Project Description

The Enhancing HCC Digital Connectivity program is executing a multi-year strategy to modernize the Home and Community Care (HCC) digital ecosystem, reduce dependency on the CHRIS platform, and establish the technical foundations for a future-state home care platform. Current plans require the Agency to rationalize existing CHRIS functionality and progressively decompose the platform's monolithic architecture into modular, interoperable services that can integrate with next-generation digital solutions.

To support this transformation, the Agency requires the procurement of three Senior Software Developers - Full Stack responsible for designing, developing, enhancing, and maintaining enterprise-grade web applications and backend services. These resources require extensive experience with the Microsoft technology stack, modern web development frameworks, Azure cloud services, SQL Server, and API development. They will contribute to solution development and support the delivery of secure, scalable, and high-performing software solutions.
