Junior Software Engineer

Description

We are looking for a curious, conscientious, and fast-learning Junior Software Engineer to join our growing, distributed team supporting a federal government client at Coforma.

As a Junior Software Engineer, you’ll write real production code early on, with support. You’ll pick up well-scoped tickets, pair with senior engineers, and grow into larger pieces of the system over time. We are not looking for someone who already knows our stack; we are looking for someone with solid programming fundamentals, genuine curiosity, and the habit of following a problem until they actually understand it.

We will teach you Dynamics, Azure Government, and the overall integration landscape. You need to bring the programming fundamentals and the willingness to learn.

If you’re passionate about improving lives through digital products and services, then Coforma is a great company for you.

• Write, test, and ship well-scoped production code in C#/.NET, with guidance from senior engineers
