IT Full-Stack Developer

Overview

Future Fuel Chemical is looking for a Full-Stack Developer to join our IT Department.

Future Fuel Chemical Company (FFCC) is seeking a self-directed, security-focused Full-Stack Web Application Developer. While this is a hands-on software development role rather than a people-management position, it requires strong, proven project management skills. Because you will be working independently a majority of the time, your ability to organize, prioritize, and self-direct the migration strategy is critical to our success. Your workload will be split between supporting our legacy web architecture (Classic ASP.NET,

VBScript, JavaScript, IIS, and SQL Server) and building out the new platform using React.

JS/.NET with a MySQL backend. The ideal candidate possesses a strong software development lifecycle background, thinks systematically, and excels at driving projects from conception to completion under minimal supervision.

• Apply strong working knowledge of project management and time management techniques to organize, prioritize, and manage multiple workloads with minimal supervision.
• Milestone Tracking:
  Break down the overarching migration goal into clear technical milestones, self-directing your daily tasks to meet deadlines under pressure.
• Lifecycle Management:
  Manage the full software development lifecycle of the transition, proactively identifying technical dependencies, resource constraints, and deployment risks.
• Documentation & Reporting:
  Maintain necessary project plans and thorough documentation of all system/application builds. Provide concise weekly status reports focused entirely on completed technical results.
• System Maintenance:
  Directly troubleshoot, debug, and optimize existing web application components built on Classic ASP.NET, VBScript, JavaScript, and IIS.
• Database Programming:
  Write and optimize complex Transact-SQL (T-SQL) queries, manage stored procedures, and handle data modifications within our legacy SQL Server databases.
• XML Data Processing:
  Perform advanced application troubleshooting involving XML schemas, data extraction, transformation, and database integration.
• Performance Tuning:
  Monitor systems proactively for capacity constraints, perform data dictionary maintenance, and execute database performance analysis to maximize system availability.
• Hands-on Migration:
  Re-code and transition legacy web logic over to a modern frontend using React and a structured MySQL backend.
• Application & Database Implementation:
  Build user interfaces, design schemas, and implement optimized queries for the new application platform.
• Security Integration:
  Build security directly into the code by employing "least privilege" access design principles across all database structures and application layers.
• Disaster Readiness:
  Maintain the integrity, security, and availability of backup data during the transition lifecycle.
• Department
  
  Collaboration:
  
  Work closely with infrastructure, server, network, and database teams to resolve complex deployment issues and production bugs.

  Demonstrated ability to accept high-level assignments, self-start, and execute complex technical migrations with limited supervision and guidance.
• Experience:
  
  3 to 5+ years of full-stack web application development experience, with a solid grasp of the full software development lifecycle.
• Legacy Proficiency:
  Applied programming skills in Classic ASP/.NET, VBScript, vanilla JavaScript, HTML, and IIS configuration.
• Modern Stack Expertise:
  Practical experience designing, creating, and administering database web applications using MySQL. Strong proficiencies in building interactive user interfaces with React.
• Database Foundations:
  Deep understanding of data modeling, database design, indexing strategies, and expert-level competency writing complex SQL queries.

• Communication:
  Strong interpersonal and communication skills to collaborate effectively with both novice business users and technical staff.

• Education:
  
  Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, MIS, Electrical Engineering, or Mathematics preferred (an Associate's degree or equivalent combination of education and experience will be considered).
• Legacy Data
  
  Skills:
  
  Experience with Microsoft SQL Server development (T-SQL), SQL-XML programming, SSIS, and SSRS.
• Utility Tools:
  Familiarity with data modeling tools (e.g., ERWin), file comparison utilities (e.g., Win Merge), or PHP.
• Infrastructure Awareness:
  Broad knowledge of Active Directory, basic network protocols (TCP/IP, VLANs), and server…
