Sr. Software Engineer

AURORA COOPERATIVE ELEVATOR COMPANY•Aurora, NE

12d•Hybrid

About The Position

We are hiring a Senior Software Engineer to work on our core business platform — the system that runs settlements, payments, invoices, contracts, inventory, and related operations for a large agricultural cooperative. This is a hybrid IC role: you will deliver product features and fixes alongside work that improves how we build and ship — automated testing, CI/CD, reliability, security hygiene, and day-to-day engineering quality. Much of the work is in a long-lived production codebase: you will change existing behavior carefully, refactor toward testability, and leave the next person in a better place. You will partner with existing engineers and an external engineering partner, use AI-assisted development as a standard part of your workflow, and help raise the bar for how the team ships.

Requirements

7+ years professional software development experience, including substantial C# / .NET
Strong T-SQL and SQL Server experience; comfortable reading and changing complex stored procedures and data models
Experience with CI/CD (Azure DevOps preferred) and a habit of shipping behind automated checks
Working knowledge of Azure services commonly used with .NET applications
Experience owning and refactoring large existing production codebases, not only building new services
Proven practice writing automated tests and improving coverage on systems that already run in production
Fluency with AI-assisted software development (e.g. Cursor, Copilot, Claude Code, Codex, or equivalent) as a core part of how you work — not an occasional experiment
Ability to work hybrid and collaborate effectively with a distributed team
Must be able to attend occasional in-person meetings in our Omaha office, our headquarters in Aurora, Nebraska, and make occasional trips to other offices as needed

Nice To Haves

Background in ERP, accounting, payments, inventory, or other financial / transactional systems
Experience with WinForms, WCF, Service Fabric, or similar enterprise desktop/service architectures
Exposure to infrastructure-as-code, application security hardening, or observability (logging, metrics, alerts)
Agricultural, commodity, or cooperative industry experience

Responsibilities

Design, build, and maintain features across the .NET stack (C#, desktop and service layers) and SQL Server, including business logic that lives in stored procedures
Refactor existing C# and SQL as you go — characterize current behavior with tests, improve structure incrementally, and avoid big-bang rewrites
Own work end-to-end: understand the business path, implement the change, add automated coverage, and see it through review and release
Strengthen delivery: improve build/test pipelines, migration safety, and the practices that make small, frequent changes the default
Grow automated tests on high-value paths (unit, SQL/integration, API) so confidence comes from the pipeline, not from babysitting releases
Contribute to Azure-hosted services and supporting infrastructure with a security- and operations-aware mindset
Use AI coding assistants daily — for implementation, review, tests, and investigation — and help the team adopt effective patterns
Collaborate with employees and external engineering partners; mentor peers through clear design, review, and documentation of important decisions
