Company Overview
At BCS, we streamline business operations with flexible, turnkey solutions for billing, print and mail services, eDelivery, document management, marketing, customer communications, and financial processes. Our advanced systems and expert team deliver scalable, reliable workflows across mobile, web, and print channels. We collaborate with clients to identify key focus areas, develop strategic plans, and enhance business performance while reducing costs and boosting customer satisfaction.
Job Overview
At BCS, Developers build custom program applications tailored to each client’s needs, not stand alone software products. Our primary language is Python, and we use composition engines to generate output for print and mail production. Developers are responsible for creating streamlined, efficient, and accurate programs that can adapt to frequent client-requested changes.
Collaboration and consistency are key. Developers follow a standardized programming structure so that any team member can easily understand and update code, which is especially important when onboarding new developers. While Python is essential, success in this role also requires learning our industry-specific tools and workflows.
Testing and validation are critical components of this role. Developers must use designated tools to perform regression testing and ensure all client-requested changes are implemented accurately. Even seemingly minor changes must be carefully validated to prevent processing errors. Coordination with the Operations team ensures a seamless handoff from development to production.
Reasonable Accommodations Statement:
Individuals in this position must be able to perform all essential functions, with or without reasonable accommodation.
