Working on the IT team, this role focuses on extending our Epicor Kinetic ERP and developing our internal intranet tool suite, both built on .NET. The developer works closely with users across the business to turn real operational problems into practical, well-built tools. We are rapidly adopting AI-assisted development tools and expect this person to embrace them early and use them well. Our team moves fast, and we work hard to do so while protecting a healthy work-life balance.   ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES Develop and maintain Epicor Kinetic customizations, including BPMs, Epicor Functions, BAQs, dashboards, and integrations through the Kinetic REST API. Build, enhance, and support applications in our internal intranet tool suite. Write and tune SQL Server queries, views, and stored procedures that support reporting and business processes. Integrate internal systems with Epicor and third-party services through APIs. Gather requirements directly from users in manufacturing, engineering, sales, and finance, and translate them into working solutions. Troubleshoot and resolve application issues, and provide second-level support for the tools the team owns. Use AI-assisted development tools to accelerate coding, testing, documentation, and debugging, and help the team refine how we use them. Write tests, participate in code reviews, and document work so others can support it.   EDUCATION AND/OR EXPERIENCE 0–2 years of professional software development experience, or equivalent hands-on experience through internships, academic projects, or personal work. Experience building at least one complete application, from data layer to user interface. Familiarity with version control (Git) and issue tracking. Willingness to learn new tools, technologies, and business domains as needs evolve. Working knowledge of C# and .NET; experience with Java, TypeScript, Python, or a similar language is also welcome. Familiarity with SQL and relational databases, preferably Microsoft SQL Server. Understanding of REST APIs, JSON, and web application fundamentals (HTML, CSS, JavaScript). Hands-on use of AI coding assistants (e.g., Claude, GitHub Copilot) and genuine curiosity about new development tools. Ability to break down an ambiguous business request into clear, buildable pieces. Ability to write readable, maintainable code and follow established coding standards. Foundational debugging and troubleshooting skills. Preferred qualifications (not required): Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Systems, or a related field. Exposure to an ERP system, ideally Epicor Kinetic. Experience with ASP.NET Core, Blazor, or a modern front-end framework. Interest in manufacturing, supply chain, or business operations.   LANGUAGE AND PEOPLE SKILLS  Strong verbal and written communication skills are essential. This role works directly with users across the business, many of whom are not technical, so the ability to ask good questions, explain technical tradeoffs plainly, and document work clearly is required. The developer should be comfortable receiving feedback, asking for help early, and collaborating openly with teammates.   COMPUTER SKILLS Proficiency with modern development tools is central to this role, including Visual Studio or VS Code, Git, and issue tracking platforms. Comfort with AI-assisted development tools, and the judgment to review and verify their output, is expected. Familiarity with SQL Server Management Studio, Microsoft Teams, and SharePoint is beneficial. Adaptability to new software and platforms is essential given how quickly our tooling is evolving.   PHYSICAL & MENTAL DEMANDS This role requires extended periods of computer work, including sitting, typing, and phone use. It may occasionally involve lifting equipment weighing up to 25 pounds. Candidates should be able to maintain focus during prolonged desk-based work. Reasonable accommodation may be provided for qualified individuals with disabilities.   WORK ENVIRONMENT This position is based in our Liberty Lake, WA office, with the potential for hybrid flexibility depending on business needs. The open office is designed for collaboration, and regular time on the production floor helps the developer understand the processes our tools support. We are a fast-paced team that values sustainable pace: we plan realistically, respect time off, and avoid making overtime the norm. Occasional travel to our manufacturing facility in Mexico may be required.   COMPENSATION Pay Range: $75,000 - $90,000/ year Status: Exempt Please note that the salary information shown above is a general guideline only.
