Tech Stack
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.
