Job Purpose and Impact

The Senior Application Developer designs, builds, tests, deploys, and supports backend services and cloud-hosted application components for the DT&D ERP TRM team. The role owns complex application changes from technical refinement through production support and continuous improvement.

The primary emphasis is backend and cloud engineering: developing APIs, business services, event-driven integrations, and secure cloud-native application components; automating build and deployment workflows; and operating services reliably in production. Frontend development, analytics, and data-pipeline engineering are supporting concerns rather than the core focus of the role.

This is a hands-on senior individual contributor position. The developer works independently on complex assignments, makes sound code-level and component-level decisions, and collaborates with product managers, business partners, architects, security, cloud platform, and operations teams when broader alignment is required.
