Ascend Performance Materials is a global specialty materials manufacturer with IT users and operations across multiple regions, including the Americas, Europe, and Asia. Ascend IT needs a versatile .NET developer/engineer who can move across three areas that are often separate jobs: building and maintaining custom .NET applications, supporting and extending the third-party/vendor applications already in Ascend's IT portfolio, and building AI-enabled features into both. This is not a pure greenfield development role — a significant part of the work is keeping existing vendor applications running, configured, and integrated, while progressively introducing AI capabilities (Azure OpenAI, Cognitive Services, ML.NET, or Copilot-style extensions) where they add real value.
This is a hands-on build-and-support role covering all three areas — not a development-only or support-only position. Day-to-day partnership sits primarily with Houston-based IT and business stakeholders, with occasional exposure to users and vendor relationships at Ascend's other global sites.
At Ascend Performance Materials, we value transparency and fairness in our hiring process. We do not accept unsolicited resumes from third-party recruiters, search firms, or staffing agencies. Any resumes received from such entities will be considered the property of Ascend Performance Materials, and we will not be obligated to pay any fees for such submissions. Our Talent Acquisition Team actively engages with preferred recruitment partners who have established agreements with us. We encourage all interested candidates to apply directly through our official channels to be considered for any open positions.
