About this role

We are looking for a senior Full Stack Developer and Application Architect to design, build, and lead the evolution of cloud-hosted enterprise applications supporting FEMA's National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) modernization.

• Architect microservices and containerized application designs using Docker and Kubernetes (GKE).
• Define and govern application frameworks, coding standards, and development best practices across engineering teams.
• Oversee CI/CD pipeline design and integration using Harness, ensuring automated build, test, and deployment workflows are robust and FedRAMP-compliant.
• Lead design and integration of event-driven architectures using messaging platforms (Pub/Sub, Kafka, or equivalent).
• Collaborate with cloud architects, data engineers (BigQuery/Dataform), and DevSecOps teams to ensure application solutions integrate with the broader GCP platform.
• Support integration with identity and access management systems (Okta) and federal authentication requirements.
• Conduct code reviews, architectural design reviews, and mentor junior and mid-level developers.
• Ensure application security, FedRAMP/FISMA compliance, and alig...
