We are looking for an intermediate Software Developer to join the
** Next Gen
* * R&D team at
** Harris School Solutions**.This role will help support and modernize a critical K-12 financial management platform used by school districts to manage accounting, payroll, HR, purchasing, fixed assets, and other core business operations.

This is not a greenfield development role. The successful candidate will work with a mature, mission-critical product that includes both legacy and modern technologies, including Visual Basic 6, SQL Server, Excel macros, custom integrations, IIS deployments, and production support processes. The team is also expanding Next Gen 2.0, a modern .NET-based web application using technologies such as C#, Blazor, and WiseJ.This

position is important to the long-term health of the product. The team is transferring deep product knowledge, reducing reliance on individual subject matter experts, modernizing legacy functionality, and changing how software is built through AI-assisted and agentic development practices.

We are looking for someone who can grow into strong technical ownership over time: a developer who is curious, pragmatic, comfortable with complexity, and able to work through imperfect systems. The successful candidate is not expected to know the product on day one, but must be able to learn complex systems, ask good questions, document what they learn, and steadily build ownership.

We are also looking for someone who already uses AI tools as part of their development workflow — not just for code completion, but for code analysis, debugging, test generation, documentation, refactoring, and agent-assisted development.## ##

Key Responsibilities
* Maintain, troubleshoot, and improve the Next Gen Classic application, including VB6 components, SQL Server databases, Excel macros, custom scripts, and related legacy technologies.
* Contribute to Next Gen 2.0, including bug fixes, enhancements, APIs, modernization work, and customer-driven features.
* Use AI-assisted and agentic development tools to accelerate code analysis, development, debugging, testing, documentation, and knowledge capture.
* Learn and document complex business logic, system dependencies, customer-specific behavior, and K-12 school finance domain concepts.
* Help migrate legacy functionality into modern .NET-based services, APIs, and web application components.
* Write and maintain SQL Server queries, stored procedures, scripts, and data troubleshooting tools.
* Support deployments, release activities, hotfixes, QA collaboration, support-team handoff, and production troubleshooting.
* Work with Product Management, Professional Services, Support, QA, and other R&D team members to investigate issues and deliver practical technical solutions.
* Contribute to internal documentation, AI-ready knowledge bases, and knowledge transfer efforts.## ## What Success Looks Like The successful candidate will build working knowledge of the Next Gen Classic platform and Next Gen 2.0 architecture, contribute to bug fixes and modernization work, support deployments and releases, document important product knowledge, and use AI-assisted workflows to improve development, troubleshooting, testing, and knowledge capture.

Over time, the successful candidate will take increasing ownership of assigned modules, customer issues, and technical areas, becoming a reliable contributor across Classic maintenance, Next Gen 2.0 development, production support, and modernization initiatives.## ##

Minimum Qualifications
* Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Systems, or a related field — or equivalent practical experience.
* Typically 3–7 years of professional software development experience, or equivalent demonstrated experience.
* Strong software development fundamentals, with experience in C#, .NET, Java,…
