The Opportunity:
As a back-end developer, you know that a good site or system needs the right combination of clean code, APIs, analytics, and infrastructure to develop a user-focused solution. We're looking for an experienced back-end developer with the software engineering skills it takes to identify potential risks, contribute to solution development, and create efficient and effective systems for our clients.
As a back-end developer at Booz Allen, you'll use the latest architectural approaches and open-source frameworks and tools to deliver solutions. Using your software engineering experience, you'll work with the development team to create custom tools, systems, and sites with consistent performance and scalability.
In this role, you'll provide code management support for the different applications, develop regression testing protocols, ensure that the applications can build and run all supported tests on all supported platforms, maintain up to date documentation, develop and support release protocols, support hierarchical system development of the applications, and triage, investigate, and resolve bugs reported to the supported applications. You'll make a mission-forward impact as you further your skillset and career. Work with us as we shape systems for the better.
Join us. The world can't wait.
