The Task Automation Developer will report to the Automation Manager and is responsible for handling small development tasks, bug fixes, ad-hoc requests, and integrating with internal and external APIs. This role requires a skilled and versatile developer proficient in C#, SQL, and Python, who thrives in a dynamic environment where priorities can shift quickly.

Key Responsibilities:

• Ad-Hoc Development: Quickly understand and execute small-scale development requests, such as scripting, automation, and minor feature implementations using C#, SQL, and Python.
• API Integration: Develop and maintain integrations with both internal and external APIs, ensuring smooth data flow between systems, including working with O365 and SharePoint APIs.
• Bug Fixing: Identify and resolve bugs in existing applications efficiently, ensuring minimal disruption to ongoing operations.
• Database Management: Write and optimize SQL queries to retrieve, manipulate, and store data in support of ad-hoc reporting and small-scale application needs.
• Collaboration: Work closely with other team members, including business analysts and project managers, to understand ad-hoc requirements and deliver solutions in a timely manner.
• Code Maintenance: Maintain and improve the quality of existing codebases by making minor updates and optimizations as needed.
• Documentation: Provide clear documentation for completed work, including API integrations, to ensure that future maintenance and updates can be carried out smoothly.
• Testing: Conduct basic testing of developed solutions to ensure they meet the required functionality before deployment.
• Support: Assist in troubleshooting and resolving technical issues as they arise, often under time constraints.
