.Net Software Developer

Intermediate Software Developer

The Intermediate Software Developer is required to work on a number of initiatives across the various business areas supported by the branch.

The SHSM program requires annual sustainment through reoccurring digital solutions maintenance and enhancements, as well as continuous support through software development, project and requirement management, and software testing. This IT support for the SHSM program officially began in 2011 and has been continued since. Ongoing and significant investments have been made in the delivery of the digital solution for the SHSM program.

This disruption will introduce significant delays in reporting and hinder effective and timely decision making. This role will also support other SAD initiatives including Dual Credits and Math Achievement Action Plan (MAAP).

The successful candidate will work directly with the business to understand and define their requirements and processes, as well as understanding their future data needs. They will also work with various technology teams to translate business needs and work through the analysis and development phases.
