Position Overview
This role is within a portfolio company in our
Finance Group
. It combines hands-on development, technical leadership, and architectural guidance across both legacy and modern application stacks — actively driving development with a team using modern practices and AI-native engineering tools.
What you'll actually do
*Modernize without breaking things.*
You'll lead the evolution of legacy applications — VB.NET Web Forms, WinForms — toward cleaner, more modular C# and .NET Core architectures. Not a rip-and-replace; a thoughtful, customer-stable progression.
*Build new products that matter.*
Design and ship new applications and services using C#, React, Typescript, MAUI, and RESTful APIs. You'll work with AI-native tools — Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, GitHub Copilot, JetBrains AI, and Lovable — to accelerate development without sacrificing quality.
*Own the data layer.*
Design SQL Server schemas, write efficient queries, tune performance, and build integrations that connect internal and external systems reliably.
*Code and drive change*
*.*
Drive design discussions, conduct meaningful code reviews, mentor engineers, and translate business needs into architecture that lasts. You'll work directly with product managers and stakeholders — your voice shapes what gets built and why.
*Work close to the metal*
. Our products run in private-cloud, co-location, and Azure environments. You'll collaborate with infrastructure teams on deployments, monitoring, production stability, CI/CD pipelines, Azure infrastructure deployment, and basic infrastructure management.
Requirements
Who you are
You have 8+ years of software development experience and have been in a senior or lead role long enough to know what good engineering culture looks like — and how to build it. You're comfortable navigating legacy codebases without judgment, and excited about using AI tooling to move faster.
Your toolkit includes C#, React, Typescript, MAUI, RESTful APIs, SQL Server, ASP.NET MVC or .NET Core, and practical experience with Azure, CI/CD automation, infrastructure deployment, and basic cloud/infrastructure management.
What matters most: you take ownership, you communicate clearly, and you're energized by the idea of transforming how a team builds software — not just what it builds.
