OpenEdge Software Developer

As a Progress/OpenEdge Developer, you will play a key role in the development of our proprietary Warehouse Management System (WMS). This is not a legacy maintenance role — it’s a forward-looking position focused on modernizing our tech stack, enabling APIs, and leveraging AI-aided development to accelerate delivery and quality. You’ll work in cross-functional domain teams and have a significant impact on the future of our WMS platform.

• Integrate APIs to enable seamless communication across systems.
• Apply AI-assisted development tools to improve productivity and code quality.
• Contribute to architectural decisions and long-term system scalability.
• Participate in agile ceremonies and continuous improvement initiatives. Occasional travel to other NewCold sites may be required.

Required Skills & Experience:

• Proven experience with Progress 4GL / OpenEdge development.
• Strong understanding of API design and integration.
• Experience with AI-assisted development tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Tabnine) is a plus.
• Familiarity with logistics, warehousing, or ERP systems.
• Comfortable working in agile, cross-functional teams.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related field.
• Experience with modern development practices (CI/CD, DevOps).
