Lead Software Developer (Remote)

The Lead SoftwareDeveloper will work in a multi-project environment with projects that vary in size, scope and complexity. You will be responsible for interacting with internal Parsons project teams and/or the external end-user client team directly to identify scope, schedule and budget estimates, and then self-perform the work or lead a development team (that is shared across programs and projects) to accomplish the work. You will provide technical direction to development staff, provide work estimates, and ensure that project milestones are delivered as scheduled within an Agile software development shop.

You will lead the software development team as a key contributor to software development for projects within the Parsons Asset Management Technology Group (AMT) related Infrastructure Asset Management, Operations & Maintenance and Verification activities . You will have the opportunity to p rovide leadership on trends in web and mobile application technologies, development of best practices and will ensure that all delivered software meets documented standards for security, quality and performance metrics.

Your development efforts will include object-oriented code primarily for Microsoft’s .Net framework. The primary development language is C#, with occasional development in other languages. Application development will include Microsoft Windows/WPF application components, web components under the Model-View-Controller framework, and database components (stored procedures, triggers, and object scripts). You will create layered code which cleanly separates database access, business logic, user interface, and respond to cybersecurity issues identified by third-party applications (e.g. HP Fortify). Web development will include significant coding in Javascript and jQuery, as well as third party UI controls. You will also write clean HTML and CSS code for user-facing web pages including responsive (mobile) designs. Database code will be written for both Oracle and SQL Server databases.

You will work with both office and remote developers and Parsons management using collaboration tools such as videoconferencing. You will work with others on a common code base managed from a central software file management system. You will provide training and guidance to broader development staff.

You will be assigned to the Parsons’ Tysons Corners, VA office, but may work from a more Parsons office convenient location, or telework from home, upon request.
