Software Developer

Opportunity Overview

Northramp is seeking a skilled Software Developer to support a suite of ASP.NET MVC web applications serving federal clients. You will work across the full stack — building features, maintaining existing functionality, and contributing to ongoing platform modernization efforts. This role sits within Northramp's Federal Practice and offers direct engagement with agency stakeholders throughout the development lifecycle.

We value developers who write clean, well-tested code and bring intellectual curiosity to complex problems. Familiarity with every technology listed below is not required — what matters most is a track record of learning quickly, delivering reliably, and caring about quality.

The Ideal Candidate

You embrace SOLID Object-Oriented design principles, vertical slice architecture, and Test-Driven Development. You are comfortable engaging directly with federal clients to gather requirements, provide demos, and offer support — and you can translate technical concepts clearly for non-technical stakeholders. You take ownership of your work, hold a high bar for quality, and thrive in a collaborative, client-facing consulting environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and maintain ASP.NET MVC and ASP.NET Core web applications supporting federal programs.

• Engage directly with federal clients to gather requirements, deliver demos, and provide ongoing technical support.

• Implement features and integrations using vertical slice architecture and TDD practices.

• Contribute to the migration of legacy .NET Framework applications to modern .NET.

• Configure and support CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions and Azure DevOps tooling.

• Participate in code reviews, uphold engineering standards, and mentor peers.

• Work with database systems (SQL Server / T-SQL) including schema changes and migration tooling.

• Support front-end development efforts, including Blazor migration work.
