Software Engineer

we're looking for a Software Engineer who cares as much about outcomes as they do about code.

This role sits on the central product team responsible for developing and evolving Nucor's manufacturing execution systems - including our current homegrown platform and the next-generation MES we are building. You'll work in close partnership with mill-embedded engineers who live in the operational complexity of Nucor's facilities every day.

Your job is to take the signal they surface - real workflows, real constraints, real friction - and turn it into reliable, high-quality software that makes a difference on the floor.

This is not a maintenance role. You'll be building something new and shaping how Nucor manufactures steel for decades to come. This is a full-time, permanent position based at the NBT office in Dallas, TX.

Candidates must be legally authorized to work in the US (Nucor Business Technology (NBT) will not sponsor the need for a visa now or in the future).

Safety is the most important part of all jobs within Nucor; therefore, candidates must be able to demonstrate the ability to initiate, lead, and uphold safety policies, practices, procedures, and housekeeping standards at all times.

- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field; or equivalent professional experience

- 3-5 years of experience building and shipping production software

- Proficiency in at least one modern language: Python, C#, or TypeScript/JavaScript

- Working knowledge of AI and LLM integration: prompt engineering, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), agent frameworks, or evaluation-driven development

- Experience designing and consuming APIs (REST or GraphQL) and integrating across service boundaries

- Proficiency with AI-assisted development workflows and agentic coding tools

- Demonstrated ability to take ownership of a feature or system from design through delivery

- Experience building product features with direct user impact, demonstrated by gathering user feedback, iterating based on that feedback, and measuring outcomes through adoption, efficiency, quality, or other defined performance metrics

- Comfort with modern cloud infrastructure, particularly Azure; AWS or GCP experience also considered

- Strong fundamentals in software architecture, testing, and system design

- Proficiency with Git, CI/CD pipelines, and observability tooling

- Experience with legacy system modernization or platform migration is a plus

- Manufacturing or industrial domain knowledge is a plus, not a prerequisite
