Full Stack Developer

(Full-Time / Salary: $90,000 plus benefits)

United University Professions (UUP) is the largest higher education union in the United States with more than 35,000 academics and professionals at the State University of New York’s state-operated campuses, and public teaching hospitals and health sciences centers.

UUP is looking for a motivated individual to work full-time in a member-focused environment as a Full Stack Developer. Collaborating directly with a team of developers and project managers, this on-site position will be responsible for continuing development of a custom database driven web application. This module-based system has been in process for approximately 18 months, and the selected candidate will need to continue working in the existing environment.

Similar web-based projects will be assigned with the goal of unifying additional stand-alone systems. Must have a team-first attitude with a willingness to explore innovative ideas and be flexible with ever-changing projects and requirements. The preferred candidate will have the following abilities:

• Experience with relational databases.
• Proficient in modern programming languages and frameworks, including React, Java Script/Type Script, Node.js, and Tailwind CSS.
• Preferred experience in Golang although strong Java or Python experience is equally valuable.
• Project based experience from design to implementation.
• Ability to articulate and document all code and queries used.
• Robust system design skills to build with flexibility, room for growth, and integration with existing data structures.
• Critical thinking to interpret requests versus data requirements and provide problem solving solutions.
• Strong verbal and communication skills
• Experience with Docker, Kubernetes, and Azure for containerization, orchestration, and cloud deployment.

Bachelor’s degree in computer science, computer programming, or another relevant field is required. Experience is necessary as the project complexity and timeline requires the preferred candidate to begin code development immediately after learning the business and system rules. Candidates will be required to provide working example(s) of relevant data projects and/or references of previous work to demonstrate competency. Starting salary of $90,000 (non-negotiable), with an excellent benefit package.

Interested candidates need to submit a resume and cover letter to Doreen Bango, Director of Member Benefits (dbango@uupbenefits.org).  UUP does not discriminate based on race, ethnicity, color, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, or age.
