Junior Full Stack Jobs in Virginia (NOW HIRING)

Title: Senior Full Stack Developer

Duration: Full time

Lactation: Ashburn, VA (Hybrid with 2 days a week on site)

Overview

Each day U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) oversees the massive flow of people, capital, and products that enter and depart the United States via air, land, sea, and cyberspace. The volume and complexity of both physical and virtual border crossings require the application of big data solutions to promote efficient trade and travel. Further, effective big data solutions help CBP ensure the movement of people, capital, and products is legal, safe, and secure. In response to this challenge, ADTECH, as a trusted mission partner of CBP, seeks capable, qualified, and versatile Full Stack Developers to facilitate data-driven decision making in response to national security threats.

Full Stack Developers will: 1) support the development of enterprise applications; 2) design and implement micro-services architectures; and 3) develop performance dashboards and artifacts to inform resource allocation, justify requirements, and support statutory reporting mandates.

The strongest applicants will have a proven track record of delivering production ready decision support tools and applications employed in the field and by mission-support entities. Developers play a key leadership role in multidisciplinary teams providing crucial insight on databases, modelling, business logic and object orientation, API, user interface and user experience. Developers must also model behaviours supporting the acquisition of new skills and enhanced understanding and fostering the same attitude in their colleagues in both technical and mission understanding.

Within three to six months of joining the project, the Full Stack Developers will be expected to:

• Lead and perform development and maintenance of end-user focused, object-oriented, data-driven analytic applications to support CBP threat analysis and targeting.
• Independently identify technical solutions for business problems, directly contribute to conceptual design, and routinely collaborate with Enterprise/Application architects, Database Architects, Data Scientists, and mission stakeholders.
• Develop new code, modify existing application code, conduct unit and system testing, and engage in rigorous documentation of developed and delivered application use cases, data flows, and functional operations.
• Demonstrate a strong practical understanding of industry standard Java Application Servers technologies such as WebLogic, WebSphere, Tomcat EE and/or JBoss for application delivery.
• Demonstrate a strong practical understanding of application-relevant cargo and passenger data and databases used to support analytic application development, functionality and targeting end user (officer) operation.
• Drive the development of CBP Common Framework-compliant UI/UX to promote clear, consistent, and simple to use interfaces for developed applications. Support building complementary job aids and tutorials for mission facing field users.
• Actively participate in formal and informal design reviews, solution sessions, and project milestone meetings as well as contribute to project document artifacts for presentation to both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Integrate with, and materially contribute to, project portfolio teams as a matrixed resource to provide development and issue resolution expertise in collaboration with data scientists, intelligence analysts, developers, and other participants at the direction of a project manager.
• Mentor junior developers and actively contribute to the development of a community of practice focused on enhancing technical skills, sharing best practices, and promoting enhanced mission domain knowledge.

Applicants should note that while some formal training exists to support building knowledge of missions and the implementation of data-driven solutions, much of the knowledge must be gained through on-the-job training and individual initiative. Technical knowledge is insufficient to establish credibility in this operating environment; expertise must be enhanced with rapid acquisition of mission knowledge and demonstrated commitment positive mission outcomes; therefore, we seek self-starters who are capable of independent exploration and knowledge acquisition, willing to develop informal support networks, and with an appreciation for the immense challenge of safeguarding the Nation s borders.
