The Application Developer will work alongside experienced technical professionals while learning the organization’s existing applications, development environment, and business processes.

Candidates do not need extensive professional development experience to be considered. Relevant experience may come from professional work, internships, academic coursework, or substantial development projects.

• Troubleshoot, debug, and resolve software defects, application issues, and performance problems.

• Research new functionality, technologies, and development approaches that could improve existing systems.

• Assist with keeping applications current from both technology and security perspectives.

• Work within existing codebases and gradually assume greater ownership of supported applications.

• Collaborate with developers, infrastructure professionals, and other members of the internal IT team.

• Communicate with internal stakeholders to understand application needs and resolve technical issues.

• Participate in an occasional rotating after-hours support schedule.

• Ability to read, understand, and modify an existing codebase.

• General understanding of software testing and application problem resolution.

• Ability to troubleshoot technical problems methodically.

• Interest and ability to learn additional technologies, applications, and development methodologies.

Certifications

• Work alongside experienced technical professionals who can provide mentorship and support.

• Exposure to broader IT technologies and business systems beyond application development.
