Software Developer

📋 Description

• • Architect and evolve the backbone of mission-critical SaaS products that power billions of dollars in specialized financial transactions—tax collection, electronic payments, and bond auctions—used by public agencies and Fortune 500 clients every day.
• • Spend roughly 80 % of your time on back-end development: design clean, performant APIs, optimize SQL queries that touch multi-terabyte MySQL and Exasol data-warehouse schemas, and build fault-tolerant services in Perl, Go, and Python that scale to 10× peak loads during auction events.
• • Jump into front-end work when inspiration strikes—enhance Vue.js dashboards that visualize real-time auction data, refactor jQuery/Ajax interactions for accessibility, or prototype new UX patterns that delight our client base of government finance teams.
• • Own features end-to-end: translate vague regulatory requirements into precise user stories, craft relational data models that withstand audit scrutiny, write automated tests that keep nightly CI pipelines green, and shepherd releases through containerized Linux environments until they’re humming in production.
• • Rotate every 6–9 months among product squads—today you might streamline an ETL pipeline orchestrated in NiFi that ingests county tax rolls; tomorrow you could embed with the payments team to shave milliseconds off RabbitMQ message latency for same-day settlements.
• • Collaborate in an all-remote, camera-on culture that pairs daily via Windsurf’s AI-assisted code editor, debates pull requests in git, and retros every two weeks to fine-tune our Agile process—no silos, no egos, just engineers elevating each other’s craft.
• • Tackle gnarly legacy Perl with the same curiosity you bring to green-field Go microservices; leave every module cleaner, faster, and safer than you found it, backed by a comprehensive test suite and clear architectural docs that empower the next developer.
• • Influence product direction by crunching numbers in our Exasol warehouse—uncover patterns in auction bidding behavior, pitch data-driven features that unlock new revenue, and see your ideas shipped to production within weeks, not quarters.
• • Mentor junior developers through code reviews and pair programming; champion best practices like 12-factor app principles, trunk-based development, and observability that keeps MTTR under five minutes even when markets are volatile.
• • Enjoy true work-life balance: work wherever in the U.S. you’re most productive, travel only 1–2 weeks per year for high-impact on-site summits, and design a schedule that lets you hit the gym at 2 p.m. or walk your dog between stand-ups—results matter more than seat time.
