About the Role:

We are seeking a self-starting Application Developer Business Applications & Process Automation based out of our corporate office in Oak Brook IL. This role will design build and continuously evolve enterprise-grade applications across our low-code/no-code and automation platform stack.

The Developer will also build AI capability into applications and workflows surfacing intelligent automation agents and AI-assisted decisioning where they add real value. The Developer will also use AI coding tools to move faster and take on more than a traditional developer workload would allow.

This is a product ownership role not a project execution role the Developer will own their applications as living products with feature roadmaps and release cycles. Success requires the ability to quickly learn new tools and working alongside AI in both directions as well as the ability to work closely with business stakeholders acting as a change agent for automation and digital adoption bringing a strong bias for action to everything you build.

Youll add value to this role by performing various functions including but not limited to:

Product Ownership & Agile Delivery

• Own a products roadmap adoption iteration cycle and long-term health beyond initial go-live
• Operate within Agile methodologies (Scrum/Kanban) participate in sprint planning backlog grooming stand-ups and retrospectives; break large initiatives into shippable increments
• Act as a self-starter with a bias for action by proactively identifying gaps inefficiencies and opportunities developing solutions gathering feedback and driving them through to completion with minimal oversight.
• Serve as a change agent championing automation and digital adoption across teams influencing stakeholders and driving process modernization even amid resistance

Technical Development

• Design develop maintain and optimize low-code/no-code business applications workflow automations and integrations that improve business processes and enable efficient data exchange across enterprise systems
• Perform data modeling ETL/data migration troubleshooting and system optimization activities to ensure application performance reliability and data integrity
• Document technical solutions and continuously expand expertise in emerging platforms integration methods and automation technologies to support evolving business needs

AI-Augmented Development

• Leverage AI and automation technologies to enhance business applications and workflows using sound judgment to apply the most effective technology approach based on business needs complexity and risk
• Evaluate and prototype with AI platforms and frameworks (e.g. Microsoft Copilot Studio LLM APIs agent frameworks) as part of the broader TreeHouse automation fabric
• Use AI coding assistants and agentic developer tools (e.g. Claude Code Copilot Studio GitHub Copilot) to move faster explore unfamiliar platforms and take on a heavier workload than manual development alone would support

Important Details:

• This role is a full-time hybrid role based out of our corporate office in Oak Brook IL.
• The anticipated compensation for this position ranges from $63500.00 - 95300.00 USD annually. This is the lowest to highest salary we in good faith believe we would pay for this role at the time of this posting. An employees position within the salary range will be based on several factors including but not limited to specific competencies relevant education qualifications certifications experience skills seniority geographic location performance shift travel requirements sales or revenue-based metrics and business or organizational needs. For certain roles the successful candidate may be eligible for annual discretionary merit compensation award bonus and equity pay.

Youll fit right in if you have:

• Bachelors degree in computer science Information Systems Engineering or a related field or equivalent demonstrated aptitude and practical experience
• 14 years of professional experience in application development scripting or low-code/no-code platforms no deep QuickBase background required
• Hands-on experience with at least one of the following: a low-code/no-code platform (QuickBase Power Apps Out Systems Mendix Airtable ServiceNow Appian etc.) a scripting/programming language or database and relational data concepts

• Basic understanding of REST APIs JSON and how systems integrate
• Experience using AI coding assistants (Claude Code GitHub Copilot ChatGPT or similar) to help build debug or learn and to multiply output

• Good communication skills; comfortable working with both technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Experience with the broader Microsoft Power Platform (Power Apps Power BI Power Automate Dataverse)
