We strategize, advise, design, develop and implement future-forward business & technology solutions. With expertise in digital media supply chain, data & analytics, IP & rights management, broadcast transformation, Salesforce and applied AI, our exceptionally talented teams partner with Fortune 1,000 companies to revolutionize markets and set new industry standards.

About The IDC

The IDC is our Innovation and Development Center. We build custom software using modern technologies to solve complex business problems for our clients. We believe the best products and services are realized by knowledgeable, tight‑knit teams aligned to a shared purpose and understanding. We’re honored to be recognized by Fortune magazine and Great Place to Work as a Best Workplace in Texas!

Who We're Seeking

You are an innovative and thoughtful self‑starter who enjoys solving problems and thrives in fast‑paced, collaborative environments. You seek a role where you can shape best practices, mentor team members, work on varied projects, and influence technologies and solutions for both Qvest internal and client‑external projects.

Self‑driven engineering leaders who love to identify and experiment with new approaches, technologies, or tools that will impact our projects or industry. Examples could include emergent architectural approaches, new cloud provider offerings, or productivity enhancers (new tooling, Chat‑GPT, Co‑Pilot, or similar).

What You'll Do

• As a mentor, help grow the careers of other team members, participate in the hiring process, participate in the annual review cycle, and shape and contribute to the engineering culture as a place to learn and grow.
• As a technology leader, work directly with Qvest leadership to impact projects, teams and the Qvest organization by creating, shaping, proposing and presenting engineering practices, architectures and tech stacks. Influence business development through your expertise by creating content and contributing to proposals. Extract reusable components, patterns, concepts and lessons learned to be leveraged across the organization.
• As a project leader, help propose technologies to be used on specific projects, define the shape of the team to build them. Gather, translate and refine business requirements into deployable systems, extracting and leveraging repeatable design strategies, and creating reference implementations. Lead by example through the code you contribute, the continuous improvement you foster, and the quality of documentation, architecture, code and tests your teams deliver.

What You'll Bring

• 8-12+ years in software development, including working in teams
• Experience with agile methodologies such as Scrum, Kanban or XP
• Expertise in the language and library/framework ecosystems of Java, JavaScript/Typescript, or Python
• Definition, utilization and implementation of CI/CD pipelines
• Experience with SOA, Microservices, or similar architectural patterns
• Experience constructing systems by utilizing a separation of concerns (good OOP, FP design, etc)
• Experience with enterprise application integration, including defining the integration architecture, integration data flows and interfaces, integration mechanisms (e.g., async vs. synchronous), middleware, etc.
• Experience with typical AuthN/AuthZ methods and products
• Experience managing data, including the selection of persistence product, design of database schema, constraints and transaction boundaries, read/write design trade‑off decisions and how it relates to mutable vs. immutable data state
• Experience balancing feature development vs. technical debt accumulation to deliver business needs while maintaining quality over time
• Bachelor's degree in engineering, information systems, computer science, business administration or other related fields

$80,000 - $400,000 a year
