This role works with onshore and offshore developers and partners closely with Product, Architecture, Security, and Cloud Operations to translate business needs into high-quality software, including helping strengthen testing practices as the team matures. As a member of an AI-first engineering team, the Portal Engineer is expected to use AI technologies and tools (e.g., coding assistants, automated code review insights, test generation, and documentation assistants) to accelerate delivery while maintaining strong engineering rigor.

The Portal Engineer contributes across the SDLC — including design, implementation, code review, automated testing integrated into CI/CD pipelines, and production support — to deliver reliable portal experiences.

• Design and develop web portal applications using C# and .NET 8+ (APIs, services, integrations) and Angular/React (UI, state management, component design).
• Contribute technical recommendations and implementation approaches in partnership with senior engineers and Architecture; document technical decisions and implementation considerations.
• Translate product requirements into user stories, technical designs, and implementation plans; estimate work and manage technical dependencies and risks.
• Operate AI-first: leverage AI technologies/tools to expedite development (e.g., rapid prototyping, code generation, refactoring suggestions, test generation), while validating correctness, security, and maintainability.
• Support consistent and secure use of AI-assisted development tools and workflows by sharing effective practices and helping entry-level developers build proficiency.
• Maintain code quality by following software engineering standards for branching, code reviews, definition of done, and documentation, and by promoting maintainable, testable designs.
• Build and maintain automated tests (unit, integration, and end-to-end) aligned to acceptance criteria and the test strategy established with the Test Strategist, and ensure accessibility requirements (WCAG 2.2 Level AA) are validated as part of delivery.
• Contribute to modernization and continuous improvement through refactoring, performance optimization, and reduction of technical debt in collaboration with senior engineers and Architecture.
• Partner with the Director to surface technical dependencies, risks, and sequencing considerations that inform the portal roadmap, ensuring modernization and technical debt work are represented alongside feature delivery.

• Deliver portal changes hosted in Azure, ensuring features are built, reviewed, tested, and deployed through Git Hub-based source control and CI/CD pipelines.
• Integrate automated testing into the CI/CD pipelines (unit testing, integration, and end-to-end), helping build out testing practices and tooling to ensure reliable gating, actionable reporting, and continuous quality feedback.
• Partner with Cloud Operations to maintain observability through Datadog, improve logging/telemetry, and define actionable alerts and service level objectives (SLOs).
• Participate in technical triage of production issues by diagnosing root causes, implementing fixes, communicating status, and recommending preventive improvements.
• Ensure secure and compliant implementation of…
