Responsibilities
- Design, build, and maintain custom internal business applications (such as CRM, data-entry, scheduling, and tracking tools) that replace manual and spreadsheet-based processes

- Build automations and integrations between systems (for example Procore, Autodesk Construction Cloud, Primavera P6, and Microsoft 365) using APIs, connectors, and workflow tools
- Use AI-assisted development tools, including Claude, to accelerate design and build work while reviewing, testing, understanding, and documenting all generated code, prompts, and agents
- Partner with business program owners to run discovery, define requirements and measurable success criteria, and translate field and office workflows into working solutions
- Serve as technical owner for assigned programs through the program lifecycle: discovery, proof of concept, beta, launch, support, and retirement
- Follow Tech & AI build standards, including version control, testing before release, required documentation so no program depends on a single person, and secure handling of API keys, service accounts, and connectors
- Prepare security review submissions with Panattoni Tech for any new technology or connection, and follow data-handling rules and client restrictions on AI tools
- Triage and resolve bug reports and enhancement requests, and maintain programs after launch
- Support beta testing, rollout, and user training by providing technical input, documentation, and quick reference guides in partnership with the Technical Enablement Lead
- Track usage and time-saved metrics for owned programs and report results to program owners and Tech & AI leadership
- Advise and review power-user-built dashboards and automations to confirm they stay within established guardrails
- Evaluate new tools, platforms, and techniques and recommend when to build, buy, or retire a solution
Skills
- 1-3 years of experience building business applications, dashboards, or automations
- Demonstrated portfolio of tools built and supported, with the ability to explain the data model, architecture, and tradeoffs without relying on AI assistance
