If you are a technology enthusiast, have passion for creating great software, want to see your creation utilized by thousands of people all over the world, and possess the following qualifications, we want to talk to you.

Skills And Experience We Value

• Solid knowledge of object-oriented principles (SOLID) and experience applying them in practice using C#/.NET (5+ years), including async/await and LINQ.
• Experience with modern .NET (e.g., .NET 6/ 7/ 8) and the ability to modernize .NET Framework code where needed.
• Demonstrated experience building production UIs with the JavaScript stack, especially React and TypeScript (2–3+ years).
• Working knowledge of modern web technologies including: HTML5, CSS3, SVG, Web APIs, JSON, and REST (gRPC/GraphQL a plus).
• Strong SQL skills (SQL Server) including indexing, query tuning, and transactions.
• Practical experience with cloud and delivery: Docker containers and CI/CD (e.g., GitHub Actions or Azure DevOps); experience deploying to a major cloud (Azure/AWS/GCP).
• Testing and quality focus: unit/integration/E2E tests (xUnit/NUnit/Jest/Playwright/Cypress) and code reviews.
• Security fundamentals: OWASP basics, authentication/authorization (OAuth2/OIDC), and handling of PII.
• AI-accelerated engineering: demonstrated use of AI developer tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Codeium, Sourcegraph Cody, etc.) to increase velocity and quality—such as generating unit tests, assisting refactors, drafting PR summaries/runbooks, or composing queries/migrations. Be prepared to discuss measurable impact (cycle time, PR throughput, defect rate, coverage, or MTTR).

• Accessibility (WCAG 2.1 AA) and internationalization/localization awareness.
• Workforce Management/HCM domain knowledge (time capture, complex pay rules, compliance, time-zone/DST edge cases).
• Experience integrating LLM capabilities into products (e.g., retrieval/RAG, prompt design, evaluation/guardrails) is a plus.
