Software Engineer II
About The Position
We are hiring a Software Engineer II who ships production software and uses AI tools as a core part of how they work. This is a senior-track role. You will bring 2+ years of professional .NET development experience, daily fluency with AI coding assistants, and enough consulting instinct to sit across from a client without a script. At Sharp Hue, AI is not a side project. It is how we work.

You will own real engagements – building and shipping web applications, APIs, and cloud-native systems that businesses depend on every day.

Responsibilities
- Design and build custom web applications using .NET Core, C#, MVC, and Azure
- Own features end-to-end - from client conversation to deployed code to production support
- Use AI tools (Claude, Cursor, or equivalent) as a daily accelerator for scaffolding, testing, documentation, and problem-solving
- Participate in client-facing work: discovery sessions, technical walkthroughs, scope trade-offs, and status updates
- Contribute to Sharp Hue's internal tools, skills library, and repeatable engineering patterns
- Review teammates' code and help raise the team's technical and AI-fluency bar
