Database Application Developer

Position Summary 

OPEX Corporation is currently looking for a junior or mid-level software developer to join our Cortex database team. Cortex equipment management and order fulfillment software controls OPEX’s robotic automation equipment and acts as the brains of a fulfillment operation. Database interaction plays a central role in this application suite. Proficiency in this area is a core requirement for this role. This position will be responsible for designing new schemas and PL/PGSQL functions to ensure data consistency while allowing for deeply customizable business logic to meet each customer’s unique requirements.
