The IT Work Management Systems & Data team is responsible for the platforms, workflows, and data capabilities that enable how work is planned, executed, measured, and improved across WWT’s IT organization. The team delivers scalable, secure solutions that integrate enterprise systems, automation, and AI‑enabled capabilities to improve operational efficiency and visibility.

This role provides the opportunity to work on systems with broad organizational impact while collaborating with developers, architects, analysts, and business partners across IT.

As a Senior Developer, you’ll join WWT's IT Work Management Systems & Data team to build a greenfield, AI-native Work Management platform from the ground up. You'll have broad ownership across architecture, design, and development — helping transform how we plan, prioritize, and deliver work enterprise-wide.

In this role, you'll architect and build a modern, AI-driven platform supporting intake, demand management, portfolio planning, and executive reporting. What sets this role apart is the rare combination of greenfield freedom and high impact. There are no legacy constraints — just a modern, AI-native foundation built from scratch.

We're looking for someone with strong software development and system design experience — full‑stack or backend‑focused — who can design scalable architectures, work with MCP, APIs, and data layers.

• Demonstrate and promote WWT Core Values and best practices.
• Designing, building, and maintaining AI-driven workflows and agent-based systems, including prompt routing, task sequencing, error handling, and output validation.
• Lead technical implementation of AI capabilities into enterprise platforms, applications, and workflows, partnering with architects, analysts, and product teams to deliver effective AI-enabled solutions.
• Collaborate with product owners, architects, analysts, and business partners to translate requirements into technical solutions.
• Own solutions end‑to‑end, including development, testing, deployment, monitoring, and production support.
• Ensure adherence to enterprise standards for security, data governance, quality, and responsible AI use.
• Troubleshoot and resolve production issues and contribute to root‑cause analysis and long‑term improvements.
• Provide technical guidance and mentoring to developers through code reviews, pairing, and knowledge sharing.
• Contribute to continuous improvement of development practices, tooling, and system reliability.

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience, with 5+ years of software development experience.
• Experience with workflow, orchestration, or automation platforms; familiarity with cloud‑native or containerized environments and enterprise data or reporting platforms.
• Exposure to AI‑enabled solutions, LLMs, or AI‑assisted development tools; prior experience mentoring developers or leading technical initiatives is preferred.
• Strong analytical, communication, and collaboration skills with the ability to work independently and cross‑functionally.
• Previous experience working with APIs, integrations, and data layers.
• Experience with AI‑enabled applications is preferred.
