As a Senior Programmer Analyst, you will thrive on solving complex problems and building software that matters. This isn't about cranking out code in isolation — you'll be working as part of a Scrum team to understand user needs, design elegant solutions to real-world challenges, and mentor other developers as they tackle tough technical problems. You will own entire systems from concept to deployment, raise the technical bar across the team, and serve as a go-to resource for support staff and fellow engineers. 

 

This position does not provide visa sponsorship now or in the future. Applicants requiring sponsorship or temporary work authorization, including OPT or CPT, are not eligible for this position

  • Design and code new applications, reports, and software components according to department and company standards

  • Conduct thorough code reviews that enforce best practices and elevate code quality across the team; provide constructive feedback that helps developers grow their skills 
  • Collaborate closely with Product Owners, support staff, and end users to validate that your solutions hit the mark, communicating technical concepts clearly to non-technical stakeholders 
  • Mentor and assist other programming staff in analyzing and resolving complex technical issues
  • Identify and implement opportunities to automate repetitive processes 
  • Be familiar with and apply data modeling principles to troubleshoot persistence performance issues and build out the data model for the application 
  • Keep up with industry trends and emerging technologies, including AI tools and how they can enhance developer productivity 
  • Research and prototype new tools and approaches that could improve how we work, treating AI as an enabler 
  • Make well-informed recommendations for technology adoption and system improvements 
  • Serve as a technical resource and expert to clients and less experienced team members 
  • Participate in and lead portions of planning, research, design, and evaluation efforts for software initiatives 
  • Participate in hackathons and innovation initiatives to explore creative solutions to complex problems 
  • Act as a resource expert to both staff and management 
  • Provide technical direction and hands-on guidance to less experienced developers 
  • Help elevate the skills and standards of the entire development team 
  • 4-year degree in Computer Science or a related field — or equivalent training and hands-on experience 
  • 3–5 years of experience in programming and/or software development — you've built real systems and solved real problems 
  • Experience working directly with clients or end users in an Agile environment 
  • Proficiency in multiple programming languages — you're comfortable working in different tech stacks 
  • Experience with Java and JavaScript — this is required for the role 
  • Experience with relational database design, modeling, and administration 
  • A track record of mentoring or leading junior developers 
  • Ability to be in office, in our West Des Moines location, 3 days per week
