About the Role Redhorse Corporation is seeking a highly skilled and experienced Applications Developer to join a critical, multi-disciplinary application development team supporting a key Sponsor mission.

Ensure all developed applications and enhancements meet agreed-upon performance and security SLAs (e.g., system up-time, concurrent users, system recovery). Comply with the Sponsor's Risk Management (Cyber Security) Framework and Authorization and Accreditation (A&A) processes throughout the project lifecycle. Coding & Integration: Design, code, and debug web applications, including building API services and user interfaces (UI), writing interfaces to companion applications, and maintaining interactive web databases and web services. Testing & Quality Assurance: Conduct comprehensive unit/functional testing and peer review of teammate's code to ensure quality and correctness. Data & Database: Design and maintain interactive web databases; adapt the system data model, coordinating with the System Architect, to potentially include a graph database and link analysis format; and transition data from legacy systems. Documentation: Compile and write clear, concise documentation of program development, revisions, and proposed updates to application architectures and interfaces, obtaining approval via Sponsor-approved processes prior to implementation. System Administration: Perform ad-hoc general system administration activities as needed.
