Job description

Available for the following offices: Houston, Hybrid

What You’ll Do:

• Design, develop, maintain, and enhance applications across different platforms, environments, and database systems.
• Analyze existing codebases, business logic, database structures, and data flows to understand how current systems operate.
• Extend, improve, or modernize existing applications and services with limited supervision.
• Work with database-heavy systems where complex calculations, business rules, and application logic may reside within the database layer.
• Develop and support Python-based services or other service layers that provide data from backend systems to application front ends.
• Troubleshoot complex application, database, and logic-related issues, identify root causes, and implement practical solutions.
• Research unfamiliar technologies, frameworks, legacy code patterns, and business processes independently.
• Rapidly prototype, test, and deliver working solutions in a high‑velocity environment with shifting priorities.
• Use AI development tools such as Cursor, Claude, GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, or similar tools to support development, while validating output and maintaining production‑quality standards.
• Collaborate with technical teams and business stakeholders to understand requirements and translate them into reliable application solutions.

What You Bring:

• 5+ years of professional software development experience.
• Strong hands‑on experience with application development in database‑driven environments.
• Experience with one or more database technologies such as Oracle, SQL Server, DB2 iSeries, PostgreSQL, MySQL, or NoSQL databases.
• Ability to understand, interpret, and implement complex business logic within application and database‑driven systems.
• Experience developing, maintaining, or supporting applications and services, not only moving data between systems.
• Demonstrated ability to work across diverse application stacks, legacy systems, and technical environments.
• Strong analytical, debugging, troubleshooting, and problem‑solving skills.
• Ability to independently assess a situation, identify the root cause, and implement a fix or feature without waiting for step‑by‑step direction.
• Proven track record of delivering high‑quality solutions quickly and effectively.
• Ability to research unfamiliar tools, frameworks, and code patterns and produce working solutions through self‑directed learning.
• Strong communication skills and ability to explain technical decisions, tradeoffs, and implementation approaches clearly.
• Practical experience using AI‑assisted development tools in a thoughtful and effective way, beyond basic autocomplete.

Preferred Qualifications (Nice‑to‑Haves):

• Experience working with Oracle, SQL Server, DB2 iSeries, PostgreSQL, or other enterprise database systems.
• Experience working in financial systems, supply chain, energy, oil and gas, enterprise operations, or other business‑critical application environments.
• Experience interpreting business requirements and translating them into application logic, service logic, or database‑driven functionality.
• Experience supporting legacy application modernization or enhancing existing systems.
• Experience with AI‑assisted development tools such as Cursor, Claude, GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, or similar platforms.
• Experience working in fast‑paced environments where priorities may shift and independent ownership is required.

What You’ll Gain:

• Full‑time opportunity with WebCreek in a business‑critical application development environment.
• Competitive compensation.
• Opportunity to work on complex application systems with meaningful business logic and database‑driven functionality.
• Collaborative, international work environment.
• In‑house IT training and certifications through WebCreek University.
• Opportunity to work with modern development practices and AI‑assisted development tools.
