Full Job Description
We are seeking a Software Engineer who can reliably deliver features end-to-end with occasional direction, while growing toward the independence and ownership expected of an Senior Engineer.

  • Contribute to system reliability and supportability through automated tests, debugging, and incremental improvements.
  • Triage and resolve defects in production and non-production environments, escalating and pairing as needed.
  • Participate in code reviews as both author and reviewer, and incorporate feedback to improve engineering quality.
  • Create and maintain lightweight technical documentation (implementation notes, runbooks, and operational considerations).
  • Grow ownership over one or more modules, workflows, or services over time, including knowledge sharing with the team.

Requirements
  • Bachelor's degree in computer science, engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
  • 3+ years of professional software engineering experience (or equivalent demonstrated capability).
  • Experience with TypeScript, JavaScript and React
  • Experience building production software with C#/.NET.
  • Working knowledge of SQL and relational databases (writing queries, understanding schemas, and using SQL to troubleshoot issues).
  • Experience identifying and resolving application performance bottlenecks through profiling, data access optimization, and responsiveness improvements.
  • Strong problem-solving skills and ability to learn unfamiliar systems.
  • Clear written and verbal communication.

Preferred:
  • Experience working on systems with large datasets, ETLs, or complex data workflows.
  • Experience writing and maintaining automated tests (unit and/or integration), plus comfort working in CI workflows.
  • Experience with Git / GitHub workflows and pull-request-based collaboration.
  • Experience with ASP.NET (Web Forms, MVC, or Core).
  • Experience with GIS systems including ESRI and map visualization tools such as Google Maps or Mapnik.
