Application Developer
DataStaff, Inc is seeking an Application Developer for a long-term contract opportunity with one of our direct clients located in Oklahoma City, OK
* The role is remote; however, in-person attendance may be required for some on-site meetings.
Job Description:
Our client is undertaking a comprehensive, multiyear modernization initiative to replace aging legacy systems—including full retirement of the ALICE platform—and transition to a unified, cloud native environment. This effort centers on building MyPAS 3.0, a modern Azure-hosted pension administration system that integrates seamlessly with MyTRS and MyERS.
The modernization responds to long standing challenges such as fragmented workflows, manual processes, limited scalability, and stability issues in legacy technologies. The initiative introduces a modern stack—Angular, REST APIs, Azure SQL Managed Instances, Azure Function Apps, Power BI, a document management and process automation solution (pending platform evaluation and alternatives)—to support scalable, secure, and efficient operations.
Requirements:
- Knowledge of modern application development frameworks, programming languages, and secure coding practices
- Knowledge of software development lifecycle (SDLC) methodologies, including Agile
- Knowledge of business process analysis, functional design principles, documentation standards, user story development, and acceptance criteria definition
- Knowledge of TRS business rules, including those specific to the Pension Software System
- Familiarity with legacy systems architecture, dependencies, technologies, and integration points
- Skill in performing all aspects of application development, including coding, unit testing, documentation, code reviews, and submitting pull requests for TRS staff to review
- Skill in developing, enhancing, and maintaining application components that meet functional and technical requirements
- Skill in developing clear, actionable user stories and maintaining a prioritized backlog
- Skill in developing APIs, system interfaces, and automation workflows
- Ability to deliver high-quality work output with minimal defects
- Ability to translate technical specifications into maintainable, production-ready software
- Ability to collaborate effectively with TRS technical staff, analysts, testers, and project managers
- Ability to manage multiple development tasks and meet established timelines
- Ability to communicate complex concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences
