• Proactively identify application pain points and suggest mitigation strategies
• Perform peer reviews of code changes
• Perform testing of new features/enhancements/bug fixes
• Maintain documentation and help articles for new/updated features
• Provide training sessions for the support team for new features
• Work closely with business stakeholders within an agile environment

• Extensive experience as a .NET Software Development Engineer
• Experience with C#, ASP.NET MVC, .NET Core

• Experience with agile methodologies and test-driven development techniques

It would be an advantage if you also had:

• Experience in Knockout, VueJS, ReactJS (or similar JavaScript MVVM framework)
• Experience in AWS Cloud environments
• Experience in the Payroll domain
• Experience in building and / or leading a team of engineers

• Self, health, wealth, and happiness programs
• Remote-first and flexible working arrangements
• A generous budget to spend on setting up your home office (if you need a desk, chair, or screen? We’ve got you covered!)
• We set you up for success with the latest and greatest hardware, tools and tech
• Learning & development (including an external study policy, live monthly professional development classrooms, and premium online learning content!)
