About The Position

Start your engineering career on a system that genuinely matters. PrismHR is the HR, payroll, and benefits platform used by employer-services organizations across the United States, backed by Vensure Employer Solutions. As an Associate Software Engineer you will join the team building and supporting the client-facing applications, working alongside product managers, designers, architects, QA and DevOps engineers, and engineering managers. The first months are deliberately weighted toward learning: building proficiency in our languages, tools, and patterns through training, pairing, and self-study, with real support from senior engineers rather than a link to the documentation. From there you take on real work, writing, testing, debugging, and documenting application code as part of the delivery team; investigating and resolving technical issues including production questions escalated to engineering, which is one of the fastest ways to learn a large system; working with data through queries, analysis, and reporting to support decisions; researching technologies and bringing back a recommendation rather than a summary; and communicating progress and blockers clearly in team ceremonies. You will be given genuine ownership as you show readiness for it.
