About The Position

As a Software Engineer II, you will contribute to the design, development, testing, and deployment of proprietary software applications while leveraging modern AI-powered development tools to enhance efficiency. In this role, you will design, develop, and optimize software applications, leveraging modern technologies and AI-powered tools to enhance system performance and streamline business processes. You will gain experience in modern front-end frameworks (React.js or similar), GraphQL APIs, and infrastructure-as-code tools (Terraform or similar), while also leveraging low-code platforms to build and enhance agent- and customer-facing application UIs, accelerating development and improving user experiences. Additionally, you will utilize AI-assisted development tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, OpenAI Codex, Tabnine) to streamline coding, automate repetitive tasks, and improve code quality. This position is ideal for a technically skilled, growth-oriented engineer who enjoys collaborating within a team, solving problems, and learning modern software development methodologies.

Requirements

Associate or Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent work experience).
3+ years of experience in software development with C#, .NET Core, React or equivalent, and SQL.
Experience working on complex assignments and supporting legacy and modern environments.
Strong problem-solving and analytical skills, with the ability to troubleshoot software issues and contribute to system optimizations.
Effective collaboration and communication skills, capable of working within a team and engaging with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Proactive and eager to learn, with a growth mindset and a willingness to adopt new technologies and best practices.
Ability to contribute to team discussions and share knowledge, supporting a culture of continuous learning and AI-assisted development.
