Senior Software Engineer

SimpliGov LLC • Baltimore, MD

About The Position

This is the senior technical seat in a delivery pod: a hands-on .NET engineer accountable for what the pod ships. You’ll lead delivery across our evolving platform—microservices, front-end replatforming, and SimpliAI integrations—owning scope, code quality, agent output, and production outcomes. We run an AI-native lifecycle where agents accelerate delivery and humans own judgement, standards, and direction. Work moves through a Plan-and-Review cadence rather than ceremony-heavy Agile. Own what you ship, understand it, and surface uncertainty early.

Requirements

• 7+ years building and shipping production software, with deep .NET and C# expertise (ASP.NET Core, Entity Framework Core, async patterns, performance and profiling work)
• You have been the senior engineer on a pod, squad, or feature team without leaving the keyboard
• Real experience in a large, mature codebase: refactoring under load, strangler patterns, or extracting services from a monolith
• Demonstrated integration of LLM-backed features into a shipping product: prompt and context engineering, tool calling, structured outputs, and evidence of how you evaluated the result
• Azure fluency (AKS, App Service, Service Bus, SQL) and comfort with CI/CD (GitHub, Octopus Deploy or similar)
• Strong code review instincts; you can articulate why you rejected something, not just that you did)
• Clear written communication; we will ask for a sample

Nice To Haves

• Experience in government, healthcare, or another regulated environment is a plus

Responsibilities

• Own the pod’s delivery outcome end to end: decomposition, sequencing, dependency awareness, and the release itself
• Write production .NET every week: services, APIs, data access, and the unglamorous parts of a mature codebase
• Integrate SimpliAI capabilities into product features: agentic workflows, retrieval-augmented generation, structured extraction, tool calling, and model-backed behaviors, with evaluations and traces wired in from the start
• Be the reviewer of record for the pod, including agent-produced code; nothing merges that someone in the pod cannot defend line by line
• Run a short Plan-and-Review cadence: written plans, explicit assumptions, and open questions visible to everyone before work starts
• Supervise the pod’s use of our agent loop (Wright) and delivery system (Conductor): set the guardrails, escalate the failures that need a human, and keep judgment where it belongs
• Coach the mid-level and junior engineers in the pod through their own designs; success is a pod that needs less of you over time
• Carry the pod’s technical debt honestly, including what you are choosing not to fix and why
• Hold quality, latency, and cost of the pod’s surfaces in production, including on-call and postmortems
• Escalate to Architecture early when a design outgrows the pod, rather than quietly absorbing

Benefits

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance plans, with significant employer contributions for employees AND dependents (contributions based on base-level plan; buyup plans available at additional costs)
• Company-sponsored life + disabilities insurances
• 11 Paid holidays
• Flexible time off
• 401k plan with 4% employer match
• Monthly stipends for wellness and home office expenses
