Software Engineer I

About the role

Nordson’s Development and Integration team builds and runs the custom software that keeps a diverse portfolio of businesses moving—from medical and semiconductor to industrial manufacturing. We own a broad landscape of full-stack .NET applications, web APIs, and integrations that sit on top of our ERP (IFS) and other enterprise systems, and we're actively expanding into Azure and AI.

We're looking for a mid-level full-stack Software Engineer to design, build, and support these applications end-to-end—UI, services, data, and the pipelines that ship them. You'll work across a modern C#/.NET codebase, integrate with real business processes, and help shape our move into cloud-native and AI-powered solutions.

Responsibilities

• Build and maintain full-stack applications across the front end (Blazor, MAUI) and back end (ASP.NET Core Web APIs, gRPC, GraphQL)
• Design and consume integrations between enterprise systems—ERP (IFS), SAP, Salesforce, ServiceNow—and translate business processes into reliable software
• Model and query data across SQL Server, Oracle, and PostgreSQL using EF Core and Dapper
• Own features through the full lifecycle: design, code, test, CI/CD deployment, and production support
• Contribute to our DevOps practices—build/release pipelines, containerization, and monitoring
• Help extend our platform into Azure (Functions, Key Vault, storage, App Configuration) and AI-powered features (Azure OpenAI, Azure AI Search, retrieval-augmented generation, intelligent agents)
• Participate in code reviews, mentor junior engineers, and help raise the bar on quality and maintainability

Requirements

• 3–6 years of professional full-stack software development experience
• Strong proficiency in C# and .NET (.NET 6/8+) and ASP.NET Core
• Experience building web front ends—Blazor preferred; comparable (React, Angular) welcome
• Solid relational database skills (SQL Server, Oracle, or PostgreSQL) and an ORM/micro-ORM (EF Core, Dapper)
• Experience designing and integrating REST/gRPC/GraphQL APIs
• Familiarity with CI/CD, source control (Git), and DevOps practices
• Ability to work directly with business stakeholders and turn processes into working solutions

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with Azure (Functions, Key Vault, Blob/Table Storage, App Configuration, Azure Identity)
• Exposure to AI/LLM development—Azure OpenAI, Semantic Kernel, vector search / RAG, or agent frameworks
• ERP integration experience (IFS, SAP) or other enterprise business systems
• Cross-platform development with .NET MAUI; containerization with Docker
• Background in messaging/scheduling (Hangfire, durable functions) or identity (Duende IdentityServer, ASP.NET Identity)

Benefits

• A broad, high-impact application portfolio supporting businesses across multiple industries
• A clear runway into cloud-native and applied-AI engineering
• A collaborative team that values ownership, mentorship, and continuous learning
