Dive deep into our existing codebase to build a thorough understanding of our architecture, data models, and service dependencies — becoming a reliable backup and steward of core systems
Write clean, well-documented TypeScript and Node.js code across backend services, APIs, and frontend features, with a consistent eye toward maintainability and performance
Manage your work through Jira — picking up tickets, contributing to sprint planning, and keeping tasks and statuses accurate so the team always has clear visibility into progress
Collaborate via GitHub using pull requests, code reviews, and branching strategies that keep our codebase healthy and deployments predictable
Maintain and expand technical documentation in Confluence, ensuring that institutional knowledge is captured, up to date, and accessible to the whole team
Participate in regular code reviews — both giving and receiving feedback thoughtfully to raise the quality bar across the board
Help triage, debug, and resolve production issues, taking ownership of problems through to resolution rather than passing them along
Contribute to the design and implementation of new features end-to-end, from data modeling and API design to integration and testing
Proactively flag technical debt, inconsistencies, or risks you encounter and work collaboratively to address them over time
Engage in team ceremonies — standups, sprint reviews, retrospectives — and bring a constructive, communicative presence to everything you do

GCO and Federal Government Experience is a must

Familiarity with Jira for task and sprint management in an agile or scrum environment
