CAI Business Units and the Markets We Serve

CAI Software is organized into three business units: Graphic Communications, Process Manufacturing, and Discrete Manufacturing - aligned to the industries we serve. This structure keeps our teams close to customer needs while operating with the scale and support of a global software company.

This role is part of our Discrete Manufacturing business unit, which delivers software solutions for manufacturers that produce components and assemblies that become part of larger products. Serving small through enterprise manufacturers in industries such as aerospace, automotive, industrial equipment, and engineered products, Discrete Manufacturing focuses on modern execution—connecting planning, production, traceability, and automation to help manufacturers run more resilient, efficient, and predictable operations.

CAI India

CAI India is a strategic investment in the company’s future. Our Bangalore Center of Excellence is a place of ownership, expertise, and accountability. Teams in India work on global products end to end, contribute to key decisions, and influence how CAI evolves as a business. This is not a support-led model, but rather a center designed to lead through knowledge, responsibility, and trust.

About the Role

CAI Software’s Discrete Manufacturing Business Unit is hiring a Senior Full Stack Developer for our EDI Products team, backfilling a departing team member. This is a dual-scope role: part software architect, part hands-on full stack engineer. The person in this seat will help define the target architecture for modernizing our legacy EDI platform (iCARaS, iR*EDI, and iSC) and will personally build significant parts of that modernization — from middleware and data access through to the Angular front end. We’re looking for someone who can operate comfortably at both ends: making sound architectural calls and writing production-quality code, while using AI-assisted development to move faster without sacrificing quality.

Key Responsibilities

• Act as a technical architect for the legacy-to-modern transformation of the EDI Products platform — proposing target-state architecture, evaluating trade-offs, and documenting decisions.
• Design and build full stack features end-to-end: Angular/TypeScript front end, .NET-based middleware (HarmonyCore), and the underlying data layer (ISAM/SQL-style access).
• Lead the technical approach for migrating functionality off the legacy Synergy DBL/ISAM and ExtJS stack toward a modern .NET and Angular architecture.
• Use AI-assisted development tools as a core part of the daily workflow — for implementation, refactoring, test generation, and code review — and help raise the bar for AI-led development practices across the team.
• Apply working knowledge of EDI concepts (trading-partner transactions, ASNs, mapping/translation, X12 standards) to ensure modernization work preserves business-critical behavior.
• Break down architecture and epics into well-scoped stories in Azure DevOps (ADO), and manage code through ADO-Git (branching, pull requests, code review).
• Collaborate with the Engineering Manager and Product Managers/Product Owners in Aha! to align technical planning with roadmap priorities.
• Keep architecture decisions, designs, and technical documentation current in Confluence for the team and cross-functional stakeholders.
• Mentor other engineers on full stack development practices, code quality, and modernization patterns.
• Identify technical risk and legacy-system pitfalls early, and propose pragmatic mitigation paths.

AI-Led Development

This role is expected to model AI-led development for the team:

• Use AI coding assistants fluently for implementation, debugging, refactoring, and test coverage across the stack.
• Apply sound judgment about when and how to use AI-generated code responsibly, especially around legacy business logic.
• Contribute to team norms/guardrails for secure, effective AI tool usage.

Tools & Platforms

• Azure DevOps (ADO) and ADO-Git
• Aha! (roadmap and planning alignment)
• Confluence (architecture and engineering documentation)
• AI-assisted development tooling as adopted by the organization

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field from a Tier-1 or Tier-2 institution (e.g., IITs, NITs, IIITs, or equivalent top-ranked engineering colleges) strongly preferred.
• 5+ years of professional full stack development experience, with demonstrated ability to work across front end, middleware, and data layers.
• Strong front-end skills in Angular (or equivalent modern framework) and TypeScript/JavaScript.
• Strong back-end skills in .NET / C#, with experience designing and building APIs and middleware services.
• Solid understanding of relational and/or legacy data access patterns (SQL; exposure to ISAM or similar older data stores is a plus).
• Experience or working knowledge of EDI (electronic data interchange) concepts — X12 standards, trading-partner transactions, ASNs, or mapping/translation tools.
• Demonstrated experience acting in an architect-level capacity: system design, technology trade-off analysis, and technical documentation.
• Hands-on, daily experience using AI-assisted development tools in a professional setting.
• Experience working in Azure DevOps (ADO/ADO-Git) for planning and source control.
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to explain architectural decisions to both engineers and non-technical stakeholders.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience modernizing or re-platforming a legacy monolith into a service-oriented or cloud-friendly architecture.
• Familiarity with Synergy DBL, ExtJS, or other legacy enterprise stacks.
• Experience with Aha! for roadmap planning and Confluence for architecture documentation.
• Background in automotive, manufacturing, or B2B integration software domains.

What Success Looks Like

• A clear, well-documented target architecture for modernizing the EDI Products platform, with team buy-in.
• Tangible modernization progress shipped incrementally, without disrupting existing customer-facing functionality.
• Visible, effective use of AI-led development that measurably improves delivery speed and code quality.
• Strong technical documentation in Confluence and clean, well-managed work in ADO/ADO-Git.

CAI Software’s Discrete Manufacturing Business Unit delivers EDI and B2B integration products — including iCARaS, iREDI, and iSC — that help automotive and discrete manufacturers manage trading-partner communications, demand signals, shipping and labeling compliance, and supplier collaboration. The team is investing in modernizing its technology stack and adopting AI-led development to accelerate delivery while maintaining the reliability our customers depend on.
