Lead design and delivery of scalable, reliable software using C#/.NET, SQL Server, React, and Azure. Own complex initiatives from design through operations, mentor engineers, improve CI/CD, observability, and apply DDD/TDD/VSA practices. Use modern APIs, microservices or modular monoliths, and AI-assisted tooling to improve delivery.
This is a remote position.
The Senior Software Engineer is a highly experienced, hands-on technical leader responsible for owning and driving initiatives from concept through delivery. This role requires deep technical expertise, strong solutioning skills, and the ability to provide technical guidance across the software development lifecycle.
The ideal candidate partners closely with Architecture, Product, and DevOps to design and deliver scalable, reliable, and high-performing solutions that create meaningful business impact.
Key Responsibilities:
• Take ownership of complex engineering initiatives, leading technical design, implementation, delivery, and ongoing operational excellence.
• Design, build, and maintain scalable software solutions using technologies such as C#, .NET Framework, SQL Server, React, jQuery, DocumentDB (MongoDB), Azure, and related integration platforms.
• Develop and support modern service architectures, including RESTful APIs, GraphQL, modular monoliths, microservices, and event- or integration-driven solutions as appropriate.
• Partner closely with Architecture, Product, and DevOps to define technical solutions that are scalable, reliable, performant, secure, and aligned with platform strategy.
• Provide technical leadership and guidance through solution design, code reviews, mentoring, estimation, and hands-on problem solving.
• Contribute to and improve engineering practices such as CI/CD, automated testing, observability, release quality, and operational readiness using Azure DevOps and related tooling.
• Apply sound engineering principles and practices such as domain-driven design (DDD), test-driven
development (TDD), vertical slice architecture (VSA), and clean modular design where appropriate.
• Identify and resolve system bottlenecks, reliability concerns, and performance issues across applications, services, data stores, and integrations.
• Leverage AI-enabled tools such as Codex, Claude Code, or similar technologies to improve engineering efficiency and software delivery outcomes.
• Collaborate effectively across teams and stakeholders to drive clear technical decisions, reduce risk, and deliver measurable results.
Requirements
• Proven experience as a senior or lead software engineer, with a track record of owning and delivering complex technical initiatives.
• Strong hands-on experience with C#, .NET Framework, SQL Server, React, and modern application development practices.
• Experience designing and delivering RESTful APIs and scalable distributed or modular systems.
• Strong understanding of CI/CD pipelines, Azure DevOps, software quality practices, and reliable production delivery.
• Demonstrated ability to provide technical guidance, solution design, and architectural input in partnership with Architecture, Product, and DevOps teams.
• Familiarity with VSA, DDD, TDD, modular monolith architecture, microservices, and related engineering approaches is strongly preferred.
• Experience using Codex, Claude Code, or other AI tooling within the SDLC is strongly preferred, along with the ability to effectively leverage AI as a development tool.
• Exposure to AI and processing technologies within product experiences is a plus
• Exposure to and familiarity with the legaltech industry is a plus.
• Strong communication, collaboration, problem-solving, and technical leadership skills.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
