Job Level

About the role

  • Design, build, test, deploy, and maintain full-stack web applications (frontend, backend, data storage) that support business workflows and analytics needs.
  • Translate stakeholder needs into technical requirements, then into reliable, scalable implementations; manage the backlog and deliver iteratively.
  • Establish and maintain code quality via reviews (self/peer where applicable), automated tests, CI/CD, documentation, and observability.
  • Develop and maintain scripts and lightweight services to automate operational tasks (data collection, transformations, system integrations, reporting, and file/process automation).
  • Create reusable libraries and utilities to accelerate common work patterns and reduce “one-off” technical debt.
  • Prototype and implement agentic AI workflows that can set goals, execute steps, validate outputs, and integrate with internal systems while maintaining safety controls (permissions, logging, human-in-the-loop where needed).
  • Monitor and troubleshoot production issues; implement fixes and continuous improvements.
  • Partner with business stakeholders to clarify requirements and deliver solutions aligned with business goals.

Requirements

  • Master’s degree in Software Engineering, Computer Science, or related field (or equivalent practical experience).
  • 1–3 years of professional software development experience (full stack preferred).
  • Demonstrated ability to own deliverables end-to-end in a small-team or solo-developer environment.
  • Full-stack development experience: modern web UI + backend APIs + data persistence.
  • Strong programming skills in at least one general-purpose language (e.g., Python, TypeScript/JavaScript, C#, Java).
  • Experience building or integrating automation scripts (ETL, data processing, workflow automation).
  • Ability to learn quickly, make sound engineering tradeoffs, and deliver maintainable solutions with minimal oversight.
Benefits
  • All employees are required to follow the site EHS procedures and Coherent Corp. Corporate EHS standards.
