This role's focus?

ACD Direct is seeking a talented and forward-thinking Software Developer with experience in C#/.NET, JavaScript/Angular, and AI application development, including designing, training, and deploying models.

The Software Developer will be a key contributor in building AI-powered systems that improve workflows, decision-making, and client applications. The top priority for this role is AI systems design, context, and workflow engineering creating intelligent pipelines where large language models (LLMs) and other AI tools interact with data, rules, and users in ways that are scalable, accurate, and reliable.

This includes designing how AI integrates into real-world processes, managing context so models return meaningful results, and developing prompt frameworks where main prompts are supported by layered instructions, role definitions, guardrails, and formatting prompts that guide the model toward consistent outputs. In addition, the role involves full-stack development using C#/.NET and Angular, ensuring AI components are seamlessly embedded into our applications.

What will you do?

• Architect AI-driven systems that integrate models, APIs, and data into complete, scalable solutions.
• Build context strategies that ground AI outputs in business rules, client data, and historical context.
• Design and implement workflow-driven AI solutions that enhance efficiency, automation, and decision support.
• Write, refine, and optimize main prompts and supporting prompts (role instructions, guardrails, formatting rules) to ensure reliable, production-ready performance.
• Develop, deploy, and maintain AI/ML models on platforms such as OpenAI, ML.NET, TensorFlow, or Azure Cognitive Services.
• Integrate AI features into applications via RESTful APIs and asynchronous workflows.
• Develop and maintain scalable web applications using C#/.NET (backend) and Angular (frontend).
• Collaborate with Product, QA, DevOps, and UX teams to deliver high-quality solutions.
• Contribute to planning, code reviews, and documentation.
• Stay up to date with emerging AI/ML practices and bring forward solutions to improve products and workflows.
• Performs other related duties as assigned by management.

What does it take?

• AI Systems Design: Experience architecting AI solutions that tie together models, APIs, databases, and application layers.
• Context & Workflow Engineering: Ability to design how AI interacts with business logic, user input, and workflows to deliver accurate, useful results.
• Prompt Engineering & Orchestration:
  • Expertise in writing and refining main prompts for LLMs.
  • Experience creating supporting prompts (instructions, role definitions, guardrails, formatting rules) that guide models toward consistent and controlled outputs.
  • Ability to structure prompt chains or multi-step interactions where smaller prompts reinforce the overall system objective.
• AI/ML Development: Experience training, deploying, and optimizing models in production.
• AI Frameworks & Services: Hands-on experience with OpenAI, ML.NET, TensorFlow, Azure Cognitive Services, or similar platforms.
• Proficiency in C#/.NET backend development.
• Strong experience with JavaScript and Angular frontend development.
• Familiarity with SQL Server and relational database design.
• Experience with version control (e.g., Git) and agile workflows.
• Cloud experience ( Azure or AWS) for AI hosting and integration.
• Knowledge of CI/CD pipelines and DevOps tooling.
• ColdFusion experience is a plus.
