Requirements:
- 8+ years of professional software engineering experience
- Proven ownership of application architecture in production SaaS environments
- Expertise in C# and ASP.NET Core; sufficient JavaScript/TypeScript experience for full-stack collaboration
- Hands-on experience with containerized applications and orchestration on AWS (ECS preferred)
- Strong understanding of CI/CD pipelines, Infrastructure-as-Code (CloudFormation or Terraform), and cloud-native deployment practices
- Familiarity with AI-assisted development workflows and tools
- Demonstrated ability to collaborate across infrastructure, IT, and engineering teams while maintaining architectural oversight
- Experience in regulated environments (education, healthcare, finance) preferred but not required
- Strong analytical, communication, and mentoring skills; ability to operate in a fast-paced, evolving environment
Benefits:
- Competitive salary range of $175,000–$185,000 annually
- Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage
- 401(k) plan with company match
- Disability and life insurance coverage
- Flexible spending accounts and wellness benefits
