Software Engineer, APS (C#/.NET)

About the Role

Join a tight-knit, development team building new innovations for our Advanced Planning & Scheduling (APS) platform. You will work directly with senior developers, diving into a broad set of manufacturing and scheduling challenges. You will collaborate in an apprenticeship style development environment to expedite learning and communication around scheduling concepts and architecture. We will be working with .NET 8+ in a variety of different applications, using Visual Studio 2022 and Git, and expect you to move confidently across our codebase so we can focus on domain-specific logic rather than syntax training. Over your first year youll absorb our architecture, contribute to core initiatives, and eventually mentor newer teammates. All you need is deep .NET experience, a logical mindset, and overlap with U.S. Pacific time for smooth collaboration.

What Youll Doo

• Collaborate in working sessions with senior developers on priority APS/scheduling initiatives across diverse manufacturing concepts and code modules
• Design, implement, and refactor C#/.NET 8+ code for new optimization routines, detailed scheduling enhancements, and new application frameworks that can be reused by other teams
• Participate in sprint planning to scope and estimate development tasks
• Stay organized with work item management and proactively communicate progress and blockers to teammates
• Submit pull requests for your own features and review peers’ PRs, ensuring code quality and consistency
• Become a product expert by understanding the existing code and how it impacts customer interactions with the product.
• Contribute ideas to existing designs and suggest improvements as you become familiar with the product
• Assist in resolving critical customer issues when they arise (no on-call rotation)
• The ideal candidate is an ambitious, seasoned Software Engineer who can work comfortably in a collaborative environment and is confident to get coding quickly.
• Strong candidates will excel at achieving goal-oriented initiatives, discussing dev plans and working in large code projects. In general, we’re looking for team members who possess an innate ability to set the standard and strive for excellence every minute of the day.
  To succeed at CAI candidates should be incredible critical thinkers, relentless problem solvers, and positive people.

What We’re Looking For

• 4+ years of professional C#/.NET development in demonstrating rapid growth and initiative
• Expert fluency in modern .NET (5+) Solutions and Visual Studio 2022; deep understanding of OOP design and common development patterns
• Proven track record owning software initiatives or features—able to self-start without basic syntax or coding training
• Strong logical and analytical thinking; comfortable reading and understanding complex logical code
• Availability for at least 4 hours overlap with U.S. Pacific Time
• Reliable internet connection to participate in working sessions with screen share
• Experience with coding REST APIs with ASP.NET

“Nice to Have” Qualifications:

• Familiarity with Claude Code or similar AI-assisted development tools.
• Bachelor’s or higher in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field
• Background in APS, MES, ERP, or other manufacturing/supply-chain software
• Exposure to scheduling algorithms, heuristics, or constraint-solving libraries
• Experience pair programming or working in the same code areas with others on projects • Experience implementing CI/CD pipelines (GitHub, GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps)
• Hands-on with cloud platforms (Azure Functions, containers, microservices) or infrastructure-as-code
• Experience with DevExpress UI controls (Any Framework)
