Position Summary

Prime Controls is hiring an Associate Developer to build the APIs, integrations, automations, and AI agents that connect our business and engineering systems. This role is designed for an early-career developer, including a recent computer science or software engineering graduate, who is genuinely fast with modern AI development tooling and uses it to produce working, supportable software rather than one-off scripts.

The work is real and immediate. Prime is standing up API endpoints against internal engineering data, moving field-facing tools off spreadsheets and manual handoffs, and building AI agents that take repetitive work out of estimating, project controls, purchasing, and document handling. The Associate Developer will write that code, test it, document it, and hand it off in a state someone else can maintain.

This is not a help desk role and it is not an infrastructure role. Day-to-day support, identity, endpoint management, and network operations stay with Information Technology. This role sits in the Business Technology Group and partners closely with Engineering, IT, platform owners, and the business groups whose processes the work is meant to improve.

We expect the person in this role to grow. The intent is to add senior development leadership over time and build a small development function around it, so appetite for mentorship, code review, and rising standards matters more than a polished resume.

Key Responsibilities

API and Integration Development

• Build and maintain REST API endpoints that expose project and asset data from internal engineering systems to the tools that need it, including project asset lists consumed by field-facing applications.
• Implement authentication and authorization for internal and externally reachable applications using approved patterns such as JWT, Microsoft Entra , or issued API keys, following the standard selected with IT and BTG rather than inventing a new one per project.
• Develop integrations between enterprise platforms including ERP/MRP, engineering data systems, construction tracking platforms, Microsoft 365, and internal tools, using vendor APIs, file exchanges, and scheduled data movement.
• Write integration code that fails visibly and recover ably, including logging, error handling, retries, and alerting that tells someone when data stopped moving.
• Document endpoints, payloads, dependencies, and support expectations so…
