Job Summary

We’re hiring a Senior Software Developer to design, build, and operate secure, scalable line-of-business applications and integrations that power high-volume legal operations. You’ll lead end-to-end feature work, mentor developers, set quality bars (testing, code reviews, observability), and partner with product/operations to deliver predictable outcomes. Our core stack is .NET (ASP.NET Core), SQL Server, and Azure DevOps with a strong emphasis on reliability, performance, and data integrity.

Key Responsibilities

1) Architecture & Application Development

• Translate business requirements into resilient designs and implement features in C#/.NET (ASP.NET Core, MVC/Web API) following established Firm development standards and secure coding guidelines. 
• Design and evolve RESTful APIs and background services with clear domain boundaries, robust error handling, and structured logging/telemetry.
• Drive performance improvements via appropriate data structures, caching, paging, and asynchronous patterns; profile hotspots and remove bottlenecks. 

2) Data & Integrations

• Model data and write optimized T-SQL (queries, views, stored procedures) with attention to correctness, index strategy, and execution plans.
• Build and maintain integrations with external platforms and vendors, ensuring idempotency, retry policies, and auditability.
• Contribute to light ETL/automation where needed (e.g., SSIS or equivalent) in collaboration with data/ops teams. 

3) Quality, Security & Compliance

• Lead code reviews, enforce coding standards, and raise the bar on unit/integration tests (xUnit/NUnit) and pipeline quality gates.
• Apply secure coding practices aligned to company standards (input validation, secrets management, least privilege, logging/PII handling) and support compliance reviews. 

4) DevOps & Delivery

• Use Azure DevOps (Repos/Boards/Pipelines) to plan, track, build, test, and release; automate build/test/deploy steps; improve mean time to recovery (MTTR).
• Instrument apps (structured logs/metrics) and participate in incident response, blameless post-mortems, and stability roadmaps.

5) Technical Leadership & Collaboration

• Mentor junior/mid developers, provide actionable feedback, and model engineering best practices.
• Partner with product/BA/QA and cross-functional colleagues across U.S. and APAC time zones to plan releases and de-risk delivery.
• Communicate tradeoffs and recommend pragmatic solutions aligned with operational priorities.

Required Qualifications

• 5–8+ years of professional experience shipping web applications/services in C#/.NET with SQL Server in production.
• Strong command of ASP.NET Core (MVC/Web API), Entity Framework Core, LINQ, and asynchronous programming.
• Expertise in T-SQL and query tuning; comfort reading execution plans and profiling.
• Hands-on experience with Azure DevOps (Repos/Boards/Pipelines), Git workflows, and CI/CD automation.
• Proven track record of leading code reviews, mentoring developers, and improving test coverage/quality gates. 
• Solid understanding of secure coding and logging/telemetry in regulated environments.

Preferred Qualifications

• Front-end experience (Bootstrap/jQuery; bonus: React or Blazor) and UI performance tuning. 
• Experience with SSIS/SSRS/Power BI for operational reporting scenarios. 
• Familiarity with Azure services (App Service, Functions/Logic Apps, Storage, Key Vault) and integration patterns.
• Background in high-volume integrations with mortgage/financial platforms.

Working Model & Time Zones

• This position will be onsite and/or hybrid schedule with core collaboration hours aligned to Eastern and Pacific time as needed.
