We’re moving toward modular, cloud-native, API-first architectures, and we need developers who don’t just tolerate change — they drive it.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>If “we’ve always done it this way” makes your eyebrow twitch, then we’re the team for you!</p><p style="margin: 0; color: inherit; font-style: normal; text-indent: 0"><span style="color: inherit">The Department of Ecology is hiring two<strong style="font-weight: 700"> IT</strong></span><strong style="font-weight: 700"> Application Development - Journey </strong>positions<strong style="font-weight: 700"> </strong><span style="color: inherit">within the </span><strong style="font-weight: 700; color: inherit; font-style: normal; text-indent: 0">Information Technology Services Office (ITSO).</strong></p><p style="margin: 0"><span style="color: inherit"> </span></p><p style="margin: 0"><strong><span style="color: inherit">Location:</span></strong></p><ul style="margin-bottom: 3pt"><li><span style="color: inherit">Headquarters Office in <a href="http://www.ci.lacey.wa.us/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><span style="color: inherit">Lacey, WA</span></a>.</span></li><li><span style="color: inherit">Upon hire, you must live within a commutable distance from the duty station.</span></li></ul><p style="margin: 0"><strong><span style="color: inherit"> </span></strong></p><p style="margin: 0"><strong><span style="color: inherit">Schedule:</span></strong></p><ul style="margin-bottom: 3pt"><li><span style="color: inherit">The positions are eligible for telework and flexible schedule options.</span></li><li><span style="color: inherit">You may telework most of your work time with occasional in-person meetings and activities.</span></li><li><span style="color: inherit">Schedules are dependent upon position needs and are subject to change.</span></li></ul><p style="margin: 0"><strong><span style="color: inherit"> </span></strong></p><p style="margin: 0"><strong><span style="color: inherit">Application Timeline: </span></strong></p><ul style="margin-bottom: 3pt"><li><strong><span style="color: inherit">Apply by December 17, 2025</span></strong></li><li><span style="color: inherit">The positions will remain open until filled.

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.</p><p>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.
