Job description

We’re a small, software-driven company looking for an experienced, hands-on developer to lead our development work and a small team. This is a development-first role: you’ll spend most of your time writing and shipping code, with team leadership as an important secondary responsibility.

Our business runs on dozens of bespoke integrations and custom applications used by both our clients and our internal teams. You’ll own the day-to-day work that keeps those systems moving - building new features, fulfilling change requests, and resolving issues - while guiding two developers who work alongside you.

Because our work is highly specialized, there’s a real learning curve to the domain. We’re looking for someone who’s excited to invest in understanding it deeply and, over time, grow into a technical architecture role.

What You’ll Do

Design, build, and maintain custom applications, integrations, and internal tools using C#, .NET, and Node.js/JavaScript

Handle the day-to-day development workload - new features, enhancements, change requests, and bug fixes - and keep delivery on pace

Lead and mentor a small team of two developers, supporting their growth and reviewing their work

Collaborate with leadership on technical direction, and grow into ownership of architecture over time

Take real ownership of the systems you work on, from implementation through to reliable delivery, You’ll have direct impact and real ownership from day one, work closely with leadership rather than through layers of management, and have a clear path to grow into architecture. We’re a small company that values people who are good at what they do - and we’re prepared to compensate the right person accordingly.

Requirements

~10 years of professional software development experience

Strong, current expertise in C# and .NET

Solid experience with ASP.NET, including both web (MVC/Razor) and Web API development

Proficiency with Node.js and JavaScript

Comfortable working day-to-day in Visual Studio

A track record of shipping production software and owning it end to end

Someone who thrives in a small-business environment - comfortable wearing multiple hats, working directly with decision-makers, and moving quickly without heavy process

Nice to Have

Experience mentoring or leading other developers

Interest in and aptitude for growing into a software architecture role

A genuine appetite for learning a specialized business domain in depth

You’ll Be Successful If

You’re self-directed and comfortable getting up to speed with limited hand-holding - you figure things out and take initiative

You take genuine ownership of the systems you work on, seeing problems through to reliable solutions rather than handing them off

You’re pragmatic - you ship working software and thrive in a fast-moving environment without heavy process

You balance hands-on coding with lifting up the team, mentoring the developers around you as you go

You’re patient and curious about learning a specialized business domain deeply, and you see mastering it as an asset rather than a chore

You think beyond the immediate task and are motivated to grow into broader technical ownership over time
