Business Network Consulting (BNC) is seeking a senior, hands-on developer to design, support and extend custom applications, data integrations and automation solutions for small-to-medium-sized business clients. This role is ideal for a practical problem-solver who can move comfortably between code, databases, APIs, cloud services and client conversations.

You will take ownership of business-critical line-of-business solutions that operate across on-premises, hybrid and cloud environments. The work includes:

• Sound judgment
• The ability to manage multiple client priorities in a fast-paced environment

Responsibilities

• Own, maintain, troubleshoot and enhance production applications and integrations that support core client operations.

• Analyze unfamiliar codebases and production issues, identify root causes, and implement durable fixes with appropriate testing and change controls.
• Document source code, architecture, dependencies, credentials requirements, deployment procedures, monitoring and support runbooks.
• Work directly with client stakeholders and outside vendors to gather requirements, explain options, set expectations and coordinate delivery.
• Estimate work, define milestones and manage multiple development and support priorities through BNC’s project-management processes.
• Collaborate with BNC systems engineers on infrastructure, cloud, identity, security, networking and deployment requirements, ensuring solutions meet data-privacy, governance and responsible-AI standards.
• Mentor engineers who support automation and development-adjacent work, and contribute to technical standards and reusable practices.

• Experience building and supporting API integrations using technologies such as REST, OAuth, JSON, XML and SOAP.
• Hands-on experience with prompt engineering and GenAI application design, including multi-step workflows, agent architectures, tool integrations and conversational experiences rather than simply operating AI tools.
• Ability to evaluate and work across multiple AI and development platforms, selecting practical tools based on client requirements rather than relying on a single ecosystem.
• Experience supporting business-critical applications and integrations across on-premises, hybrid and cloud environments.
• Ability to understand and maintain solutions that span multiple languages, platforms, vendors and legacy systems.
• Experience with source control, structured testing, deployment practices and production support.
• Excellent written and verbal communication with both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Strong organization, ownership and independent problem-solving within defined policies and procedures.
• Willingness to support occasional after-hours or weekend work when a production issue or deployment requires it.

Preferred Experience

• Application development with one or more of the following: C#, JavaScript/TypeScript, Node, React Java, PHP, C++, VB/VBA, HTML/CSS or comparable languages.

• Relevant Microsoft AI, Copilot Studio, Power Platform, Azure, AWS, database, security, networking or DevOps certifications.

What Success Looks Like
