Software Engineer - School of Medicine

Position Summary:
The Software Engineer 1 - Full Stack develops, enhances, integrates, and supports applications, data solutions, and technical services used by students, faculty, and staff across the Lewis Katz School of Medicine. The position independently owns assigned work from requirements gathering and solution design through development, testing, deployment, documentation, maintenance, and production support. The Software Engineer works closely with the Director of Information Technology, colleagues, and school stakeholders to translate business and academic needs into secure, reliable, accessible, and sustainable technical solutions.

The role supports a mixed technology environment that includes legacy and modern web applications, SQL Server databases, vendor platforms, APIs, data integrations, ETL processes, reporting, automation, and application modernization. Primary assignments may emphasize application development, data integration and reporting, or another area based on organizational priorities and the employee's experience; however, both Software Engineers share responsibility for the broader applications and data portfolio and are expected to cross-train to support service continuity.

Technologies may include Java, JSP, C#, ASP.NET, HTML5, CSS, JavaScript, modern frontend frameworks, Python, SQL Server, SSIS, SSRS, RESTful APIs, PowerShell, Power Platform, Git, and related modern development and data tools.
