Job Description
Since 2010, Aladdin has supported transportation businesses across North America with financing and services. We're growing, modernizing our technology, and investing heavily in AI and automation to build better software, improve business processes, and move faster.
We're looking for an experienced developer who is excited about what AI makes possible and is already using it to build real solutions.
This isn't a traditional development position. We want someone who can help us rethink how software gets built, take ownership of meaningful projects, and help our entire Technology team become more effective.
Location: This is an on-site position based in Sioux Falls, SD. Local candidates are preferred, but we're open to candidates willing to relocate for the right opportunity.
What You'll Do
- Build and enhance internal applications, customer-facing platforms, and business automation using Python/Django, .NET/C#, SQL, and modern web technologies.
- Use AI-assisted development tools such as Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Windsurf, or similar tools as part of your everyday workflow.
- Identify opportunities to automate repetitive business processes, integrations, testing, and development tasks.
- Build reliable integrations with third-party APIs, internal systems, and cloud services.
- Help establish better AI development practices, including reusable instructions, documentation, automated testing, and code reviews.
- Work closely with other developers, sharing techniques and helping the team adopt more efficient development approaches.
- Take projects from concept to working software, balancing speed with security, reliability, and maintainability.
- Explore emerging AI capabilities, including agents and workflow automation, and apply them where they provide real business value.
What Makes You a Fit
- 4+ years of professional software development experience, or equivalent demonstrated ability.
- Strong programming fundamentals and experience delivering production applications.
- Hands-on experience using AI coding tools to build, debug, test, or maintain real software. We want to hear what you've built and how AI changed your workflow.
- Experience with Python, C#, TypeScript, or similar languages. You don't need to know every language we use.
- Strong SQL fundamentals and experience working with relational databases.
- Comfortable working with APIs, Git, CI/CD, and cloud-based applications.
- Understands that AI-generated code still needs testing, security review, and sound engineering judgment.
- Willing to experiment, learn quickly, and challenge traditional development approaches when there's a better way.
- Able to communicate clearly, collaborate, and help others grow.
Nice to Have
- Experience with Azure, Azure SQL, Azure DevOps, or Microsoft Entra.
- Experience building AI agents, tool integrations, or automated workflows.
- Familiarity with Django, Angular, .NET, or enterprise application development.
- Experience with automated testing and deployment pipelines.
- Experience mentoring developers or introducing new tools and practices to a team.
How You Work
- AI-first mindset: You naturally look for ways to use AI and automation to work smarter.
- Curious: You experiment with new tools and continuously improve your skills.
- Results-driven: You care more about delivering working solutions than writing code for the sake of writing code.
- Collaborative: You share what you learn, communicate progress, and help teammates succeed.
- Pragmatic: You move quickly without sacrificing security, quality, or maintainability.
- Ownership mindset: You identify problems, propose solutions, and follow through.

Interested?
We'd especially like to hear about something you've built using AI-assisted development.
Tell us what tools you used, what you built, and how you approached testing and delivering the final solution. A GitHub project, demo, or real-world example is a plus.
We're looking for someone who doesn't just want to keep up with where software development is going, but wants to help lead the way.
