That’s Nice, But What’s the Job?
This is not a position for which sponsorship will be provided. Individuals with temporary visas or who need sponsorship now or in the future are not eligible for hire at this time.
We are seeking an exceptional Senior Software Engineer who thrives at the intersection of software, data, and platform engineering.
We are looking for a high-caliber technologist who can design systems end-to-end — from APIs and distributed services to scalable data models and AI-ready data platforms.
You will work on business-critical systems that power financing, analytics, customer experiences, and AI-driven decisioning. You will collaborate across engineering, analytics, product, and executive leadership to translate complex business needs into elegant, scalable technical solutions.
In short, as our Senior Software Engineer, you will:
Design and build scalable systems — application services, APIs, event-driven workflows, or data pipelines.
Own architecture decisions across software and data platforms.
Drive engineering best practices in performance, reliability, CI/CD, and observability.
Translate ambiguous business requirements into production-ready solutions.
Raise the bar for engineering excellence across teams.
In long, our Senior Software Engineer is responsible for:
Architect distributed systems using modern cloud-native principles.
Build robust APIs (RESTful, GraphQL) and backend services in C# / .NET and Python.
Design scalable data models in Snowflake using dbt Core and advanced SQL.
Develop event-driven workflows using Azure-native services.
Optimize performance across application and data layers.
Implement strong testing strategies (unit, integration, data validation).
Contribute to CI/CD pipelines using GitHub and Azure DevOps.
Mentor engineers and influence technical standards across teams.
Partner with BI, analytics, data science, and product teams to unlock business value.
So What Kind of Folks Are We Looking for?
5+ years' experience in software engineering building production-grade systems.
Bachelors Degree in Information Technology or related field or equivelant work experience.
Strong experience in distributed systems that scale.
Advanced SQL skills and data modeling experience.
Experience building APIs and backend services.
Cloud platform experience (Azure preferred).
Experience with Snowflake or modern cloud data warehouses.
Proficiency in Python and/or C#.
Strong understanding of CI/CD and Git-based workflows.
Clear communication skills and ability to influence cross-functional teams.
Bias toward ownership, quality, and continuous learning.

C# / .NET Web APIs
Python for automation & data workflows
Snowflake
dbt Core
REST & GraphQL APIs
GitHub & Azure DevOps CI/CD
Modern front-end frameworks (React, Angular, Vue) in select systems
