OverviewDecisionPoint seeks four
Senior Full-Stack Software Developers to design, implement, test, secure, and modernize mission-critical software capabilities for the USMEPCOM ENLIST program. These roles develop complex features across front-end and back-end application layers, build and integrate APIs, correct security findings, perform code reviews, and support reliable software releases.
The Senior Full-Stack Software Developers work with architects, mission liaisons, requirements analysts, UI/UX specialists, testers, cybersecurity personnel, DevSecOps engineers, and Government stakeholders. They also mentor other developers and cross-train across critical components to improve delivery continuity and reduce key-person dependencies.
These positions are remote, with Chicago-area candidates preferred.
Note: By applying to this position, you acknowledge and consent to having your resume included in an active competitive government contract bid.
Duties & ResponsibilitiesThe Senior Full-Stack Software Developers will:
- Design, develop, test, integrate, document, deploy, and maintain mission-critical software capabilities.
- Implement complex features and modernization enhancements across front-end, application, service, API, and data-access layers.
- Translate approved requirements, user stories, acceptance criteria, interface requirements, and design specifications into secure software solutions.
- Develop intuitive and accessible web interfaces in coordination with UI/UX and accessibility specialists.
- Design, implement, document, and maintain secure application programming interfaces and service integrations.
- Develop reusable components, shared services, libraries, and software patterns.
- Support application modernization, refactoring, technical-debt reduction, and replacement of obsolete components.
- Evaluate existing code and recommend improvements to reliability, maintainability, scalability, security, and performance.
- Implement approved security fixes and coordinate remediation with cybersecurity, testing, and platform teams.
- Apply secure coding practices throughout design, development, testing, integration, and deployment.
- Develop and maintain unit tests, integration tests, regression tests, and other automated quality checks.
- Participate in peer reviews, code reviews, design reviews, and architecture discussions.
- Review source code for correctness, security, performance, testability, maintainability, and compliance with established development standards.
- Diagnose and resolve complex defects, integration failures, performance issues, and production-support concerns.
- Support root-cause analysis and implement durable corrective actions.
- Use approved version-control practices, including branching, merging, pull requests, tagging, and release management.
- Support continuous integration and continuous delivery pipelines, automated builds, testing, and deployment activities.
- Develop and maintain technical documentation, API documentation, build instructions, installation procedures, and release artifacts.
- Support sprint planning, backlog refinement, daily coordination, demonstrations, reviews, retrospectives, and release-readiness activities.
- Provide accurate estimates and identify technical risks, dependencies, assumptions, and implementation constraints.
- Coordinate work with architecture, infrastructure, cloud, database, cybersecurity, testing, training, and operations teams.
- Mentor junior and journeyman developers through technical guidance, code reviews, pairing, and knowledge sharing.
- Cross-train on critical application components and provide coverage during absences, incidents, releases, and priority remediation activities.
- Support Government demonstrations, user acceptance testing, operational validation, and stakeholder feedback.
- Protect sensitive data and comply with applicable federal, DoD, security, privacy, and configuration-management requirements.
- Contribute to continuous improvement of software-engineering, testing, documentation, and delivery practices.
