Associate Systems Engineer

The Scoular Company•Omaha, NE

About The Position

Associate Systems Engineers support the integration design, testing, and ongoing development of the integrations platform connecting Scoular's business applications, trading partners, and data platforms. As part of an Agile Integration Team, the role works alongside senior integration engineers to build and maintain integrations using Azure Integration Services, monitor the existing integrations environment, and help triage and correct exceptions within short timelines. Scoular uses an AI-assisted SDLC, and this role develops fluency with Claude Code from the start, following the defined session lifecycle of kick-off, develop, code-review, build-check, and wrap-up. Development is on Scoular's .NET/C# and Azure stack, with code maintained in GitHub Enterprise. The role emphasizes source control, testing, understanding message formats and data mappings, reading and debugging code, and knowing when to escalate. It offers hands-on enterprise integration, API, and automation experience, with a foundation for growth into an Integration Engineer role.
