Role Description

The Full Stack Developer is a hands-on technical role responsible for designing, developing, integrating, testing, deploying, and supporting modern, browser-based applications and technology solutions. Working primarily within a Microsoft Azure environment, this role develops solutions across the full technology stack, including user interfaces, APIs, application services, databases, cloud infrastructure, system integrations, and emerging AI-enabled capabilities.

The Full Stack Developer partners with internal stakeholders and customers to understand business needs, translate requirements into technical solutions, and independently move development work from concept through implementation. This role requires a developer who can work from business needs rather than relying solely on highly detailed technical specifications, ask effective questions, contribute ideas, develop prototypes or wireframes, and recommend practical solutions. This role will work collaboratively within an Agile development environment and requires both strong technical capabilities and the ability to communicate effectively with technical and non-technical stakeholders.
