Department: Information Technology

Salary Grade Range: $96,985 - $117,470

Status: This is a full-time; salaried position.

Hours: Monday – Friday: 8:00am – 5:00pm.

JOB SUMMARY: We are looking for a highly experienced Lead Full Stack Developer to take ownership of a custom suite of in-house software. This is a key technical leadership position for an accomplished technologist who thrives on solving complex problems and guiding teams. You will lead a small, focused team of developers and a QA specialist, driving development across the full Microsoft stack and modern web technologies. This role is on-site in Cold Spring, MN, and requires a balance of hands-on coding, architectural oversight, and technical mentorship.

WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING:

· Technical Leadership: Serve as the technical authority and primary hands-on developer, setting a high standard for code quality and ensuring the team’s output aligns with architectural best practices.

· Mentorship & Code Quality: Lead code reviews and provide day-to-day mentorship to junior and mid-level developers, fostering their technical growth and ensuring the delivery of maintainable, high-quality code.

· Front-End Development: Lead the design and implementation of responsive user interfaces using Angular, TypeScript, JavaScript, and HTML.

· Back-End Development: Navigate and develop complex server-side logic in C#, including API endpoints and traditional MVC controllers attached to views. Develop and maintain the C# Business Logic Layer (BLL) and the Data Access Layer (DAL), utilizing Entity Framework as the ORM.

· Database Management: Expertly manage and optimize data interactions within our Microsoft TSQL environment across various SQL databases.

· Feature Integration: Collaborate on and contribute to the development of application features that include graphical aspects, utilizing web technologies such as Canvas.

· Systems Integration: Develop and maintain C# middleware and backend services responsible for integrating application data with our ERP system and JD Edwards.

· Architecture & Standards: Define the technical vision and enforce development best practices across the team.

· Workflow Management: Lead the team's Agile (Scrum-ban) process, driving ticket tracking using Jira, facilitating planning, and removing technical blockers to ensure smooth workflow.

· Cross-Functional Collaboration: Serve as the key technical liaison within a larger cross-functional group, including the Product Owner and Marketing team, translating business needs into technical requirements.

EXPERIENCE:

· Minimum 10+ years of professional software development experience.

· Minimum 5+ years of experience in a technical leadership capacity (e.g., Senior or Lead Developer), with a proven track record of mentoring developers, reviewing code, and leading technical projects.

· Note: Exceptional candidates with 8+ years of total development experience and proven informal leadership are encouraged to apply.

SKILLS & KNOWLEDGE:

· Core Programming (C# / OOP): Strong proficiency in C# is preferred, but we welcome applicants with deep expertise in equivalent Object-Oriented languages (e.g., Java, C++). If you understand strong typing, inheritance, and design patterns, we trust you can learn our stack.

· Frontend Frameworks (Angular): Experience with Angular is a plus, but we value proficiency in any modern component-based JavaScript framework (e.g., React, Vue, Svelte). We are looking for developers who understand state management, component lifecycles, and responsive design, regardless of the specific library.

· ERP & Business Systems (JDE): Exposure to any Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system or complex business logic is a plus but not requirement. Job requires minimal interaction with ERP.

· Database Design & SQL: Proficiency in relational database design and SQL development is required. You must be capable of designing efficient schemas, writing complex queries, and utilizing ORM tools to build performant data-driven applications.

· Problem Solving: A track record of writing clean, maintainable, and testable code. We value engineering fundamentals and the ability to adapt to new tools over rote memorization of specific syntax.
