Special Instructions to Applicant :

This is a larger project requiring the development of multiple modules comprising an integrated system. Modules are currently in different states of development (i.e. completed, in progress, not yet started). We have a clear idea of the remaining development we would like to achieve. We will provide general specifications and / or mock-ups before starting development of each new module, but we do not currently have written specifications for the complete project scope. After discussing a new module’s specifications and requirements, then development begins. The freelancer will be expected to provide daily or weekly status updates and the project manager (PM) will be available to answer questions to guide the design. The developer will work as a collaborative team with one other full-stack developer on this complex project. Both developers and the PM will work together on the project and meet virtually using a screenshare 1-3 times per week. Prior development has usually utilized sprint planning to define the next 1-2 weeks of development priorities. This is followed by testing new development at frequent intervals during daily or weekly meetings, and the PM providing guidance on minor modifications to improve the user experience. One role of this position will be assisting to upgrade this older system using the latest technology tools to ensure business continuity for critical operations and data management for the next several years. The PM is a subject-matter expert that defines system requirements and provides design guidance but is not an IT professional. The PM also performs testing of new functionality. The PM has experience managing three different full-stack lead developers for this project over the last 7 years. Other non-IT subject-matter experts will be consulted when necessary to define system specifications more clearly for modules they utilize.
