About the role

Job DescriptionJob DescriptionJob Summary We are looking for a hands-on Web Developer who can work effectively in ColdFusion today while helping us move toward an open source web stack over time. This is not a role for someone who wants to stay in one narrow lane forever. It is a good fit for a developer who likes to explore, learn, build, and modernize. Our current environment includes ColdFusion, SQL Server, and a mix of supporting technologies, but the direction is toward open source tools, modern REST-backed applications, and static web assets. We want someone who can be productive in the current environment without being frustrated by change, and who is energized by the chance to help shape what comes next.
What You'll Do:
  • Maintain, troubleshoot, and improve existing ColdFusion applications
  • Build new functionality using a more modern approach, centered on REST APIs, static front-end assets, and open source technologies
  • Write and maintain SQL Server queries and application-side data logic as part of day-to-day development
  • Help modernize existing systems in practical, incremental ways
  • Participate in technical exploration, prototyping, and solution design
  • Work in a team with a wide variety of technical backgrounds, interests, and specialties
  • Help choose, test, and stand up the tools and environments needed to move development forward
  • Add jQuery after Javascript.
What We're Looking For:
  • RequiredExperience building or maintaining web applications in ColdFusionStrong working knowledge of SQL, especially in a SQL Server environment
  • Experience with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, jQuery, and web application fundamentals
  • Familiarity with REST APIsAbility to work independently and solve technical problems directly
  • Curiosity, initiative, and a willingness to learn new tools and approaches
  • PreferredExperience moving applications away from commercial or legacy platforms toward open source solutions
  • Experience setting up your own development environments, servers, containers, labs, or test systems
  • Interest in infrastructure, deployment, or full-stack troubleshooting
  • Experience with static web architectures, API-driven applications, or modern lightweight web stacks
  • Comfort evaluating new tools and learning by building
  • Who Will Do Well HereThis role is ideal for a developer who:
  • Can handle ColdFusion now, but does not need it to be their forever future
  • Enjoys learning by doing
  • Likes to build their own server, test ideas, and figure things out
  • Gets excited by new tools, new platforms, and the freedom to explore
  • Wants to work in an environment with a wide range of technical disciplines, both human and machine
  • Appreciates having access to the equipment, tools, knowledge, and technology needed to do the job well
  • Why This Role Is Different
  • We support developers who like to build.
You will be in an environment where experimentation, learning, and technical curiosity are valued. We invest in good tools, useful hardware, and the technology developers actually need to succeed. If you like having interesting work, interesting systems, and nice work toys, you will probably like it here. This is a chance to make an immediate contribution in an existing stack while helping shape its next chapter.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
