Job Title: AI Developer
Department: IT
Reports To: IT Manager
Salary Range: DOE
Status: Exempt (Salary)
Schedule: Full Time (40+ hours per week)
Shift: Office (8:00 AM to 5 PM)
Location: SLC/Lehi
Managerial Responsibility Level: Junior-to-mid-level role that works on implementing AI tools, writing code, working directly inside Rover ERP system.
JOB SUMMARY:
This position is a hands-on role requiring strong technical execution and a demonstrated ability to build and implement solutions. The individual is responsible for deploying AI tools, writing code, working directly within the Rover ERP system, and ensuring that solutions function effectively in real-world operations.
The individual reports to Sensapure’s IT Manager and operates as a peer to the AI Solutions Manager, who is responsible for defining project scope and business requirements. The individual is accountable for translating those requirements into functional, production-ready software. Quarterly priorities are established by Sensapure’s executive AI steering group and are expected to guide work output. In addition, the individual is required to collaborate closely with Sensapure’s IT department and provide technical support during periods of reduced AI project demand.
The role requires direct development within the Rover ERP environment. Rover ERP’s technical team has confirmed that custom enhancements and AI integrations can be developed on-site, and this responsibility is a central function of the position, given Rover’s critical importance to Sensapure’s operations.
The position is targeted toward a recent Computer Science graduate with substantial coding proficiency. Prior business experience is not a primary requirement; however, the individual must demonstrate strong intellectual curiosity, technical discipline, and a clear capacity to learn the operational structure of a specialty manufacturing business. Sensapure will provide training on business processes; the individual is expected to provide the required engineering expertise.
MAIN JOB FUNCTIONS:
- Build AI-powered enhancements and workflow automations directly in Rover, working alongside Rover’s technical team.
- Write and maintain code for custom integrations, data extractions, and automations that replace manual workflows.
- Monitor the accuracy of AI outputs within Rover, catching errors before they reach production, ordering, or financial operations.
- Document customizations with clear technical specifications and version control.
- Build, configure, and maintain AI tools across Sensapure’s business systems, connecting APIs, building data pipelines, and deploying workflow automations.
- Deploy every tool within approved standards and follow established data-handling procedures for sensitive data.
- Test rigorously: validate outputs, identify edge cases, and flag hallucinated or sycophantic responses that could create business risk.
- Work alongside IT on security, system architecture, and data compliance; support IT-adjacent projects during lower-demand periods.
- Invest time in learning how Sensapure actually works: how flavors are developed, orders are managed, and production is scheduled, so your code solves real problems.
- Grow into a senior technical resource as Sensapure’s AI program scales.
EDUCATION:
- Bachelor of Science in Computer Science (completed or graduating by August 2026). We specifically seek the depth and rigor of a Computer Science degree.
WORK EXPERIENCE:
Strong foundational coding skills shown through coursework, projects, internships, or personal work. You write real code, not just prompts, and you already work day to day in terminal-native agentic coding tools such as Claude Code or GitHub Copilot, which is a different discipline from casual ChatGPT use.
REQUIRED COMPETENCIES:
- Proficiency in Python and SQL.
- Real fluency building and working with APIs (not just calling them), ideally with FastAPI, plus solid database design and data querying.
- The ability to read, evaluate, and debug code, including AI-generated code, and explain what it does and where it may be wrong.
- Exposure to multi-value (MultiValue / PICK-style) databases, or the appetite to learn them. Rover’s environment relies on this model.
- Coursework or projects in business process analysis, systems design, or information systems.
- Coursework or experience with ERP systems or enterprise databases (any platform); experience with PostgreSQL and Elasticsearch is a plus, as both are common in Rover-adjacent stacks.
- Hands-on experience with AI/ML tools, API integrations, or workflow automation (Python AI libraries, LangChain, n8n, Zapier, or similar).
- Exposure to data security, data classification, or data governance concepts.
- Familiarity with BI or data-visualization tools (Power BI, Tableau, or similar).
WORK ENVIRONMENT:
This position almost constantly works in an office environment. Frequently working with moving mechanical parts, fumes or airborne particles, and close quarters. Frequent exposure to allergens such as milk, eggs, fish, crustacean shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, and soybeans.
PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS:
Continuous use of hands, hearing/listening, talking. Frequent sitting, standing, walking, bending/stooping, and lifting up to 10 lbs. Seldom climbing stairs, kneeling/squatting, reaching overhead, and pulling/pushing, and lifting up to 50 pounds.
