You will work across front-end and back-end systems, deploying scalable solutions on Microsoft Azure and partnering closely with product, data, security, and compliance teams. Success in this role means delivering reliable, secure, and well-architected systems across multiple applications, modernizing existing platforms, and taking ownership of the systems you build and support.
Duties and Responsibilities:
- Design, build, deploy, and operate cloud-native applications on Microsoft Azure, following modern architectural and security best practices.
- Develop and enhance full-stack web applications across a variety of internal and member-facing systems using technologies such as Next.js, Nuxt.js, React.js, Angular, .NET, Java, and Node.js.
- Build and maintain backend services and RESTful APIs using C#/.NET and Java, supporting integrations with internal platforms and third-party vendors.
- Design, optimize, and maintain relational and non-relational databases, with strong hands-on experience in Azure SQL and other data stores.
- Own applications end-to-end, including production support, monitoring, troubleshooting, performance optimization, and cost efficiency in Azure.
- Implement and maintain CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps, ensuring high-quality releases through automated testing and disciplined code review practices.
- Collaborate with security and compliance partners to ensure applications meet organizational policies and regulatory requirements.
- Apply AI-assisted tools across software development, testing, documentation, and engineering workflows to enhance team productivity, quality, and delivery efficiency, while ensuring solutions remain maintainable, secure, and well governed.
- Provide technical leadership in Agile/Scrum ceremonies, including technical planning, estimation, and delivery commitments.
- Create and maintain clear technical documentation for applications, APIs, and system integrations.
- Stay current with emerging technologies, cloud services, and industry trends, recommending improvements as appropriate.
- Other duties, as assigned.
Required Qualifications: - Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience).
- 5+ years of professional experience delivering and supporting production-grade software solutions.
- Strong hands-on experience with full-stack development, including:
- Front-end: Next.js / Nuxt.js, React.js, Angular

- Solid experience deploying and operating applications on Microsoft Azure.
- Practical experience with Azure DevOps for source control, CI/CD pipelines, and work item tracking.
- Exposure to and practical use of AI coding tools (such as copilots or code assistants) in a professional development environment.
- Strong understanding of software architecture, scalability, security best practices, and the full software development lifecycle.
- Ability to work independently, make sound technical decisions, and take ownership of complex technical implementations.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to explain technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
Preferred Qualifications:- Experience supporting or integrating with Microsoft Power Platform solutions, including Power Apps and Power Automate.
- Experience integrating authentication and authorization solutions such as Auth0, including familiarity with OAuth/OIDC-based SSO patterns.
- Familiarity with Azure-based reporting or analytics integrations (for example, Power BI).
- Experience modernizing legacy applications or contributing to large-scale platform migrations.
What success looks like in this role: - You reliably deliver high-quality, scalable, and secure applications that support both staff and member-facing systems.
- You take strong ownership of the applications and services you are responsible for in production.
- You effectively use AI-assisted development tools to improve speed and quality without sacrificing maintainability.
- You are a trusted senior technical contributor who partners well with cross-functional teams to deliver business value.
