This engagement is focused on the continuous delivery of working software through iterative development cycles and close collaboration with Client’s technical staff.
KEY RESPONSIBILITES:
Application Development:
Design, develop, test, and deploy new features and enhancements across front-end (ReactJS) and back-end (Python/FastAPI) layers of CLIENT applications. Build and maintain RESTful APIs using FastAPI. Ensure proper validation, error handling, versioning, and OpenAPI/Swagger documentation.
Front-End & Database Management: Develop responsive, accessible front-end interfaces using ReactJS. Adhere to CLIENT UX standards and Section 508 accessibility requirements.
Implement and manage data models, queries, migrations, and stored procedures within PostgreSQL databases. Ensure attention to performance and data integrity.
Trunk-Based Workflow & Collaboration:Operate within CLIENT''s trunk-based development workflow. Commit small, incremental changes frequently to the main branch to reduce integration risk.

Support deployment of containerized workloads to AWS environments, such as ECS or EKS. Utilize AWS services relevant to application hosting, including EC2, S3, RDS, CloudWatch, IAM, and VPC networking.
Testing & Quality Assurance: Write and maintain automated unit, integration, and regression tests. Use pytest or equivalent for back-end testing. Use Jest, React Testing Library, or equivalent for front-end testing. Ensure new features and bug fixes are accompanied by appropriate test coverage prior to merge
Maintenance & Documentation: Investigate, diagnose, and resolve application defects, performance issues, and security vulnerabilities across all layers of the stack. Proactively identify and address technical debt by refactoring code. Maintain accurate, up-to-date technical documentation, including API documentation, architecture decision records (ADRs), and developer setup guides.
