Job description

OnPoint Data Strategy is looking for a dynamic AI Solution Developer to join the team. This role builds the internal applications and data systems the business runs on, from gathering requirements to deploying to production. You will also run your own projects, including the schedule and the deadlines.

What you will work on:

• Building internal applications and services used daily by staff across departments.
• Decommissioning legacy systems and databases.
• Data pipelines that bring outside data into the OnPoint data ecosystem.
• AI models, retrieval, and agents built into the applications people already use.
• Gathering requirements with each department.

Who this role is for:

• You want to own a solution from the requirements conversation through production.
• You are comfortable starting from a problem that has not been defined yet.
• You would rather talk to the business user than read a ticket.
• You go get requirements from the people who have them.
• You manage your own project schedule and deadlines without someone tracking you.
• You have built complete applications end-to-end. You have personally written the user interface, the API behind it, and the database schema underneath it for the same application.

Who this role is NOT for:

• Someone who prefers to sit heads down and code all day.
• Someone who wants a finished spec handed to them.
• Someone who describes themselves as a front-end or back-end developer.
• Someone who needs a project manager assigned to them.

Required Experience:

• Software development experience in a business environment
• Ability to build UI, API, and data layer
• Running your own projects, including the schedule, the dependencies, and reporting status
• Building and shipping REST APIs
• Building end-to-end solutions with AI development tools (Claude Code or Codex)
• Writing SQL against large relational databases
• Building automated data pipelines that run on a schedule
• Gathering requirements from business users and writing the specification yourself

Preferred Experience:

• Python
• Cloud platform experience, Azure preferred
• ETL and data warehouse design
• Record matching and deduplication on large datasets
• LLM integration in production applications
• Retrieval augmented generation
• Authentication and access control
• Source control, CI/CD, and automated testing
• Migrating data and applications from an old system to a new one

Plus:

• SQL Server
• Data science or machine learning
• Working with large consumer or donor files
• PII and data privacy requirements

If your background is project management and you are already building working software with AI development tools we want to hear from you.
