The Senior/Principal Software Engineer provides architectural depth, delivery excellence, and hands-on leadership in a complex, legacy-heavy environment that's actively modernizing. This role sits at the center of technical decision-making-driving clarity, unblocking teams, improving engineering practices, and delivering high-quality software across several mission-critical applications. This is not a people-management role, but it is a high-influence technical leadership position. You'll guide engineers, challenge assumptions, simplify complexity, and make pragmatic tradeoffs that accelerate predictable delivery.

Our environment includes substantial .NET, SQL Server, Win Forms/Web Forms, and  footprints alongside more modern .NET Core, REST APIs, Azure Dev Ops, and JavaScript/Type Script front-ends. You should be equally comfortable operating in both worlds.

• Own and drive architecture and design discussions across multiple applications and services.
• Provide pragmatic, hands-on guidance to teams working across .NET, SQL, and mixed front-end stacks.
• Evaluate legacy architectures and propose modernization patterns (service boundaries, APIs, refactors, consolidation).
• Facilitate technical decision-making with crisp rationales, tradeoff analysis, and clear documentation.
• Champion engineering excellence: code quality, testing, CI/CD maturity, observability, and maintainability.

• Unblock teams quickly by diagnosing issues across the entire stack (app, API, data, infrastructure).
• Collaborate with Product, QA, Design, and other engineering teams to ensure predictable delivery.
• Translate complex requirements into executable technical plans, work breakdowns, and sequencing.
• Identify risks early and recommend options that balance delivery velocity with long-term stability.

• Contribute high-quality code in .NET (.NET Framework, .NET Core), C#, and  where necessary.
• Build and enhance web apps using ASP.NET MVC, Web API, Web Forms, and Win Forms.
• Develop and optimize SQL Server objects (stored procedures, SSIS packages, ETL pipelines, reporting).
• Implement robust APIs, REST services, Windows Services, and data-access layers.
