Associate Microsoft Application Developer, #1065

Microsoft .NET | Application Development | O&M | Data-Driven Mission Systems

Location: Remote, must be located in Washington D.C. Metro Area

Clearance: Public Trust or ability to obtain, MUST BE US CITIZEN

Dev Technology is seeking an Associate Microsoft Application Developer to support mission-critical federal systems focused on application development, operations and maintenance, data integration, and technology modernization.

This role is ideal for a developer who is ready to keep growing: someone who enjoys learning from experienced teammates, working closely with clients and end users, and helping turn real mission needs into reliable, maintainable software. You will join a cohesive Agile team that values curiosity, follow-through, collaboration, and steady technical growth.

The work supports federal users who rely on secure, data-informed systems to carry out complex regulatory and operational responsibilities. You will help enhance existing applications, develop new features and services, troubleshoot issues, and contribute to practical solutions that improve how users access, manage, and act on critical information.

Technical Delivery and Client Partnership

This role blends hands-on development with close team and client collaboration. You will:
  • Design, develop, and implement new applications, services, and enhancements to existing systems
  • Translate technical requirements and architecture designs into clean, maintainable code
  • Support ongoing Operations and Maintenance for existing mission systems
  • Participate in application design, technical specifications, testing, troubleshooting, and performance validation
  • Work within an Agile team to deliver features, resolve issues, and improve system reliability
  • Collaborate with developers, analysts, testers, and client stakeholders to understand needs and solve problems
  • Join client and team working sessions as needed to clarify requirements, solve problems, and support mission execution
  • Contribute to continuous improvement in code quality, testing, deployment, and team practices

You will stay close to the work: writing code, supporting releases, learning the business context, and helping the team deliver solutions that meet real user and mission needs.

Who Thrives Here

People who thrive in this role are early- to mid-career developers who want to grow in both technical skill and professional judgment. They:
  • Are curious, coachable, and motivated to keep learning
  • Enjoy working as part of a supportive, collaborative team
  • Ask good questions and take time to understand the problem before jumping to a solution
  • Communicate clearly with technical and non-technical teammates
  • Take ownership of assigned work and follow through on commitments
  • Care about building software that is reliable, useful, and maintainable
  • Are comfortable supporting existing systems while also helping create new capabilities
  • Enjoy partnering with clients and end users to understand needs, clarify requirements, and support mission outcomes

The Opportunity

This is a strong opportunity for a developer who wants to deepen their Microsoft application development experience while supporting meaningful federal work. You will have room to grow technically, learn from experienced engineers, gain exposure to mission systems, and build confidence working directly with teammates and clients.

If you are looking for a role where you can contribute, learn, and steadily grow as part of a team that values partnership and practical problem-solving, this position offers both challenge and long-term development.
