Balance Speed and Quality
Engineers are expected to balance delivery speed with a strong commitment to quality, meeting agreed timelines while producing reliable, maintainable, and well-tested solutions. Sound judgment in making trade-offs between velocity and long-term sustainability is essential.
Engineering is collaborative by default. Team members are expected to contribute constructively in design discussions, reviews, and planning, communicate clearly about progress and risks, and support shared team outcomes in both hybrid and distributed environments.
Build and Maintain Systems
Engineers are responsible for building new capabilities while maintaining and improving existing systems. This includes designing scalable solutions, reducing technical debt, supporting operational stability, and contributing to continuous improvement.
Operate with Autonomy
A high degree of autonomy is expected. Given clear objectives, engineers should independently translate problems into actionable technical approaches, proactively identify improvements, and continuously expand relevant technical expertise.
Ownership and Accountability
Ownership is fundamental. Engineers are accountable for the quality, performance, and customer impact of their work from design through post-release support, and are expected to follow through on commitments.
AI-Enabled Engineering
AI is reshaping how software is built, and we are committed to leveraging it as a force multiplier for creativity, impact, and capability. Engineers are expected to confidently apply strong technical fundamentals while embracing AI tools and approaches to enhance productivity, problem-solving, and innovation. Curiosity, adaptability, and enthusiasm for integrating AI into meaningful product development are essential.
Contribute to Team Culture
Engineers contribute positively to a culture of professionalism, transparency, low bureaucracy, and mutual respect, strengthening team performance through authenticity, curiosity, and collaboration.
About the Role
This is a role designed for engineers early in their careers who want to grow quickly by working on real production systems. You'll develop strong engineering fundamentals, learn modern development practices, and gain experience across the full software development lifecycle.
* Contributing to the development of web applications using C#, .NET (Core, MVC, Web API), and SQL Server.
* Collaborating with engineers, designers, and product managers to design, build, test, and release product features.
* Writing clean, maintainable code that meets engineering standards for performance, reliability, and security.
* Working with quality assurance teams to identify, troubleshoot, and resolve issues during development and testing.
* Learning and applying engineering best practices across testing, observability, and system reliability.
* Using AI-assisted development tools to support coding, debugging, documentation, and learning while maintaining code quality and correctness.
* Continuously building your technical knowledge and contributing ideas that improve our products and engineering practices.
This position description is intended merely as a guideline of the responsibilities involved in the position. The employee is expected to perform any other duties as reasonably required by their Manager.
What Sets You Apart!
* 1–2 years of professional software development experience, including internships, co-op placements, or relevant project work.
* Exposure to modern programming languages or frameworks such as C#, .NET, React, or similar technologies.
* Basic understanding of software development concepts such as APIs, databases, version control, and debugging.
* Strong curiosity for learning new technologies and improving engineering skills.
* Ability to work collaboratively within a team and communicate effectively in a distributed environment.
* Curiosity about emerging technologies, including AI-assisted development tools.
* Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
* Ideal for engineers who are eager to learn, motivated to build great software, and excited to grow alongside experienced teammates.
Our Core Technology Stack!
We build modern, scalable software on a thoughtfully designed stack:
* Data: SQL Server with performance and integrity at scale.
* Observability: Metrics, logging, alerting, and dashboards in Datadog — because we believe you can't improve what you don't measure.
Our architecture continues to evolve as we scale. We invest in event-driven systems, well-defined microservices, and containerized deployments (Azure Container Apps) to build resilient, decoupled, and high-performing software.
If you care about clean service boundaries, reliable systems, and shipping with confidence — you'll feel right at home here.
