Responsibilities

• Develop full-stack features using React for the front end and .NET/Node.js services within a microservices architecture hosted on Microsoft Azure.
• Leverage AI-powered coding tools and assistants, such as Claude Code, throughout the software development lifecycle to generate, test, and refactor code effectively while owning the output quality.
• Apply sound architectural and design principles including service boundaries and design patterns (SOLID, DRY) to produce extensible, reusable, and sustainable software.
• Participate in technical design decisions, influencing how features and components are constructed.
• Conduct thorough reviews of code and tests, including those generated by AI, to ensure correctness, security, and performance.
• Author and execute comprehensive testing covering unit, integration, and regression scenarios, including identifying complex edge cases.
• Translate product specifications into well-scoped tasks and clarify requirements proactively.
• Collaborate continuously with Product Management, UX, Quality Assurance, and DevOps teams as part of an evolving development process.
• Be willing to undertake up to 10% travel across the nation annually.

• Fundamental engineering knowledge including object-oriented programming, clean code design (SOLID/DRY principles), and familiarity with relational databases, SQL, and Git version control.
• Hands-on experience using AI code generation and debugging tools like Copilot, Claude, Cursor, or ChatGPT gained via coursework, internships, personal projects, hackathons, or open-source contributions.
• Strong ability to read and critically assess code written by others—including AI-generated output—to ensure quality and correctness.
• Effective communication skills to clearly articulate problems and technical concepts to team members.
• A passion for learning, adaptability, and readiness to acquire new skills and technologies swiftly.

Preferred Qualifications

• Prior experience with C#/.NET and/or React with TypeScript frameworks.
• Familiarity with microservices architecture and cloud platforms, preferably Azure, though AWS or GCP expertise is welcome.
• Knowledge of cloud-native concepts such as containerization, continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines, and infrastructure as code.
• Experience in test automation tools like Playwright, xUnit/NUnit, or Jest.
• Understanding or exposure to Model Context Protocol (MCP) workflows or multi-agent systems.
• Interest or experience in data platforms, including data lakes or lakehouses, analytics, or machine learning technologies.
• A strong commitment to the mission of supporting human-services organizations.
