• →Develop JavaScript functionality to support user interactions and application workflows
• →Collaborate with team members to translate business requirements into technical solutions
• →Assist with document generation and PDF output functionality
• →Participate in testing, troubleshooting, and continuous improvement efforts

• Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities
• Attention to detail and data accuracy
• Ability to work through ambiguity and ask thoughtful questions
• Self-motivation and willingness to learn new technologies
• Strong communication and documentation skills
• Ability to work independently while collaborating effectively with a team

• Experience building web forms with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript
• Experience implementing form validation and conditional logic
• Working knowledge of relational databases and SQL

• Familiarity with Git, including branching, pull requests, and code reviews
• Exposure to Python development
• Experience working with Docker or containerized applications
• Experience generating documents or PDF-based outputs from application data

• Contribute to a meaningful modernization effort with statewide impact
• Gain experience on a greenfield application from development through deployment
• Work on real-world business processes and complex form-driven workflows
• Expand your skills across front-end development, databases, and application architecture
• Opportunity for early-career developers to gain significant hands-on experience and project ownership
