    • Develop technical documentation that can support the completion of state requirements.

Collaborate

    • Coordinate development activities (establish development processes) and make technical decisions that reflect the ideal solution and practical realities.
    • Provide counsel on technical matters in plain language to our team and stakeholders.
    • Coordinate and work with in-house department and agency technical teams, including those who support legacy systems, to execute on development projects and ensure that they are setup to succeed.
    • Take part in office-wide initiatives and stand-ups to enable collaboration and support across projects.

    • Ability to engage with technologies such as: modern JavaScript (strong) in a “Jamstack” architecture, React, Next.js, Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML), JavaScript libraries, linting, and best practices, Amazon Web Services (AWS), “NoSQL” document store persistence, and Git/GitHub version control.
    • Building and applying reusable front-end design patterns to reduce future development overhead.
    • Incorporating global web design assets.
    • Translating static mockups and images into working prototypes.
    • Ensuring 508 accessibility compliance with the assistance of automated testing tools.
    • Writing well-designed, testable, efficient code.
    • Writing automated feature/functional tests for application flows.
    • Ensuring seamless integration among front- and backend systems.
    • Mitigating common security vulnerabilities (e.g., cross-site scripting).
    • Executing full lifecycle software development.
    • Consuming application programming interfaces (APIs) to new and legacy internal and external systems, some of which may be undocumented.
    • Translating application requirements into APIs, libraries/utilities, data models, and database schemas.
    • Writing developer-friendly documentation (e.g., API documentation, deployment operations).
    • Improving shared libraries/utilities and practices around authentication, logging, alerting, and monitoring.
    • Debugging and diagnosing issues in distributed systems.
    • Designing infrastructure for supporting continuous integration, continuous deployment, and monitoring.
    • Ensuring system uptime and performance.
