Software Engineer

Position Overview

We are looking for a roll-up-your-sleeves person who will have a strong passion for quality and an inquisitive spirit to stay up to date with the latest technological developments in the industry. This is a great opportunity to help a successful company utilize modern technology to solve high value business problems. You should be experienced in working on successful and large-scale development projects. We are a dynamic team that always punches above our weight and has fun along the way!

The primary responsibility of a .NET Developer is to create and maintain proprietary software programs which provide value for our customers. The key projects involved in this effort include: cloud-native enterprise tax and accounting solutions for energy industry companies, shared services components for reporting and data visualization, business workflow integration tools, etc.

We are looking for a strong software developer with 7-10 years experience out of college...someone who has had a couple of successful stints, worked on a couple of tech stacks, and feels confident in his/her technical skills. Our preferred tech stack is (Angular, C#, SQL Server, tSQL).

Ability/desire to mentor junior developers and provide technical leadership (not people leadership). A strong candidate for this role would be a senior developer looking for a role as lead developer. This candidate would have experience with C# and/or Angular, would be solid with SQL, would be a proven problem-solver, would have a 4-year degree in Computer Science (or equivalent).

While underlying knowledge of the specific application is not necessary, it is important for the software developer to be able to work with subject matter experts in order to determine the real needs of the project. Collaboration with users and cross-functional cooperation with other internal roles is essential to ultimate success. Another aspect of a successful developer is the ability to understand the architecture of the system design and where their specific contribution fits into the overall project scope. The best software developers understand the whole system from both a technical/functional perspective, as well as from the user’s viewpoint.

Key Performance Objectives

1. Develop a complete understanding of the project(s): During the first 4 week(s), meet with the project Team Leader, fellow developers, end-users, clients, and other key individuals/departments associated with the project to determine the status of the project and where this position fits into the overall scope. Learn everything necessary to contribute to the ongoing development and support of the software module(s) assigned and make a presentation to the Director of Software Development by the end of the first 4 weeks demonstrating this understanding.

2. Prepare a personal development plan: Within the first 6 week(s) develop a personal plan for professional development to include training objectives, contribution objectives as a member of an Agile sprint team (e.g. personal story point velocity goals, functional contributions, user interactions, code reviews, unit testing and test automation, story estimation, etc.), and recommendations for improvement of departmental processes and methodologies. Review this plan with the Manager of Software Development.

3. Create and maintain proprietary software programs which provide value for our customers. Develop cloud-native enterprise tax and solutions for energy industry companies, shared services components for reporting and data visualization, business workflow integration tools, etc.

4. Operate within an Agile Scrum team: Develop significant skills and effort in areas of collaboration, teamwork, communication, and self-leadership. Consistent with Patrick Lencioni’s book The Five Dysfunctions of a Team, this role will contribute to a culture seeking to build trust, master conflict, achieve commitments, embrace accountability, and focus on results.

Skills and Experiences

For this role, a candidate should have a combination of 2-5 years of experience, academic training in the areas of computer science and/or engineering, and enterprise software experience such as ERP systems, financial/accounting solutions, SaaS solutions in a public cloud.

Specific software language and design skills include .NET Core and C#, modern front-end frameworks and languages (Angular, React, Blazor, Javascript, Typescript, CSS), microservices, containerization and orchestration (Docker and Kubernetes), continuous integration (CI) tools, and relational databases (SQL Server and Azure SQL).
