[Hiring] Applied Innovation Engineer @Central Valley Ag Cooperative

Role Description

The Applied Innovation Engineer builds, deploys, and supports the custom business applications that Central Valley Ag runs on — products such as RouteForge and Gravis, the grower portal, and the applications that follow them. This is an end-to-end role: the Engineer talks to the people who will use the software, designs and writes it, puts it into production, and stands behind it once it is there. The team is small and moves quickly. AI-assisted development is a normal part of how work gets done here, and the Engineer is expected to use it well and to review what it produces with the same rigor applied to hand-written code.

Qualifications

• Three or more years building and supporting business software in a professional environment.
• Bachelor's degree in a technology-related field such as computer science, computer information systems, or management information systems (preferred).

Requirements

• Proficiency with at least one modern programming language and application framework — for example TypeScript/JavaScript with React or Next.js, C#, or Python.
• Relational databases and SQL: schema design, query writing, and troubleshooting against real data.
• Cloud fundamentals: deploying and hosting an application, authentication, secrets, logging, and monitoring (AWS and/or Microsoft Azure).
• System and data integration through APIs and file interfaces.
• Strong troubleshooting skill. Able to reproduce a problem, find the cause, and fix it rather than work around it.
• Clear written and verbal communication with non-technical users.

Benefits

• Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions.
• This position may be based at any Central Valley Ag location or worked remotely.
• Periodic travel to CVA locations is expected to observe the work the software supports, and for team meetings.
