Job Description

A government entity is looking for a Lead Application Developer to take the helm of that work: design it, build it, ship it, and bring a diverse technical team with you. This is hands-on leadership.

From specification to prototype to production, the build is yours to own — including eLearning solutions that train and support the people who use them.
