Overview

Part-time contractor with guaranteed 10 - 15 hours per week. Opportunity to convert to full time after 6 months | Denver, CO | Remote

The Opportunity

Business Network Consulting (BNC) is seeking a senior, hands-on developer to design, support and extend custom applications, data integrations and automation solutions for small-to-medium-sized business clients. This role is ideal for a practical problem-solver who can move comfortably between code, databases, APIs, cloud services and client conversations.

You will take ownership of business-critical line-of-business solutions that operate across on-premises, hybrid and cloud environments. The work includes maintaining existing deployments, improving reliability and documentation, troubleshooting vendor and legacy-system dependencies, and delivering new solutions that create measurable value for clients.

This is a developer-first position with a consulting mindset. Success requires technical depth, clear communication, sound judgment and the ability to manage multiple client priorities in a fast-paced environment.

Responsibilities

• Own, maintain, troubleshoot and enhance production applications and integrations that support core client operations.
• Design and build data pipelines, ETL processes, database interfaces, views, stored procedures and reporting integrations.
• Develop automation, workflow and integration solutions using PowerShell, Python, application code, APIs, Microsoft Copilot Studio, Power Automate, Power Apps, SharePoint Agents, task schedulers and services.
• Integrate cloud platforms, SaaS products, vendor systems and legacy applications using REST, OAuth, JSON, XML, SOAP and related technologies.
• Support secure handling, transformation and delivery of sensitive business data, including solutions involving regulated or personally identifiable information.
• Analyze unfamiliar codebases and production issues, identify root causes, and implement durable fixes with appropriate testing and change controls.
• Document source code, architecture, dependencies, credentials requirements, deployment procedures, monitoring and support runbooks.
• Work directly with client stakeholders and outside vendors to gather requirements, explain options, set expectations and coordinate delivery.
• Estimate work, define milestones and manage multiple development and support priorities through BNC’s project-management processes.
• Collaborate with BNC systems engineers on infrastructure, cloud, identity, security, networking and deployment requirements, ensuring solutions meet data-privacy, governance and responsible-AI standards.
• Mentor engineers who support automation and development-adjacent work, and contribute to technical standards and reusable practices.

Qualifications

• 4+ years of hands-on experience with software development, database programming, coding and scripting.
• Strong production experience.
• Strong RDBMS Database skills, including experience with AWS RDS, SQL Server, Azure SQL, T-SQL, data modeling, ETL and database troubleshooting.
• Experience building and supporting API integrations using technologies such as REST, OAuth, JSON, XML and SOAP.
• Hands-on experience with prompt engineering and GenAI application design, including multi-step workflows, agent architectures, tool integrations and conversational experiences rather than simply operating AI tools.
• Ability to evaluate and work across multiple AI and development platforms, selecting practical tools based on client requirements rather than relying on a single ecosystem.
• Experience supporting business-critical applications and integrations across on-premises, hybrid and cloud environments.
• Ability to understand and maintain solutions that span multiple languages, platforms, vendors and legacy systems.
• Experience with source control, structured testing, deployment practices and production support.
• Excellent written and verbal communication with both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Strong organization, ownership and independent problem-solving within defined policies and procedures.
• Willingness to support occasional after-hours or weekend work when a production issue or deployment requires it.

Preferred Experience

• Client-facing consulting or professional-services experience
• Application development with one or more of the following: C#, JavaScript/TypeScript, Node, React Java, PHP, C++, VB/VBA, HTML/CSS or comparable languages.

• Deep experience with the Microsoft 365 ecosystem, including Microsoft Copilot Studio, Power Platform, SharePoint, Teams, Power BI, Entra ID, Azure AI services, Exchange and Intune integrations.
• ERP, financial-systems, CRM, HR platform, business-intelligence or data-warehouse integrations.
• Security tooling and practices, including secrets management, least-privilege access, logging, monitoring and secure data transfer.
• Experience building AI-enabled business solutions with tools such as Microsoft Copilot Studio, Claude or comparable GenAI platforms, including agentic patterns, workflow orchestration and integrations with business data and applications.
• Relevant Microsoft AI, Copilot Studio, Power Platform, Azure, AWS, database, security, networking or DevOps certifications.

What Success Looks Like

• Clients can rely on their applications and integrations for day-to-day operations, with fewer single points of failure.
• Existing solutions become easier for BNC engineers and client teams to understand, support and extend.
• New development work is practical, secure, documented and aligned with the client’s business objectives.
