About The Position

Engineering Technical Services within the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering seeks a Solutions Developer Senior to design and deliver technology-driven solutions that improve school operations. The position combines consulting and software development: independently clarifying operational needs, evaluating technical approaches, and delivering practical software, integrations, and automations from requirements through verified operation.

The role works with staff, administrators, and ETS colleagues to resolve complex workflow and integration problems, explain technical tradeoffs, and deliver secure, maintainable solutions. It uses low-code platforms and AI-assisted development where appropriate, and develops and supports solutions in ETS’s existing ColdFusion environment and other approved web, integration, and automation platforms.

The job profile summary describes the work as designing, developing, and troubleshooting moderately complex software and applications in support of a sustainable institutional technological infrastructure. The position salary range is $78,000–$97,450 per year, depending on experience.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree and five years of experience appropriate to the area of assignment or field, or an equivalent combination of experience and/or training providing comparable knowledge, skills, and abilities.
• Demonstrated proficiency in Python, server-side web development, APIs, relational databases, and application troubleshooting.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to explain technical concepts to nontechnical audiences.

Nice To Haves

• Demonstrated experience independently designing, deploying, and supporting operational software, integrations, or automations involving ambiguous requirements or complex technical dependencies.
• Demonstrated ability to translate stakeholder needs into functional solutions using requirements gathering, workflow analysis, or similar techniques.
• Demonstrated proficiency in software development, API and database integration, and automation platforms or low-code tools, including resolving complex technical dependencies.
• Experience with ColdFusion, LAMP environments, and Power Automate.
• Demonstrated ability to apply AI-assisted development with sound technical judgment, independently evaluating, testing, and troubleshooting generated code for correctness, security, and maintainability.
