You’ll work closely with decision-makers and have the autonomy to recommend and implement new approaches while mentoring junior developers.

  • Optimize existing proprietary systems for performance, security, and scalability
  • Architect and implement integrations with external APIs and back-end systems
  • Collaborate with internal stakeholders to define requirements and deliver solutions
  • Maintain technical documentation and provide guidance on code structure and development best practices
  • Mentor junior developers and contribute to knowledge sharing within the team
  • Participate in strategic planning and modernization efforts for the company’s technology stack

What We Offer

  • Hybrid work environment: Work from home with periodic in-person collaboration
  • Leadership visibility: Direct communication with executive management
  • Autonomy and impact: A role where your ideas influence the company’s direction
  • Collaborative team culture: A tight-knit environment that values innovation and mutual support
  • Stability and growth: A long-standing, profitable firm offering consistent work and long-term potential

Ideal Candidate Profile

  • Experienced full-stack developer with strong ColdFusion expertise
  • Independent problem solver who thrives in a lean, fast-paced environment
  • Passionate about software quality, performance, and client satisfaction
  • Eager to contribute to legacy system modernization and team development
  •  
  • Equally adept at managing large-scale, long-term projects and handling smaller, detail-oriented tasks.
  •  

Requirements

  • 2+ years of professional ColdFusion development experience (Lucee or Adobe CF)
  • Proficient in HTML, JavaScript, CSS, and modern front-end practices
  • Proficient in Object Oriented Programming (OOP)
  • Proficient in Model/View/Controller (MVC) framework concepts
  • Strong experience with SQL (MySQL, SQL Server) and database best practices
  • Experience developing and maintaining proprietary or complex codebases
  • Familiarity with RESTful API integration and session management
  • Excellent communication skills, both verbal and written
  • Ability to prioritize, multitask, and manage deadlines independently

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience working with jQuery

  • Previous experience mentoring or leading small development teams
