The Software Solutions Development Program (SDP) is a unique three-year
rotational program designed to develop future technology leaders who can bridge
business needs and technical solutions. This program provides hands-on
experience in software development while emphasizing strategy, collaboration,
system design, and stakeholder engagement. The program is a great fit for
candidates interested in the impact of technology decisions and curious about
product strategy, process, and people – not just code.
Participants will rotate across multiple technology domains—including connected
products, enterprise platforms, analytics, ERP systems, and intelligent
automation—gaining a holistic understanding of how technology enables business
outcomes. Through mentorship, cross-functional collaboration, and structured
development experiences, you will build the skills needed to influence technical
direction, lead initiatives, and drive meaningful impact. This role is
well-suited for individuals interested in growing toward technical leadership,
solution ownership, or business-facing technology roles rather than deep
specialization in individual programming tasks. Graduates of this program will
be well-positioned for roles such as technology lead, product owner, systems
analyst, solution architect, and engineering manager.
In This Role, Your Responsibilities Will Be:
Contribute to the design, development, testing, and deployment of software
across multiple domains
Collaborate with product owners, business partners, and end users to
understand problems and define solution approaches
Apply Agile principles and collaborate within cross-functional teams
Participate in technology planning, trade-off discussions, and design
decisions
Apply and learn modern development tools and platforms (e.g. object-oriented
languages, web technologies, databases, cloud services, and version control)
while also contributing to design reviews, architectural discussions, and
delivery planning
Facilitate communication of technical concepts between technical and
non-technical audiences
Partner with mentors and rotation managers to set goals, track progress, and
reflect on learnings at the conclusion of each rotation
Engage in elective “lab” projects to broaden experience in areas like DevOps,
UI/UX, AI/ML, and cross-functional consulting
Who You Are:
You stay aligned with your goals and stay productive. You convert ideas into
actions and produce results with new initiatives. You make new connections and
build relationships in other areas and teams. You prepare content for
communication that is impactful. You treat mistakes as stepping-stones and
reduce risk by testing consequences.
For This Role, You Will Need:
Bachelor’s degree in software engineering, computer science, information
systems, engineering, or a related technical or analytical field
Demonstrated interest in technology, business processes, or product
development through coursework, internships, or project work
Preferred Qualifications That Set You Apart:
Master's degree in software engineering or MBA
Engineering co-op or intern experience
Experience collaborating with cross-functional teams to define and deliver
software-enabled solutions
Demonstrated ability to communicate technical concepts to non-technical
audiences
Experience gathering, documenting, and validating business or system
requirements
Participation in project planning, stakeholder reviews, and/or solution
design discussions
Exposure to enterprise systems, integrations, and/or end-to-end process flows
Experience leading or coordinating work across teams (with or without formal
authority)
