Flex Schedule Graduate Full Stack Developer Jobs in Illinois

Overview Itron is innovating new ways for utilities and cities to manage energy and water. This role is part of the team building Itron's digital construction reporting capabilities for Utilities & Energy customers, leveraging the newly acquired Locusview products. You'll design and deliver end‐to‐end features—from intuitive web experiences to scalable backend services—that transform field‐captured data into accurate, client‐ready reports, including PDFs with geospatial/map content. Responsibilities Build and evolve full stack reporting features that are customer centric and aligned to Utilities & Energy workflows, balancing usability, performance, and reliability. Design, develop, and deliver scalable backend services using Java and Node.js, owning features from design through deployment. Develop and maintain front‐end components using Angular or React, collaborating closely with design/product to deliver accessible, responsive, and maintainable UI. Design systems that transform large volumes of field‐captured data into structured outputs (tables, summaries, and map visualizations) that are clear, consistent, and client‐ready. Implement report rendering pipelines that generate fixed‐layout PDFs, including embedded maps and geospatial context, with a focus on quality and readability. Solve complex visualization challenges such as label density, overlapping map annotations, and maintaining clarity and scale in constrained PDF layouts. Partner with product managers to clarify requirements, estimate work, prioritize features, and plan releases for reporting capabilities. Apply and advocate for best practices in coding standards, testing, security, observability, and system design—helping the team stay agile and innovative. Improve CI/CD pipelines and development workflows to increase quality, reduce cycle time, and strengthen accountability for production outcomes. Mentor and collaborate with engineers through reviews, pairing, and knowledge sharing—building a supportive, inclusive team culture. Research, propose, and implement new technologies or approaches that enhance report performance, rendering quality, and developer productivity. Qualifications B.S. in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience. 7+ years of professional software development experience, including ownership of production systems and end‐to‐end delivery. 2+ years of experience building web UIs with Angular or React, plus strong CSS/SCSS skills. Strong hands‐on experience with Java and Node.js in backend development. Proven experience designing and building scalable microservices and RESTful APIs. Strong understanding of object‐oriented design, backend design patterns, and system architecture. Experience with relational databases (data modeling, query optimization, and reliability considerations). Proficiency with Git and modern version control workflows. Solid understanding of the software development lifecycle, CI practices, and agile methodologies. Experience building on SaaS platforms or enterprise‐grade systems with high availability and data integrity needs. Demonstrated ability to lead by example through code quality, clear communication, ownership, and accountable execution. A collaborative, customer‐focused mindset—able to translate customer and field needs into practical technical solutions. Preferred Skills Experience with PDF generation tools or document rendering frameworks (e.g., JSReport or similar), including layout and typography considerations. Familiarity with geospatial technologies and mapping concepts (e.g., Esri platforms, spatial data, map tiles, or custom mapping solutions). Experience with containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes) in production environments. Experience with cloud platforms such as AWS (EC2, S3, ECS) and cloud‐native design patterns. Experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines, automated testing frameworks, and observability tooling (logging/metrics/tracing). Exposure to performance tuning for large datasets and complex rendering workflows, with a track record of innovative problem solving.
