TECH life AT AMA.
The Opportunity
You’re a geek — and proud of it. You love working with computers, playing with computers and there are simply no words to describe your deep love for technology. You can’t visit a website without dissecting it to figure out how it works and how it could be better for the end user. We could use a passionate techy like you! As a Developer for our Information Services team, you’ll help provide AMA with new business solutions and improve existing technology solutions. The primary responsibility of this job is to translate software requirements into working software and to code, maintain, enhance, develop, and test applications for use in AMA. You’ll also be part of our evolving approach to spec-driven development, using AI Coding Agents to help turn well-defined requirements into secure, maintainable, and testable software. Just as importantly, you’ll bring strong interpersonal skills, respect for others, and a collaborative mindset that helps preserve the positive, supportive, and high-performing work environment our team values. You understand that technology is most valuable when it supports business goals, improves the member and employee experience, and helps the organization deliver meaningful outcomes. This is a fantastic opportunity to engage in a positive and creative work environment that offers excellent benefits.
