Position Overview

The Full Stack Developer is an entry-level position responsible for supporting the development, maintenance, and continuous improvement of internal enterprise applications. Working closely with senior developers and business users, this role will contribute to applications built primarily with Angular, .NET, and SQL Server by developing features, resolving bugs, testing changes, and supporting production systems.

This position is designed for a developer early in their career who is eager to learn and grow into greater technical ownership. During the first several months, the developer will learn the company's applications, development practices, and business processes while working under the guidance of experienced team members. As their knowledge and experience grow, they will take end-to-end responsibility for one or more enterprise applications, including ongoing development, support, troubleshooting, and collaboration with end users.

The ideal candidate is a motivated problem solver with a strong foundation in software development fundamentals, good communication skills, and a willingness to learn. This role requires someone who can work collaboratively with both technical and non-technical teams, accept feedback, and continuously improve their technical skills and understanding of the business.

This is an onsite position headquartered in Westport, CT.
