About the position

The Applic Developer Analyst I position at the University of Florida is designed for individuals who thrive in a collaborative environment and are eager to contribute to the evolution of the department's software systems. The incumbent will work closely with the development team under direct supervision, participating actively in requirements gathering meetings with customers and sprint planning sessions to ensure that all requirements are programmable and feasible within the development cycle. This role emphasizes teamwork, as developers will engage in code reviews, provide and receive constructive feedback, and share knowledge gained throughout the development process. The primary responsibilities include developing new software code for a modern ReactJS and ASP.NET API web-based application, which integrates into a Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipeline for rapid deployment. The developer will also be tasked with reading and interpreting requirements from Jira epics and user stories, translating them into functional software components. Additionally, the role involves maintaining legacy code in an ASP.NET Web Forms application and addressing help desk tickets from university stakeholders, which includes fixing bugs and implementing improvements to existing systems. Participation in Agile Scrum ceremonies is a key aspect of this position, including backlog grooming and sprint retrospectives. The developer will attend sprint planning meetings to refine user stories and ensure they are programmable within the two-week sprint cycle. The role also includes managing two iOS mobile applications built in XCode and writing documentation in software wikis that provide overviews of system functionality, tools needed, and build instructions. This position offers a unique opportunity to work on both new and legacy systems while collaborating with a diverse team of professionals.
