About the Opportunity

Our client is seeking an Applications Developer II – AI & Automation to help turn innovative AI and automation technologies into scalable, real-world business solutions.

This is an excellent role for a developer who enjoys working at the intersection of AI, automation, application development, and business process improvement. You’ll have the opportunity to build AI-enabled applications, intelligent workflows, integrations, copilots, and agent-based solutions that solve real business challenges and reduce manual work.

What makes this role especially interesting is the variety. You won’t be focused on a single application or technology. You’ll work across platforms including Microsoft Power Platform, Airtable, AI development platforms, APIs, low-code/no-code tools, and emerging Generative AI technologies, taking solutions from initial idea through deployment and ongoing improvement.

What You’ll Do

• Design, develop, test, deploy, and support AI-enabled applications, intelligent automations, workflows, and low-code solutions.
• Build solutions using Airtable, Microsoft Power Automate, Power Apps, AI platforms, APIs, connectors, scripting, and other development technologies.
• Develop AI-assisted workflows, conversational experiences, copilots, agents, and knowledge-enabled solutions.
• Design agentic AI workflows incorporating business rules, system integrations, human oversight, exception handling, and escalation paths.
• Evaluate existing business processes and identify opportunities to improve efficiency, user experience, data quality, and decision-making through AI and automation.
• Translate business requirements into practical, scalable, secure, and maintainable technical solutions.
• Develop integrations and data flows across applications and systems using APIs, webhooks, connectors, and integration technologies.
• Configure AI prompts, instructions, knowledge sources, workflow logic, and appropriate guardrails.
• Work with both structured and unstructured data while adhering to data-management, privacy, and security requirements.
• Test and validate AI-enabled solutions, including integrations, outputs, functionality, exceptions, and user acceptance.
• Evaluate AI outputs for accuracy, reliability, relevance, and appropriate behavior, and continually improve solutions based on results.
• Troubleshoot application, automation, integration, and AI issues, perform root-cause analysis, and implement corrective solutions.
• Monitor deployed solutions for performance, reliability, adoption, data quality, and overall effectiveness.
• Apply Responsible AI principles and work within established AI governance, cybersecurity, privacy, access-control, and development standards.
• Create and maintain technical documentation, including solution designs, workflow diagrams, configurations, integrations, testing documentation, support procedures, and knowledge resources.
• Support AI proofs of concept and pilots, helping move successful ideas from experimentation into secure, governed, production-ready solutions.
• Manage multiple development activities, enhancements, incidents, and priorities while communicating progress, dependencies, risks, and blockers.

What We’re Looking For

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Information Systems, Software Development, Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, or a related discipline, or equivalent relevant professional experience.
• 3+ years of experience in application development, application configuration, workflow automation, systems integration, enterprise SaaS solutions, or a combination of relevant experience, projects, and education.
• Hands-on experience with one or more application development, automation, low-code/no-code, or AI platforms such as:
• Microsoft Power Automate
• Microsoft Power Apps
• Airtable
• Comparable AI and automation technologies
• Experience developing or supporting workflow automation using APIs, webhooks, connectors, scripting, integrations, or platform-native tools.
• Understanding of APIs, integrations, data structures, data mapping, validation, and multi-syste
