• Identify and recommend enhancements that improve navigation, usability, and application operation.
• Work collaboratively with the Data Modeler, other developers, VA technical personnel, and HSR/ORD stakeholders.
• Respond promptly to production issues, alerts, and quick-turn technical requests.
• Develop and maintain application and technical documentation.
• Explain technical issues and recommended solutions to non-technical stakeholders.
• Support ad hoc projects and special technical requirements as requested.

Minimum Qualifications

• Demonstrated web application development and maintenance experience.
• Experience integrating web applications with relational databases.
• Experience developing SQL queries and stored procedures.
• Experience testing, debugging, troubleshooting, and maintaining production applications.
• Understanding of secure web-development practices, including cross-site scripting prevention and remediation.

• JavaScript.
• HTML5.
• CSS.
• XML.
• SQL.
• AJAX.
• ColdFusion Server administration.
