Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain web application, integration, and automation code using JavaScript, Python, and PHP, including scripts and services supporting AI-enabled features and data preparation.
• Build and maintain integrations connecting internal systems to outside resources, such as partner and vendor platforms, third-party APIs, and hosted services.
• Serve as a technical point of contact for external development resources, vendors, and partners, coordinating requirements, reviewing delivered work, and supporting handoff into internal systems.
• Integrate business applications with the organization’s internal AI services and approved AI tools, utilizing established patterns rather than building foundational frameworks.
• Support and extend customizations, workflows, and configurations within the organization’s core business platforms.
• Collaborate with technical leads, Business Intelligence teams, and business users to gather requirements and translate them into effective working solutions.
• Participate in testing, debugging, and documentation of integrations, customizations, and AI-enabled features.
• Troubleshoot and resolve issues related to business applications, workflows, integrations, and connected services.
• Follow established version control and change control practices, and contribute to documentation of processes, code, and user guides.
• Perform other support and development-related tasks as assigned.
• Stay updated with current development languages, integration patterns, and emerging technology practices through continuous training and mentorship.

• Working knowledge of JavaScript and related web technologies, and of Python for scripting, automation, and integration work; experience with PHP is also applicable.
• Familiarity with web development concepts such as HTML, CSS, JSON, and client/server architecture, with experience working with REST APIs and third-party services.
• Exposure to AI or LLM-enabled application development, such as calling model APIs, working with prompts, or consuming an internal AI service.
• Experience with version control tools (e.g., Git).
• Exposure to customizing or extending enterprise business platforms, such as Oracle NetSuite, is a plus but not required, as is basic familiarity with SQL or relational database concepts.

• Eagerness to learn new technologies and take on technical challenges in a collaborative environment.
