You’ll collaborate across CSC teams (Operational Excellence, Data Analytics, Cybersecurity, Internal Audit) to deliver integrated, real‑world results.
What You’ll Do
Custom Software & Systems Integration
- Design and deliver custom applications aligned to client business needs

- Use Claude Code as a primary AI‑assisted development tool
- Apply AI coding assistants (GitHub Copilot, Cursor, etc.) to boost velocity and quality
- Build AI‑enabled features using LLM APIs (Anthropic, OpenAI, Azure OpenAI)
- Recommend emerging AI tools that create measurable client value
- Partner with CSC’s AI team on AI roadmapping, governance, and agentic AI delivery
Automation & Optimization
- Identify system performance gaps and implement optimizations
- Build automation using Microsoft Power Platform (Power Apps, Power Automate, Power BI, Azure) and RPA
- Support IoT, control system, and hardware integration initiatives
- Conduct code and architecture reviews to drive continuous improvement
Client Delivery & Collaboration
- Act as the technical liaison between clients and CSC teams
- Lead discovery sessions, workshops, and technical presentations
- Manage multiple projects using agile methodologies
- Mentor junior consultants and contribute to internal standards and tooling
What You Bring
Required
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or related field
- 2 years of experience in custom software development and integration
- Proficiency in multiple languages (Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, C#, SQL)
- Hands‑on experience with AI‑assisted development tools (Claude Code preferred)
- Experience building solutions using LLM APIs
- Familiarity with Microsoft Power Platform and/or cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, GCP)
- Strong client-facing communication skills
Nice to Have
- RPA experience (UiPath, Automation Anywhere, Power Automate Desktop)
- Exposure to agentic AI frameworks (LangChain, AutoGen, Anthropic tool use)
- ServiceNow, Ignition SCADA/HMI, or IoT environments
- Microsoft or cloud certifications
- Background in consulting, accounting, operations, or manufacturing
- Cybersecurity and secure development knowledge
Why CSC?
- People‑first culture grounded in REAL values: Relationships, Excellence, Accountability, Leadership
