Junior Software Developer at McCalla… · Roswell

Job Summary

We’re looking for a curious, hands-on Junior Software Developer to help build and maintain line-of-business applications and APIs that support high-volume legal and operations workflows. You’ll contribute code across the stack (primarily .NET and SQL Server), learn our delivery processes (Azure DevOps, CI/CD), and collaborate with senior engineers and business stakeholders to ship reliable, secure features. This role is a strong fit for someone who has solid fundamentals and wants to grow quickly through mentorship and real production impact.

Why this role matters: Our apps and integrations underpin case processing, document workflows, and operational reporting across multiple practice areas. Reliability, data integrity, and performance are essential in our environment.

Key Responsibilities

1) Design & Development

• Implement features and fixes in C#/.NET (ASP.NET Core, MVC/Web API) with unit tests and clear documentation.
• Build and maintain RESTful APIs; contribute to UI enhancements using JavaScript/TypeScript, HTML, CSS (experience with jQuery/Bootstrap is helpful).
• Work within existing patterns (dependency injection, configuration, logging) and follow team coding standards.

2) Data & Integrations

• Write performant T-SQL (queries, views, stored procedures); profile and tune where needed.
• Consume and integrate third-party services (REST, webhooks, SDKs); handle retries, timeouts, and error contracts gracefully.
• Participate in simple ETL/automation tasks (SSIS or equivalent) under guidance, with attention to data quality and idempotency.

3) Quality, Security & Observability

• Contribute unit and integration tests (xUnit/NUnit), maintain test data, and improve coverage incrementally.
• Follow secure coding practices (input validation, parameterized SQL, secrets management, least privilege).
• Add useful telemetry (structured logs, metrics) and participate in incident review and remediation.

4) Delivery & Collaboration

• Use Azure DevOps (Repos, Boards, Pipelines) daily; participate in PRs, standups, and sprint ceremonies.
• Break down work into right-sized tasks, estimate reasonably, and communicate status early and often.
• Partner with analysts/PMs/QA to clarify requirements and acceptance criteria; update ADO boards to keep business comms accurate and current.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or related; or equivalent practical experience.
• 1–2 years of relevant work experience, including hands-on programming in C#/.NET and SQL Server.
• Understanding of HTTP/REST, object-oriented design, and web application architecture.
• Familiarity with source control (Git) and basic CI/CD concepts.
• Clear communicator with strong debugging/problem-solving skills and a growth mindset.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with Entity Framework Core, LINQ, and async/await patterns.
• Front-end familiarity (Bootstrap, jQuery; bonus: React/Blazor).
• Exposure to Azure services (App Service, Key Vault, Storage, ADF/Logic Apps) and Azure DevOps pipelines.
• Basic knowledge of SSRS/Power BI for operational reporting is a plus.
• Awareness of OWASP Top 10 and handling of PII in regulated environments.

Working Model & Time Zones

• This position will be onsite and core collaboration hours aligned to Eastern and Pacific time as needed.
• Occasional early/late collaboration with global team members may occur, with flexibility and notice.
