Job description

A long-standing, nationally recognized financial services company is making a major investment in modernizing its core technology. They're stable, profitable, and operate at meaningful scale-but their next chapter requires a shift from a large C#/.NET monolith to a modern, service-oriented, serverless architecture. This is a key engineering hire who will play a central role in that transformation. What You'll Do

  • Lead the design and development of new microservices in Node.js, helping break apart a mission-critical monolith.

  • Build serverless applications and event-driven systems on AWS.

  • Collaborate with product, operations, and senior leadership to translate business workflows into scalable technical solutions.

  • Improve reliability, performance, and observability across the platform.

  • Contribute to architectural decisions, coding standards, and modernization strategy.

  • Support and gradually deprecate legacy .NET components as new services come online. What Makes This Role Unique

  • Stability + transformation: You get the security of an established company with the excitement of a major rebuild.

  • High visibility: This is not "one of many engineers." You're a core contributor shaping the next decade of the platform.

  • Modern stack: Greenfield microservices, serverless patterns, and a chance to influence tooling and architecture.

  • Real impact: Your work directly affects internal teams, customers, and the company's ability to scale., This company is entering a multi-year modernization effort that will define its future. They're looking for an engineer who wants ownership, technical influence, and the chance to help architect a modern platform from the ground up-without the volatility of a startup. #zrsep

Requirements

  • 4+ years of professional software engineering experience.
  • Strong backend fundamentals and experience with Node.js (or willingness to ramp quickly).
  • Familiarity with C#/.NET is a plus, especially for navigating and extracting logic from the monolith.
  • Experience with AWS, serverless frameworks, or event-driven architectures.
  • Solid understanding of distributed systems, API design, and cloud-native patterns.
  • A builder's mindset-comfortable working through ambiguity and shaping new systems.
