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 a Senior Engineer. You will contribute across the SDLC, collaborate closely with product, QA, and other engineers, and steadily take on more complex work over time.

• Deliver small to moderately complex features across the SDLC, from understanding requirements through implementation, testing, and release.
• Write clean, maintainable, and testable code, following team standards and established patterns.
• Collaborate with stakeholders and other engineers to clarify requirements and translate them into workable technical tasks (including constraints, risks, and tradeoffs).
• 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.

• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
• 3+ years of professional software engineering experience (or equivalent demonstrated capability).
• Experience with Type Script, 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.

• 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/Git Hub 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.

$90,000 - $112,000 a year, to be determined based on candidate’s individual skills and experience.
