Full Stack Developers

Onsite Interview Detail: During the 2nd round, candidates will be required to physically write a SQL query live. Location & Setup Mandates

Dual-location capability is available, but McLean, VA is highly preferred.

McLean, VA: Fully Onsite.
Plano, TX: Hybrid (1 2 days a week in-office).
Crucial Extension Requirement: If this contract extends into the following year, the candidate must be willing and able to transition to 5 days a week fully onsite (this applies to the Texas hybrid team as well). Do not submit candidates who cannot commit to this.

Candidate Profile & Soft Skills

Experience Level: Seasoned, hands-on "in the weeds" developer reporting directly to a Tech Lead. Junior profiles or high-level architects/lead coordinators are not a fit.
Communication: Strong, assertive communication is non-negotiable. The manager explicitly requires vocal, collaborative developers who actively participate on team calls.
Testing Ownership: There is no dedicated QA team. Developers wear multiple hats and must own their testing end-to-end.

Technical Stack & Responsibilities

Frontend (30%): Angular version 8 or higher. Strictly no React developers; they require dedicated Angular expertise.
Backend (70%): Strong Java/Spring Boot experience building features for a core payment system.
Database: MS SQL Server environment. Candidates must be highly comfortable writing complex SQL queries.
Security: A security-first mindset is highly critical. Must have hands-on experience handling PII and setting up proper logging.
Testing: Fitnesse is highly integrated into their lifecycle. Candidates must write acceptance test scripts alongside standard Java JUnit/Mockito tests. (If they lack Fitnesse, they must have strong experience in a similar tool and the ability to learn rapidly).
GenAI Tooling: Must intimately know how to safely leverage GenAI tools (GitHub CoPilot, Claude, Amazon Q, Kiro) to spot and prevent code security flaws and write secure code faster. (Note: They are not building AI features, just utilizing the tools).
Nice-to-Haves: IBM MQ, IBM Connect:Direct (file-based protocol), background in capital markets/payments, and prior Freddie Mac/Fannie Mae experience.
