About the Role

We are seeking a versatile Applications Developer to join our Data and Information Systems Branch (DIS) team supporting the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) / National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS).

In this role, you will help design, build, and maintain mission-critical web applications, APIs, real-time data integration systems, and vendor portals supporting regional marine fisheries monitoring initiatives (including Observer and Electronic Monitoring programs).

• Third-Party Vendor Portal: Build and maintain a secure portal for external service providers to submit EM results and receive automated performance feedback evaluated against curated validation datasets.
• Real-Time Data Automation: Implement automated, real-time listeners for the EM Federal Records API. Build functionality into the FM Portal that notifies providers when a trip becomes a federal record and updates status pages upon successful receipt.
• Feature Development: Update internal tools (such as OTES) to introduce new workflows, including Temporary Field Worker (TFW) functionality.
• Full Lifecycle Software Engineering: Design, test, debug, and maintain web/desktop applications, APIs, and databases in accordance with NOAA/NMFS security standards and IT governance.
• Agile Collaboration: Actively participate in daily Scrums, bi-weekly Sprint planning/reviews, and maintain daily code commits to NMFS GitHub repositories.
• Documentation & Operations: Write clean, well-documented code, create end-user/technical SOPs, and assist with application troubleshooting, performance tuning, and system maintenance.

Qualifications & Requirements

• Education & Experience: 4+ years of professional application development experience. A Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related STEM field is highly desired.
• Agile Experience: Demonstrated experience working in Agile/Scrum development environments.
• Technical Skills:
  • Strong foundation in API design, RESTful web services, and database integration (SQL, PL/SQL, Oracle/PostgreSQL).
  • Proficiency with front-end and back-end web tech stack (e.g., JavaScript, PHP, Python, React/Vue, HTML/CSS, or .NET/Java).
  • Experience building automated background tasks/listeners and secure web application portals.
  • Version control mastery using Git and GitHub.
• Soft Skills: Excellent written and verbal communication skills, strong problem-solving capabilities, and a track record of success working within dispersed, cross-functional teams.
