POSITION SUMMARY:
The IT Applications Developer I helps build and maintain the internal applications, integrations, automations, and reports that business units across Vigor Marine Group rely on, as part of the IT Delivery and Enablement team led by the IT Delivery and Enablement Manager. The role works alongside the IT Applications Developer II, contributing well-scoped development work while learning the enterprise systems, data sources, and delivery practices the team depends on.

- Develop well-scoped features and enhancements under the direction of the IT Delivery and Enablement Manager, with day-to-day technical guidance from the IT Applications Developer II.
- Contribute to proof-of-concept and pilot solutions supporting emerging business needs.

- Maintain documentation, runbooks, and knowledge resources for supported solutions.
AI Assisted Development
- Use AI coding assistants and related tooling for development, code review, documentation, and testing in line with team practices.
- Verify and test AI-generated work products rather than accepting them at face value.
- Follow team practices for the safe and responsible use of AI, including prompt hygiene and correct handling of sensitive or regulated data.
- Build familiarity with the team's AI-assisted development patterns and contribute improvements as experience grows.
Business Partnership and Requirements
- Participate in requirements gathering with business stakeholders, initially alongside the IT Applications Developer II and progressing to leading discovery for assigned solutions.
- Assist with documenting business requirements, current-state processes, and proposed solution scope.
- Communicate directly with requesters on assigned work, including status updates, clarifying questions, and confirmation that delivered work meets the need.
- Track assigned commitments, open requests, and follow-ups so that business unit needs are not lost.
- Support adoption of delivered solutions, including user walkthroughs and reference material.
Professional Development
- Build working knowledge of the enterprise systems, data sources, and integration patterns the team supports.
- Seek and apply feedback from the IT Delivery and Enablement Manager and the IT Applications Developer II.
- Develop the judgment to recognize when a problem should be escalated and when it can be resolved independently.
- Additional tasks and projects as directed by the IT Delivery and Enablement Manager.
KNOWLEDGE SKILLS AND ABILITIES:
- Working knowledge of at least one general-purpose programming language required, with Python preferred.
- Familiarity with relational databases and SQL fundamentals required.

- Organizational discipline to track assigned work and provide consistent status updates.
- Willingness to work directly with business stakeholders and to learn the operations the technology supports.
- Exposure to a modern web framework and to version control in a team setting preferred.
- Exposure to CI/CD pipelines or automated deployment practices preferred.
- Experience with data work such as reporting, analysis, or data integration preferred.
- Familiarity with Microsoft 365, Microsoft Graph, or the Power Platform preferred.
- Interest in or exposure to regulated environments such as CMMC, DFARS 7012, CUI, or ITAR.
EDUCATION AND/OR EXPERIENCE:
