionally and sincerely, modeling our Company Values in all interactions.
