Job Description:

About the Role:

We are seeking a self-starting Application Developer, Business Applications & Process Automation, based out of our corporate office in Oak Brook, IL. This role will design, build, and continuously evolve enterprise-grade applications across our low-code/no-code and automation platform stack.

While our current stack is anchored in Quickbase - it includes work with tools such as Microsoft Power Automate, SAP Integrations, RPA, AI agents, and whatever platform best fits the next problem. The Developer will also build AI capability into applications and workflows - surfacing intelligent automation, agents, and AI-assisted decisioning where they add real value. The Developer will also use AI coding tools to move faster and take on more than a traditional developer workload would allow.

This is a product ownership role, not a project execution role - the Developer will own their applications as living products with feature roadmaps and release cycles. Success requires the ability to quickly learn new tools and working alongside AI in both directions, as well as the ability to work closely with business stakeholders, acting as a change agent for automation and digital adoption, bringing a strong bias for action to everything you build.

You’ll add value to this role by performing various functions including, but not limited to:

• Product Ownership & Agile Delivery Own a product's roadmap, adoption, iteration cycle, and long-term health beyond initial go-live Operate within Agile methodologies (Scrum/Kanban) participate in sprint planning, backlog grooming, stand‑ups, and retrospectives; break large initiatives into shippable increments Act as a self‑starter with a bias for action by proactively identifying gaps, inefficiencies, and opportunities, developing solutions, gathering feedback and driving them through to completion with minimal oversight. Serve as a change agent, championing automation and digital adoption across teams, influencing stakeholders, and driving process modernization even amid resistance
• Technical Development Design, develop, maintain, and optimize low-code/no-code business applications, workflow automations, and integrations that improve business processes and enable efficient data exchange across enterprise systems
• AI-Augmented Development Leverage AI and automation technolog
