In this role, you will design, build, and deliver modern full-stack applications and AI-driven solutions. You'll work as an integral member of a cross-functional team — collaborating daily with software engineers, data analysts, and business end users to translate complex operational challenges into production-grade software. You'll leverage AI coding assistants and agentic workflows to accelerate delivery and raise the bar on quality across the full development lifecycle.

Your responsibilities may include:

• Design and develop full-stack applications using.NET, React, and Blazor, from architecture through deployment

• Write clean, testable code for data pipelines, APIs, and AI integrations
• Architect and implement AI-driven agentic solutions using Azure AI Foundry, Azure OpenAI, Semantic Kernel, and related services
• Integrate multi-step AI workflows (tool use, retrieval-augmented generation, agent orchestration) into enterprise applications
• Use AI coding assistants (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Azure AI coding tools, Claude) as a standard part of your development workflow to improve velocity and code quality
• Partner closely with a cross-functional team of software engineers, data analysts, data scientists, and business end users to gather requirements, define solutions, and deliver software that directly supports operational decision-making
• Serve as a technical bridge between analytical and engineering disciplines — translating business requirements from analysts and end users into well-architected, maintainable solutions
• Engage end users throughout the development cycle — conducting working sessions, incorporating feedback, and ensuring delivered applications solve real-world problems effectively
• Participate in code reviews, CI/CD pipeline management, and DevSecOps practices
• Contribute to a team culture of knowledge sharing, continuous improvement, and collaborative problem-solving

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with Azure AI Foundry, Azure OpenAI Service, or similar enterprise AI services
• Knowledge of RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) patterns and vector databases
• Prior experience building enterprise level software solutions for upstream oil and gas operations or similar industrial environments
