Internal Software and AI Solutions Engineer
Fort Worth, Texas
Creative Solutions in Healthcare is seeking an Internal Software and AI Solutions Engineer to help modernize critical business systems and develop practical internal technology solutions.
A major initial project will involve supporting and documenting the legacy EPMS Print Management Solution used by our Wes-Tex operations. EPMS is built on Microsoft Visual Basic .NET (VB.NET). The engineer will also help design and develop a new on-premises Warehouse Management Solution using modern .NET technologies and integrate it safely with EPMS.
This is a hands-on development role that combines internal software development, system integration, process automation, artificial intelligence, and production application support. We need a practical developer who can understand legacy code, work directly with business users, and independently move assigned projects from discovery through deployment.
Your Impact as an Internal Software and AI Solutions Engineer
In this role, you will:
- Evaluate, troubleshoot, and document the existing VB.NET-based EPMS Print Management Solution.
- Work with printshop employees to understand current workflows, business rules, pain points, and system requirements.
- Help define, design, develop, test, and deploy a new on-premises Warehouse Management Solution.
- Build internal applications, web interfaces, APIs, background services, scripts, reports, and system integrations using modern .NET and other approved technologies.
- Design and optimize application data models, SQL queries, stored procedures, and reporting datasets.
- Develop a safe and supportable method for exchanging information between the new Warehouse Management Solution and EPMS.
- Maintain existing applications and resolve production, integration, and performance issues.
- Build business process automations and practical AI-powered features using approved tools and services.
- Gather requirements, build prototypes, conduct user testing, and document completed solutions.
- Communicate project progress, risks, technical options, and blockers to the Director of Artificial Intelligence.
- Follow company standards for security, source control, testing, documentation, change management, backup, and recovery.
- Travel to company locations throughout Texas for discovery, testing, deployment, training, and onsite support.
What You Bring to the Team
Required Qualifications:
- Educational Background: Associate or Bachelor's degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, Software Engineering, Engineering, or a related field; or equivalent professional experience.
- Industry Experience: 3+ years of professional experience in software development, systems integration, business automation, or a related technical role
- Technical Experience and Knowledge: Proven history of developing applications using C# and modern .NET technologies; working with relational databases, SQL, Microsoft SQL Server, REST APIs, JSON, authentication, and system integrations; as well as a background in building or maintaining internal business applications and the ability to read, understand, troubleshoot, and modify VB.NET code.
- Communication Skills: Exceptional ability to gather requirements from non-technical employees and turn them into working technical solutions.
- Analytical Skills: Strong troubleshooting, testing, documentation, and communication skills with the ability to manage moderately complex assignments without requiring step-by-step supervision.
- Travel Flexibility: Availability to travel within Texas up to 20% of the time, as needed.
Prefered Qualifications:
- Professional Experience: Prior work history of maintaining or modernizing VB.NET business applications, warehouse management, inventory, ERP, financial, or other operational systems.
- Specialized Experience: Background in developing internal web applications using ASP.NET Core or similar technologies, use of Azure, Git, on-premises application deployment, role-base access, monitoring, and backup procedures.
The Successful Candidate Will
- Develop a clear understanding of EPMS and the warehouse processes it supports.
- Help deliver a practical Warehouse Management Solution without disrupting daily operations.
- Build reliable applications, integration, and automations that employees use.
- Reduce manual work, recurring errors, and dependence on undocumented legacy processes.
- Own day-to-day project execution while communicating major decisions and risks before they affect delivery.
Working Environment
This is a hands-on engineering position with no direct reports. The engineer will receive priorities, architectural guidance, and support from the Director of Artificial Intelligence and other team members. They are expected to manage the daily execution of assigned work and collaborate with business employees, vendors, IT resources, and subject-matter experts.
Major architecture decisions, security exceptions, changes to vendor-owned systems, and significant production changes require leadership approval. Travel may be more frequent during project discovery, deployment, go-live, and post-deployment support. Occasional after-hours work may be required for planned deployments or urgent production issues.
