Agent guide: [/agents.md](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/agents.md). --- # Software Engineer, Field & Operational Technology... - **Company:** Quanta Services - **Location:** Houston, TX, United States - **Experience:** Expert - **Contract:** Permanent contract - **Skills:** Sql Data Warehouse, Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), Applications Architecture, User Authentication, Code Review, Databases, Relational Databases, JD Edwards EnterpriseOne, Python (Programming Language), Project Management Software, Role-Based Access Control, Software Engineering, Systems Integration, Data Logging, Enterprise Software Applications, Snowflake, Apache Spark, Software Security, Git, Data Management, Restful APIs, Autodesk Autocad, Software Version Control, Data Pipelines, Databricks - **Published:** August 3, 2026 - **Apply:** https://www.juju.com/job/00000000glbnpp ## About the Role + 7 or more years of professional software development experience, building and shipping applications that real users depend on; + Strong full-stack ability - comfortable across a modern back end (Python strongly preferred) and a web front end, able to own a feature from database to interface; + Solid command of relational databases and data modeling, with the judgment to design schemas that hold up as requirements grow; + Experience designing and building REST APIs and integrating disparate systems, including third-party platforms with imperfect documentation; + Disciplined engineering practice: fluent with Git-based version control, code review, testing, and thorough documentation as a default rather than an afterthought; + A practical grasp of application security: authentication, two-factor, role-based access control, and safe handling of sensitive data; + An ownership mentality - accountable for your code in production, including the parts that are not fun; + The ability to work directly with non-technical operational and business stakeholders, translating their needs into sound technical decisions; and + A pragmatic bias toward shipping working software over gold-plating, balanced with the discipline not to leave a mess behind. Preferred Education and Experience + Experience with modern cloud data platforms, ideally Databricks (Spark, Delta, Unity Catalog), or a strong equivalent such as Snowflake or a cloud data warehouse preferred; + Fluency with AI-assisted development tools (such as Claude Code or similar) and good judgment about where they help and where they do not preferred; + A track record building internal, line-of-business, or operational tools rather than only consumer or shrink-wrapped products preferred; + Experience taking a self-taught, solo, or prototype codebase and re-architecting it into maintainable, production-grade software preferred; + Experience as the technical half of a small, high-trust product team, working closely with a single product or operations lead preferred; + Integration experience with enterprise systems such as JD Edwards, Procore, HCSS, Autodesk, InEight, or telematics platforms preferred; and + Exposure to construction, utility, energy, or another industrial or field-driven industry a plus. ## Description + Move quickly, using AI-assisted development where it earns its place, without ever treating speed as an excuse for fragility; and + Build across priority solution areas including fleet, procurement, project management, and safety. Own the Architecture and Data Model + Design the data models, APIs, and application architecture underneath each solution; + Make the calls on how data is structured, how services talk to each other, and how a tool built for one operating company can generalize across many without collapsing under its own complexity. Integrate with the Enterprise + Build integrations and data pipelines against systems of record such as JD Edwards, construction and telematics platforms, and the Databricks lakehouse; and + Ensure the tools you build read from and write to trusted enterprise data rather than to yet another disconnected copy. Secure and Operate What You Ship + Build to Quanta security standards, implementing authentication, two-factor, and role-based access control as a matter of course; + Own reliability - when something breaks in production, you are the person who understands it and fixes it; and + Build the logging, monitoring, and documentation that make that possible. Harden and Make It Maintainable + Take prototypes and rapidly built proofs of concept and turn them into software a team can maintain - version-controlled, documented, and structured so the next engineer can pick it up; and ## Related Videos - [From Messy Queries to Scalable Systems - How Data Engineering actually works](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100203-from-messy-queries-to-scalable-systems-how-data-engineering-actually-works) - [How Cisco embraced a DevOps culture within its network engineering team](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/99-how-cisco-embraced-a-devops-culture-within-its-network-engineering-team) - [Kubernetes and Microservices with Multi-Model Databases](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/382-kubernetes-and-microservices-with-multi-model-databases) - [How a Small Team Shrank a Microsoft Monorepo by 94%](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1236-how-a-small-team-shrank-a-microsoft-monorepo-by-94) - [Branch your database like your code: How schema changes and pull requests go hand in hand](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/350-branch-your-database-like-your-code-how-schema-changes-and-pull-requests-go-hand-in-hand) - [Remote Driving on Plant Grounds with State-of-the-Art Cloud Technologies](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/251-remote-driving-on-plant-grounds-with-state-of-the-art-cloud-technologies) ## Related Articles - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [Now is the time for industrialized software development](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/601-now-is-the-time-for-industrialized-software-development) - [The 12 Best Jobs for Software Engineers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/401-the-12-best-jobs-for-software-engineers) - [7 Important Tips That Every Software Developer Should Know](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/101-7-important-tips-that-every-software-developer-should-know) - [What is Software Engineering?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/289-what-is-software-engineering)
