Senior ColdFusion Application Engineer

Navira Federal, LLC is a small business federal contractor. We are recruiting a Senior ColdFusion Application Engineer.

A small, senior, fully remote team supporting a federal agency. Two things happen at once: we keep a large existing financial and contract management application running reliably, and we design and build its replacement on a modern stack. Everyone on the team holds a lane and helps in a second one.

What you will do

Own a large production application written in Adobe ColdFusion against an Oracle database.

Keep it stable on ColdFusion 2023, harden it, improve its performance, handle second tier support and deliver enhancements.

Over time your hours shift toward helping replace it.

The arc of this role

This position is heaviest early and reduces after that as other work takes over. We would rather say that plainly now than surprise you later. For the right person this role is a path onto the team building the replacement system.

Required qualifications

We cannot waive these. Five years of relevant experience, and a degree in information systems, business systems, management information systems, IT management or another IT field. Engineering, math and science degrees are accepted instead. Four further years of relevant experience combined with a relevant professional certification (for example PMP, ITIL Expert, CISSP or a comparable architect or professional level certification) is accepted in place of the degree.

What we are looking for

ColdFusion in production, not as a side interest.

A large inherited codebase you did not write.

Performance and latency troubleshooting.

Someone comfortable being the person who knows the legacy system best.

How to apply

Apply through this posting with your resume. In your application, tell us your earliest possible availability and your salary expectation.

We will tell you what we can about the customer and the schedule once we are in direct conversation and the appropriate agreement is in place.

Work location and schedule

Fully remote, anywhere in the continental United States. Occasional travel to the Washington DC area within two business days of a request. This is a full-time position. Equipment is provided.

Pay and benefits

Pay range: $110,000 to $140,000 per year, contingent on contract award. The salary offered within this range will depend on factors such as experience, skills and qualifications for the role.

Benefits: Navira Federal supports its people at work and in life. Our benefits package includes medical, dental and vision coverage, life insurance, disability coverage, and supplemental options such as accident, critical illness and hospital indemnity plans. Final plan details are set when the contract is awarded and confirmed in your offer letter.

Conditions of employment

This position is contingent on contract award. We are bidding this work now. Award is expected in early 2027 and work is expected to begin around September 2027. We will be straightforward with you at every step about where the bid stands.

We are asking people to commit in advance, in writing, because this is a key personnel position and we are naming the person who fills it in our proposal.

Every position requires a federal Public Trust suitability determination at the moderate level, which currently takes one to two months. Non-U.S. citizens may be considered, subject to the government's advance approval.
