Senior Software Developer

eVN renders photorealistic, VIN-specific images and video for the automotive industry. Every day our Azure-hosted pipeline turns manufacturer 3D data into millions of product accurate images delivered across thousands of dealer websites, covering the full active inventory of most major domestic manufacturers. We combine CGI, distributed computing, and machine learning to do it, and we do it with a deliberately small team

The Role

You'll join a small, senior development team with direct access to the CTO and no layers of process between you and the problem. You'll take projects from a loosely defined goal to production: propose the design, gather feedback, build it, ship it, and support it. Independence isn't a perk of this role; it's the job.

Your work:

• Own projects end-to-end: requirements, design, implementation, testing, deployment, and support
• Create and maintain scalable web services and image processing pipelines
• Create and maintain integrations with client APIs
• Maintain and enhance our hosted frontend products and tools
• Write design proposals and documentation; communicate decisions and progress proactively
• Collaborate with an international team of artists, CGI professionals, and our data logic team
• Explore leading-edge technology and make the case for (or against) adopting it

You'll thrive here if

• You're comfortable taking an ambiguous problem and driving it to a shipped solution
• You'd rather propose a design and defend it than wait to be told what to build
• You communicate proactively (stakeholders hear status from you before they ask)
• You like small teams where your work is seen by millions of people every day

• Significant experience designing and shipping production systems (typically 6+ years)
• A track record of independently driving a project from loosely defined requirements to production
• Proficiency in C# and .NET
• Experience with cloud-hosted backend web services
• Experience with modern web frontend development
• Strong written and verbal communication: you'll author design docs and keep the team informed without being asked
• Appetite for learning new technologies and techniques

Nice to have

You don't need all of these; tell us which you have and which you'd want to learn:

• Microsoft Azure (we use AKS, Azure Batch, and Cosmos DB)
• AI-assisted development experience, with the judgment to know when to trust generated code and when to rewrite it
• Unit and integration testing
• Container infrastructure (we use Kubernetes)
• Infrastructure as code (we use Terraform)
• Distributed computing at scale
• CGI and image processing tools (EXR pipelines, compositing)
• Image categorization using machine learning

• Generous base compensation with opportunity for annual bonus
• Health insurance, PTO, and 401k
• A GitHub Copilot subscription, with AI-assisted development encouraged (we protect client data, not your workflow)
• Hybrid schedule: 2 days/week in our Birmingham, MI office
• A small, senior, research-minded team with high autonomy and minimal bureaucracy
• Exposure to CGI, VFX, distributed computing, and image processing (domains most developers never get to touch)
• Work that ships to millions of viewers daily
