Full Job Description
About The Role

ScalePad builds the tools that turn managed service providers from reactive support desks into strategic advisors for their clients. The flagship product unifies risk insights, client planning, and service delivery across 12,000+ partners in 60+ countries. You'll be working on the thing that matters most to the business.

This is a full-stack role in a .NET and React codebase running on AWS. You'll own features end-to-end - technical design through deployment through post-release optimization - not just write code to someone else's spec. AI tooling is already part of how this team works. You'll be expected to push that further: finding new ways to compress cycles, generate tests, and reduce the drag of repetitive engineering work.

The environment is collaborative but high-ownership. You'll be in architectural discussions, reviewing peers' code, and making technical decisions - not waiting for them to be made for you.

What you'll own

Get ready to go beyond order-taking. Your strategic responsibilities include:

  • Design, build, test, and maintain backend services in .NET (C#), with AI-assisted development as a default part of your workflow.
  • Develop and improve front-end applications in React.
  • Build and maintain cloud-native infrastructure and services on AWS (EC2, Lambda, RDS, S3, and similar).
  • Take full ownership of features from design through deployment and post-release performance tuning.
  • Identify and reduce technical debt and system performance issues before they become blockers.
  • Write well-tested, maintainable code and hold your peers to the same standard through code reviews.
  • Contribute to architectural decisions and technical direction for the product.
  • Continuously evolve your AI-augmented development workflows - automated test generation, AI debugging, code generation - and bring what works back to the team.

What we're looking for

We care about what you can do more than where you've done it. However, experience in the following areas will help you hit the ground running in this role:

Must-Have
  • 3+ years of professional software development experience.
  • Strong backend experience in .NET (C#).
  • Front-end experience with React.
  • Hands-on AWS experience in production environments.
  • Track record of owning features or systems end-to-end in a SaaS context.
  • Solid understanding of software design principles, testing practices, and version control.
  • AI fluency is non-negotiable. You actively use AI-powered development tools - copilots, AI-assisted debugging, automated test generation - as part of how you write and ship code today. Not "interested in exploring." Already doing it.


Nice-to-Have
  • Experience with microservices or distributed system architectures.
  • Hands-on with Docker and CI/CD pipelines.
  • Infrastructure-as-Code experience (Terraform, CloudFormation).
  • Background in product-led SaaS environments.
  • Experience mentoring junior developers.
