Job description

Software Developer - Automation Solutions
Position Type: Full Time, Exempt.
Salary: $125,000 - $155,000 annually, (DOE).
Location: We are seeking candidates that can work on-site at one of the service centers located in San Juan Capistrano, CA; Midvale, UT; Dallas, TX; or San Antonio, TX. This position offers a hybrid work option after a 90-day probationary period (not fully remote).
About the Company:
Ensign Services, Inc. ("ESI") is a subsidiary of The Ensign Group, Inc. whose affiliated entities are considered national leaders in the fast-growing post-acute care industry. ESI provides service and support to over 378 facilities in the long-term care continuum that employ over 55,000 employees.
ESI is known as the Service Center and provides the facilities and leaders it serves with back-office support in areas such as accounting, construction, compliance, human resources, information technology, learning and development, legal and risk management and recruiting. This structure allows the onsite leaders and caregivers to focus on day-to-day care and operational issues in their individual operations. What sets ESI apart from other companies is the quality of our most valuable resource - our people.
We take our core values of Celebration, Accountability, Passion for Learning, Love One Another, Intelligent Risk Taking, Customer Second, and Ownership ("CAPLICO") seriously. We want an individual in this role who will demonstrate these values through actions and words.
About the Opportunity:
Ensign Services, Inc. (ESI) seeks an experienced Software Developer - Automation Solutions to serve the needs of our rapidly expanding client base across the United States. The role of Software Developer - Automation Solutions is not a traditional, single-focus developer position - it requires versatility across multiple disciplines, including development, architecture, analysis, testing, and solution design.
As part of this team, you will design, develop, and maintain automation solutions that directly support and enhance business operations. You will leverage strong software development skills, cross-platform expertise, and a deep understanding of business processes to create high-impact, scalable solutions.
Success in this role requires the ability to work effectively with team members and stakeholders at all levels of the organization, from technical peers to senior leadership. You must be capable of advocating for and pushing forward technical solutions that meet business needs while maintaining quality, security, and long-term sustainability.
Job Duties and Responsibilities include, but are not limited to:
  • Legacy Support & Modernization: Support and modernize existing legacy code bases and processes while designing and implementing new, forward-looking solutions.
  • Polyglot Development: Apply software development and design principles across multiple languages and frameworks (e.g., Python, Node.js, and others), selecting the right tool for the job rather than being tied to a single syntax.
  • Hybrid Environment Development: Build and maintain solutions for both legacy on-premises environments and modern cloud-native platforms, with a focus on AWS services and architecture.
  • Data Integration: Consume and integrate data from multiple sources, including on-premises SQL Server, cloud-based data platforms (AWS, Azure Fabric), and third-party providers via APIs and file transfers.
  • Business Process Management (BPM): Develop and enhance workflows using BPM platforms, ensuring scalability, efficiency, and alignment with business needs.
  • Low-Code Solutions: Build non-trivial, enterprise-grade applications using low-code platforms (e.g., Appian, Mendix, OutSystems) that are used company-wide.
  • Problem Solving & Iteration: Make tactical decisions to resolve immediate issues, then evolve those fixes into permanent, well-architected solutions through controlled iteration.
  • AI Utilization: Leverage AI and machine learning to enhance automation, insight, and efficiency-using AI as a strategic tool, not a replacement for technical expertise.

Required Qualifications:
  • Bachelor's degree in computer science, information technology, engineering, or related field, or the ability to demonstrate equivalent knowledge and expertise in software design, development, and architecture.
  • Minimum of 5+ years in software development, automation engineering, or a related technical field.
  • Hands-on experience with Business Process Management (BPM) platforms and low-code tools (e.g., Appian, Mendix, OutSystems).
  • Experience in accounting and healthcare environments is a plus, particularly in understanding related business processes, compliance requirements, and operational challenges.
  • Proven success supporting and modernizing legacy systems while delivering new, scalable solutions.
  • You approach complex technical and business challenges logically, make tactical decisions when needed, and evolve them into sustainable solutions.
  • Proficiency in multiple programming languages and frameworks (e.g., Python, Node.js, and others), applying software design principles over syntax.
  • Experience building solutions for both on-premises infrastructure and modern cloud-native platforms (AWS required; Azure a plus).
  • Strong understanding of integrating data from multiple sources, including SQL Server, AWS data platforms (S3, RedShift, etc.), Azure Fabric, and third-party APIs or file transfers.
  • Skilled in using AI tools to amplify coding productivity by refining, optimizing, and clearly communicating self-generated ideas - leveraging AI as a collaborator to improve solutions, not as a substitute for original thought or problem-solving.
  • Familiarity with Agile and Scrum development processes, including participation in sprint planning, daily stand-ups, reviews, and retrospectives, where iteration and collaboration enhance your productivity rather than slow it down.
  • Ability to work effectively with team members at all levels, including leadership, and to advocate for and push forward the right technical solutions.

Additional Information:
  • Pre-employment criminal background screening required.

What We Offer:
We are committed to providing a competitive benefits and compensation package which includes medical/dental/vision coverage, company-provided life insurance, 401(k) with company match, and sick/vacation plans. Additionally, enjoy access to our fully equipped onsite gym (San Juan Capistrano office location). We also believe in supporting our employee's professional growth and development through our Learning Management System as well as training sessions and seminars.
