TransFund Intern / Junior Database Developer

TransFund Intern / Junior Database Developer 

Location: Denver, CO

Description

The TransFund Intern Junior Database Developer supports the development and enhancement of database applications within an Oracle Database environment.

This position is focused on junior-level application development in the development environment, with primary emphasis on modifying and extending existing Oracle applications already in production rather than building new systems from scratch. Working under the guidance of senior IT staff, the individual will create and test database code, contribute to approved application improvements, and provide practical development capacity while senior team members manage code review, UAT validation, and production implementation.

How You'll Spend Your Time
In consultation with senior developers and TransFund IT leadership, you will support the development, enhancement, and maintenance of Oracle database applications. You will primarily contribute in the development environment by building and modifying SQL and PL/SQL program units, supporting testing activities in lower environments, and preparing changes for review and advancement through established validation processes managed by senior staff.

• You will develop, modify, and test Oracle 19c database application components such as SQL scripts, PL/SQL procedures, packages, functions, and related database objects in the development environment.
• You will enhance existing Oracle applications already in production by implementing approved fixes, minor enhancements, and development tasks assigned by senior team members.
• You will prepare code changes and support documentation for review, ensuring deliverables are organized, readable, and ready for senior review, UAT validation, and controlled promotion through established deployment processes.
• Working in conjunction with fellow IT team members you will support technical changes that improve the stability, maintainability, and functionality of TransFund’s Oracle-based applications.
• You will assist with unit testing, development validation, and peer review preparation to help ensure database application changes function as intended before promotion to later test stages.
• You will document technical changes, development assumptions, and implementation details to support knowledge sharing, code review, and ongoing application support.
• You will build familiarity with TransFund’s Oracle application landscape, development standards, and software delivery practices while expanding your hands-on technical skills in a regulated production support environment.
