    Keeping Washington Clean and Evergreen Build the future of software at Ecology — not just the next feature. Ecology is at the start of a multi-year modernization effort, and we’re being blunt about it: our systems are outdated, complex, and overdue for reinvention. We’re moving toward modular, cloud-native, API-first architectures, and we need developers who don’t just tolerate change — they drive it. This isn’t a role where you inherit polished systems. You’ll help dismantle monoliths, design clean microservices, and set the engineering standards that will guide an entire agency for years. If you’re energized by modernization, experimentation, and building golden paths where none exist yet, you’ll feel right at home. We’re looking for two journey-level developers who care about clean architecture, thrive in Agile teams, and see modern tooling—including AI-assisted development—as a way to work smarter, not riskier. You’ll collaborate with product, architecture, security, and platform engineering partners to design secure, accessible, scalable applications that replace decades of legacy complexity. If “we’ve always done it this way” makes your eyebrow twitch, then we’re the team for you! The Department of Ecology is hiring two  IT  Application Development - Journey  positions   within the  Information Technology Services Office (ITSO).   Location: Headquarters Office in  Lacey, WA . Upon hire, you must live within a commutable distance from the duty station.   Schedule: The positions are eligible for telework and flexible schedule options. You may telework most of your work time with occasional in-person meetings and activities. Schedules are dependent upon position needs and are subject to change.   Application Timeline:  Apply by December 17, 2025 The positions will remain open until filled. The agency reserves the right to make a hire at any time after application review begins. Applications received after the date above may not be considered.   Duties Do you thrive in an Agile environment where experimentation, rapid iteration, and continuous improvement are the norm? Are you excited to use modern AI tools—from code generation to automated testing—to boost your productivity and enhance code quality? With a growth mindset and a willingness to learn, you can help shape reusable patterns, strengthen team practices, and advance Ecology’s long-term digital transformation. This is a role where you don’t just write code—you influence the future of how the agency builds software. In this role, you will step into a journey-level application developer position at the forefront of Ecology’s digital modernization efforts. Each day, you will design, build, and refine cloud-native applications using MACH principles—microservices, API-first design, cloud-native patterns, and headless architecture. You will collaborate closely with product owners, testers, analysts, and fellow developers to deliver secure, scalable, and accessible solutions. What you will do: Modernize and Modularize Our Application Landscape Analyze long-standing monolithic systems and help carve them into well-defined services. Build microservices, adapters, and integration layers that peel functionality from legacy environments without breaking existing operations. Apply MACH principles — microservices, API-first, cloud-native, headless — to drive consistency and long-term sustainability. Design Clean, Scalable, Cloud-Native Applications Build and document RESTful APIs and modern service interfaces. Collaborate with architects to shape reference designs, reusable patterns, and organization-wide engineering standards. Design systems that scale, adapt, and evolve rather than accumulate more complexity. Establish the Playbook for Modern Development at Ecology Create templates, shared libraries, and golden-path documentation that accelerate future development. Influence CI/CD patterns, DevSecOps practices, and platform engineering norms. Help define how new services are built, deployed, tested, and secured. Use AI-Assisted Tools Responsibly and Effectively Leverage AI tools for boilerplate, test generation, and safe refactoring. Validate AI-generated code for accuracy, security, and maintainability — no blind trust, no shortcuts. Share best practices with teammates adopting new AI workflows. Build Quality and Security Into Everything Write robust unit, integration, and contract tests that support automated pipelines. Contribute to build-and-deploy workflows, test automation, security scanning, and secrets management. Apply secure coding practices, meet state/federal compliance requirements, and build accessible interfaces that follow WCAG 2.1 AA. Collaborate, Mentor, and Continuously Improve Work in an Agile product team that iterates quickly and learns from experimentation. Mentor peers transitioning to modern frameworks and architectural patterns. Communicate clearly across technical and non-technical partners to drive shared understanding and progress.   Qualifications   For detailed information on how we calculate experience, please visit our  Recruitment website .   Required Qualifications: Four years of experience and/or education as described below: Experience in computer application development and maintenance.
