Description of Job

OIT ONLY RECRUITMENT: This recruitment is open only to current employees of the Office of Information Technology for the State of Colorado. Contractors currently engaged at OIT do not qualify as employees.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Please review your application to ensure completion. For the most equitable applicant experience, OIT’s hiring team considers only the contents of your application to review your qualifications. Please do not include any attachments (such as resume or cover letter) with your application as these items are not used by OIT’s hiring team.

We are seeking a motivated Developer II to join our software engineering team and contribute to the design, development, testing, deployment, and support of modern full-stack applications to provide reliable service for State of Colorado residents.

The ideal candidate has strong experience across the full Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC), but is primarily focused on modern, cloud-native software development activities. The Developer II should be comfortable working independently on well-defined features while also seeking guidance when solving complex technical problems. If using your creativity and innovation in the development and delivery of software solutions is what you love, apply today for the chance to also put your passion into the state you love.

Essential Duties:

• Consult with Solution Architects, Solution Engineers, and others to design decoupled, domain-driven applications in line with OIT strategies (e.g., Cloud First, Mobile First, Secure Colorado, etc.).
• Collaborate with Business Analysts, Customers, Project Managers, and others to assist in the creation of estimates and timelines.
• Create and code applications using Agile methodologies as needed.
• Develop, maintain, and own reusable frontend systems (e.g., component libraries, design tokens) to reduce delivery costs and duplicate build times across enterprise applications.
• Perform full-stack coding and further minimize defects through disciplined testing and CI/CD pipeline automation.
• Organize, build, and validate all segments of the code related to a specific build (release) for final User Acceptance Testing.
• Determine the best approach in the development of an application’s code to meet the customer’s current requirements and anticipate future enhancement needs, including scalability and high throughput.
