Deliver simple solutions to complex problems as a Front End Software Developer at GDIT. Here, you’ll tailor cutting-edge solutions to the unique requirements of our clients. With a career in development, you’ll make the end user’s experience your priority and we’ll make your career growth ours. We are seeking a Front-End Software Developer with extensive experience related to front-end software development and who is capable of not only delivering a capability in that form but can also pass their knowledge on to others.

Lean Agile is the development process used on the team so familiarity with that methodology is key. The ability to seamlessly connect the front end of the application to the data tier via the microservices and middleware components is expected. Responsibility for development of unit tests and the automated execution of those tests as well as participation in end-to-end testing is required.

- Use GIT for version control; manage codebases and branching strategies.
