IBSS is seeking an Application Developer to support the NOAA Fisheries Greater Atlantic Regional Fisheries Office (GARFO) in Gloucester, Massachusetts, building and maintaining the software systems that enable federal fisheries management across the Greater Atlantic region.

Working as an embedded member of GARFO's Software and Database Development Branch under an agile/SCRUM model, the Application Developer will design, code, test, deploy, and maintain web front-end, mobile, and Oracle back-end applications that support permit issuance, sector and Individual Fishing Quota (IFQ) management, electronic Vessel Trip Reporting (eVTR), dealer reporting, protected resource tracking, and derived data products used by the commercial fishing industry, fishery management councils, state marine fisheries staff, and NOAA scientists.

This position is contingent upon contract award.

• Design, develop, test, deploy, maintain, and document software tools for fisheries management at GARFO, using web front-end, mobile application, and Oracle back-end technologies (primarily PL/SQL).
• Build and enhance applications supporting fishery management plans, allocation management, permit issuance and tracking, sector and IFQ management, electronic and paper vessel trip reporting, dealer reporting, protected resource data management, and derived data products.
• Write, optimize, and refactor PL/SQL stored procedures, packages, triggers, and views against Oracle Enterprise Database 19C and above, in both on-premise and AWS cloud-based environments.
• Develop responsive front-end interfaces using React (version 18+), HTML5, JavaScript, jQuery, AJAX, and the U.S. Web Design System (USWDS).
• Develop and integrate Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) APIs that expose secure endpoints to GARFO-approved third-party mobile reporting applications such as SAFIS eTRIPS/mobile and VESL.
• Implement and maintain server-side components in Oracle Weblogic Server 12C, Apache HTTP Server, PHP (version 8+), Python, and BASH shell scripts.
• Build internal administrative dashboards and rapid-development utilities in Oracle APEX.
• Manage source code, branches, pull requests, and merges in Git, adhering to GARFO documented best-practice standards for code development, database design, and version control.
• Author and maintain technical documentation, system documentation, and Git artifacts in JIRA and Confluence so other developers can troubleshoot or extend the code.
• Coordinate testing and User Acceptance Testing (UAT) with end users, including marine biologists, permit staff, and commercial fishing industry representatives.
• Provide go-live support and research, diagnose, and resolve production defects responsively after deployment.

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Systems, or a related technical field.
• Minimum of five (5) years of professional full-stack software development experience.
• Demonstrated production experience with Oracle PL/SQL development against Oracle Enterprise Database 19C or higher.
• Demonstrated production experience building front-end applications in React (version 18+) with HTML5, JavaScript, and jQuery.
• Hands‑on experience with at least one back‑end language beyond PL/SQL (PHP 8+ or Python).
• Working experience with Oracle APEX, SQL Developer, and/or PL/SQL Developer.
• Working experience with Git for source control in a collaborative team environment.
• Experience working in an agile/SCRUM software development lifecycle with JIRA and Confluence.
