What You'll Be Doing

Work at Darkhorse Emergency is diverse and ever-changing. We implement our proprietary software and solve interesting and challenging business problems for a wide variety of fire and emergency clients.

As a junior developer, you'll work with our team of developers and designers to build and maintain our application suite, and support our team of analysts as they implement our software and work to solve our clients' unique problems. You'll play a major role in every part of the development lifecycle. Although work will likely be reviewed by a senior developer for a while, we expect junior developers who are in the role for over a year to complete the first cut of all work independently, and have minimum errors or rework required

Job Responsibilities

• With guidance from senior staff, work with designers and analysts to build data visualizations that strike the balance between clarity and engagement.
• With support, build features from start to finish including database, API server, front end web page, etc.
• Support our team to turn one-off analyses from consulting engagements into new rock-solid features that our users use every day.
• Develop minor features within the existing architecture.
• Work with senior staff to diagnose root causes in client implementations to fix bugs, data errors, misconfigurations and other issue to create new edge cases and customizations.
• Use AI tools to write high-quality code that supports the long-term stability and maintainability of our software.
• Ensure that every buildout and iteration is held to a high standard, with short-term compromises applied judiciously and sparingly.
• Help to improve our development processes from low level details such as how we use Git, write unit tests, etc. to the way we run meetings or make long-term plans.
• Research new technologies evaluating between using bleeding-edge, innovative technology and a more stable, reliable, and boring alternatives, as directed.
