Junior Developer

What you’ll do

• Build and maintain backend services using Node.js (API endpoints, integrations, business logic)
• Develop and enhance front-end features using Vue.js (forms, validation, API-driven views, reusable components)
• Maintain and extend an existing Adobe Cold Fusion (CFML) application while gradually refactoring portions of the UI and workflows into a modern Vue.js‑based front end
• Assist with breaking down legacy Cold Fusion pages into reusable API endpoints and front‑end components, with guidance from senior engineers
• Implement small‑to‑medium features from defined requirements, coordinating changes across UI, APIs, and backend systems
• Troubleshoot production issues (application errors, UI bugs, unexpected behavior) and assist with root‑cause analysis
• Work with HTTP APIs, JSON payloads, authentication/session patterns, and data flows between services
• Participate in code reviews, documentation, and team delivery practices (Jira tickets, Git feature‑branching, testing, release notes)
• Collaborate with Infrastructure/Dev Ops on deployments, configuration changes, logging/monitoring, and environment stability
• Help improve code quality over time through refactoring, reducing recurring issues, and improving maintainability

• 0–2 years of professional experience (or strong internship/project experience)
• Hands‑on experience with Node.js (personal, academic, or professional projects)
• Solid understanding of web development fundamentals (HTTP, REST APIs, JSON, forms, sessions, basic security concepts)
• Experience working with at least one server‑side language (Node.js preferred; CFML, C#, Java, PHP also acceptable)
• Comfort reasoning about data flows between applications and databases (no deep SQL expertise required)
• Familiarity with Git and Git CLI
• Methodical approach to debugging and problem‑solving
• Clear communication skills and willingness to ask questions and collaborate

• Interest in legacy system modernization or refactoring projects
• Deeper Node.js experience (Express or similar frameworks, middleware, async patterns)
• Vue.js experience beyond basics (component patterns, compo sables, routing, basic state management)
• Exposure to relational databases and SQL (SQL Server or similar)
• Hands‑on exposure to Cold Fusion/CFML
• Experience building/managing Docker containers, and using Docker Compose
• Experience with Nginx, Postgre
  
  SQL, Linux and other open‑source software
• Experience with AWS (specifically RDS, Elastic Beanstalk, EC2, and S3)
• Familiarity with Windows‑hosted web apps (IIS) or similar production environments
• Exposure to monitoring/logging tools (e.g., Splunk, APM tools like Fusion Reactor)
• Awareness of secure coding practices (input validation, OWASP concepts, authentication patterns)
• Experience working in a ticket‑based or Kanban‑style workflow (e.g., Jira)

• Node.js (primary backend development)
• Vue.js (primary front‑end UI)
• Adobe Cold Fusion (CFML) — legacy system undergoing incremental modernization
• Relational database (Microsoft SQL Server, and some Postgre
  
  SQL; not a primary focus)
• Windows‑based hosting environments (IIS/Windows Server where applicable)
• Monitoring/logging (e.g., Splunk; APM such as Fusion Reactor)
• Jira/Confluence (or equivalent) for task tracking and documentation

• You can set up your local/dev environment and ship small features or fixes in Node.js and Vue.js
• You can contribute to refactoring or replacing small legacy Cold Fusion UI pieces with Vue components, with guidance
• You can troubleshoot common defects and document what you learn
• Your PRs are clear, reviewed, and increasingly independent
• You’re comfortable navigating the Node, Vue, and CFML codebases
• You contribute to stability improvements and incremental modernization work
• Competitive salary based on experience
• Health benefits, PTO, and paid holidays
• Mentorship and structured growth path
• Training support (courses/certs) relevant to the stack
