Description
### **Elite Challenge: Application Developer \& Automation Engineer**
**Location:** Madrid, Spain (Hybrid mode \- 50% on-site) **Working Hours:** 09:00 to 18:00
Are you the kind of developer who sees a manual process and can't help but automate it? Are you passionate about moving seamlessly between building stable applications and designing intelligent automation architectures?
At **Initium Software**, we are not a traditional consultancy. We are strategic partners who firmly believe in delivering real impact through technology. We are not looking for someone who merely "writes code"; we seek an autonomous, curious professional with a problem-solving mindset — capable of tackling complex challenges end-to-end — working side-by-side with our business team in Spain. If you want an environment where initiative is the norm — not the exception — this is your place.
### **Your Mission (Your Challenges and Responsibilities)**
As a key member of our team, you will be responsible for maintaining and evolving applications, automating complex processes, and supporting cloud infrastructure. Your impact will be reflected in:
* **Evolve and Optimize:** Lead development, maintenance, and bug fixing for our internal web application built on .NET / C\#.
* **War on Inefficiency:** Design and maintain process automations using Python and the Microsoft ecosystem (Power Automate, Excel, Teams, SharePoint, etc.).
* **Data Mastery:** Execute critical data extraction, transformation, and loading (ETL) activities using Python, and bring them to life through dynamic reports and dashboards in Power BI.
* **Cloud Foundation:** Manage and provide basic support for our Azure infrastructure, including Virtual Machines, applications hosted on IIS, and Azure SQL databases.
* **Business Partner:** Operate independently in a client-facing environment, translating operational needs into technical solutions while maintaining impeccable documentation in Confluence and Jira.
### **Your Arsenal (What We’re Looking For in You)**
To conquer this challenge, the following are **essential**:
* **Experience:** At least **5 years** of experience in hybrid roles combining software development, automation, and systems support.
* **Required Technical Stack:**
+ Solid development experience in .NET Framework / C\#.
+ Advanced proficiency with SQL Server databases (advanced queries and data manipulation).
+ Automation with Python (scripting and ETL processes).
+ Dashboard design in Power BI.
+ Basic Azure infrastructure support (VMs, IIS, Azure SQL).
* **Languages:** Advanced English (**C1**) and fluent Spanish (both spoken and written), essential for daily interaction and the international context.
* **Soft Skills:** Proven ability to work autonomously (single-squad model), proactivity, and excellent client-facing communication skills.
**We especially value if you also have:**
* Experience with integrations in the Microsoft ecosystem (e.g., Power Automate).
* Proficiency in PowerShell scripting.
* Familiarity with Azure Dev/Test/Prod environments and supporting critical internal business tools.
* **A passion for learning, sharing ideas, and growing alongside the team.**
How will we measure your impact?
* Monthly achievement of project efficiency objectives.
* Effective alignment and execution of the strategic plan.
**What We Offer You:**
* **Compensation:** Competitive fixed salary aligned with your elite-level experience.
* **Real Flexibility:** Hybrid work model (50% on-site at our Madrid offices) to maintain the perfect balance between teamwork and autonomy.
* **Initium Culture:** An environment of autonomy, collaboration, and dynamism — where there’s no micromanagement, only full trust in your talent.
* **Continuous Growth:** A space that values your initiative, recognizes your impact in real time, and genuinely invests in your professional development.
