About the role

Wi‑Tronix is transforming rail safety, performance, and operations through real-time insights and intelligent digital products. We're looking for a Software Developer II who is passionate about writing clean, tested backend code, enabling empowered product teams, and delivering outcomes that matter, not just shipping features. As a Developer II, you'll work within Wi‑Tronix's Product Operating Model, building the server-side logic, data pipelines, and APIs that power our railroad intelligence platform. You'll collaborate closely with Product and Design in a cross-functional team built around real customer problems and measurable outcomes. This role is perfect for a developer who cares about code quality, is genuinely curious about AI, and wants a mission they can believe in.

Core Functions

• Design, develop, and ship scalable C#/.NET backend solutions that fulfill clearly defined product outcomes
• Write well-tested code using unit, integration, and functional testing frameworks. Quality is built in, not bolted on
• Contribute to REST API design and microservice development in a modern .NET environment
• Build and maintain SQL schemas, stored procedures, and data pipelines that support real-time rail operations
• Validate completed work with Product Managers and participate in releases to confirm outcomes are met
• Participate in requirements reviews and design discussions with Product Management, Product Delivery, and IT colleagues
• Contribute to the team's discovery work by surfacing technical feasibility concerns early and helping shape solutions
• Share ideas and provide input during design sessions; help create artifacts that move the team forward
• Perform root cause analysis on escalations and communicate bugs and findings clearly to the Associate Product Manager
• Follow Wi‑Tronix development standards and continuous delivery practices: small, low risk releases that can be validated and iterated quickly
• Ensure documentation stays current as code evolves
• Participate in SAFe ceremonies as a contributing team member
• Stay close to release telemetry and dashboards, treating defects as feedback that improves the product
• Collaborate with your manager on career development and growing your professional competencies
• Stay current with emerging tools and technologies, particularly AI assisted development
• Participate in training, knowledge sharing, and continuous improvement across the team

Qualifications

• B.S. in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field, or 5+ years of equivalent professional experience

• Proficiency in C# with .NET Framework, .NET Core, or .NET 6+
• SQL skills including complex queries, stored procedures, and schema design
• Demonstrable experience using AI-assisted development tools to translate specifications into working, testable code
• Solid Git workflow: branching strategies, pull requests, and code review
• Comfort in Visual Studio or a comparable IDE
• Ability to operate successfully in a lean, fast paced organization
• Technology enthusiast demonstrated through work experience, hobbies, and/or education
• Agile mindset: the ability to work iteratively, support rapid prototyping, and contribute to effective feedback loops

Skills (Nice to Have)

• REST API design and microservices in a containerized environment
• Exposure to C++ (select services; deep expertise not required)
• Unit testing frameworks such as xUnit, NUnit, or MSTest
• MS SQL performance tuning and optimization
• Experience with AWS or other cloud platforms
• Jira or TFS work item tracking
• SAFe or other Agile certifications
• Background in transportation, IoT, or safety critical systems

Work Environment

• Hybrid schedule: Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday are designated in-office days at our corporate office in Bolingbrook, IL. Monday and Friday may be worked remotely or in the office; however, employees must be available to come on‑site for all days as business needs require
• Occasional ability to board a locomotive for field observations may be required
• This role requires the ability to begin work within approximately 1 to 2 weeks of offer acceptance

Your Growth Matters. This Role Can Lead To:

• Developer III → Software Development Manager or Principal Engineer
• Or broaden into: DevOps, Software Architecture, or AI adjacent engineering roles
