 Build responsive, maintainable user interfaces using Vue.js, TypeScript, and

Tailwind CSS.

 Diagnose and resolve complex application, data, workflow, and production

issues.

 Apply strong telecommunications knowledge to translate operational

requirements into reliable software solutions.

 Use GitLab to manage source control, merge requests, issue workflows,

releases, and development documentation.

 Evaluate existing functionality before making changes to preserve backward

compatibility and operational stability.

 Participate actively in peer code reviews and provide clear, constructive technical

feedback.

 Help quality-assure peer development through functional testing, regression

testing, and validation of acceptance criteria.

 Collaborate with developers, quality assurance personnel, product owners,

operations teams, and telecommunications subject-matter experts.

 Use AI-assisted development tools responsibly to accelerate coding, debugging,

testing, documentation, and technical analysis.

 Create and maintain automated tests, technical documentation, implementation

notes, and support procedures.

 Contribute to application modernization, technical-debt reduction, performance

improvements, and architectural planning.

 Support production releases and assist with troubleshooting when operational

issues arise.

 Professional software development experience supporting production web

applications.

 Advanced knowledge of telecommunications systems, terminology, operational

processes, or network-service workflows.

 Strong experience with PHP and the Laravel framework.

 Experience developing modern frontend applications using Vue.js.

 Proficiency with TypeScript, JavaScript, HTML, and CSS.

 Experience using Tailwind CSS or a comparable utility-first CSS framework.

 Experience working with GitLab, including repositories, branches, merge

requests, code reviews, and issue management.

 Demonstrated ability to understand, maintain, and safely enhance a large,

mature, mission-critical application.

 Experience using AI-assisted software development tools in a professional

engineering workflow.

 Strong debugging, troubleshooting, and root-cause analysis skills.

 Experience reviewing code and testing or validating work produced by other

developers.

 Ability to balance modernization goals with reliability, maintainability, and

business continuity.

 Strong written and verbal communication skills.

 Ability to work collaboratively in a team environment while independently

managing assigned issues and deliverables.

 Availability to work primarily during Eastern or Central Time Zone business

hours.

Preferred Qualifications

 Experience with Kubernetes, container orchestration, Docker, or containerized

application deployment.

 Experience modernizing legacy applications or incrementally migrating mature

systems.

 Knowledge of CI/CD pipelines and automated deployment processes.

 Experience with RESTful APIs, relational databases, asynchronous processing,

caching, and application monitoring.

 Familiarity with test automation, including unit, integration, regression, and end-

to-end testing.

 Experience supporting high-availability operational tools or systems with strict

uptime requirements.

 Knowledge of secure software development practices and production

observability.

 Experience working in Agile, Scrum, Kanban, or issue-driven development

environments.

Success in This Role

A successful Software Developer in this position will:

 Become proficient in the platform’s architecture, business rules, and

telecommunications workflows.

 Deliver dependable enhancements without introducing operational instability.

 Improve code quality, testing coverage, documentation, and development

practices.

 Provide meaningful feedback through code reviews and peer validation.

 Use AI-assisted tools to improve productivity while independently verifying

generated code and recommendations.

 Build strong working relationships across engineering, quality assurance,

product, and operations teams.

 Help evolve a mature operational platform into a more maintainable, scalable,

and modern application.
