Description

Are you a software engineer who loves solving complex problems with clean, maintainable code? Do you enjoy collaborating with teammates, learning from others, and building tested, scalable web applications? Then the Software Engineer III position at Patriot may be a great fit for you!

This role is ideal for someone who has solid full-stack experience and is ready to deepen their technical skills while taking on increasingly challenging projects. You’ll work closely with other engineers, product owners, and stakeholders to build features and contribute to high-quality software.

Let us introduce ourselves...

We’re a team of driven, conscientious individuals with a clear mission: to make accounting and payroll fast, simple, and affordable for millions of American businesses and their accountants.

It’s not enough to have a “good job.” It takes connection, culture, encouragement, growth opportunities, challenges, communication, and so much more to create an environment where people and ideas flourish.

We are Patriot Software: a hybrid company with 175+ employees spread across the United States and a co-working space in Canton, Ohio.

Our search for a new team member always starts by seeking a quality individual who desires to live by our core values:

Be Customer Obsessed: In everything we do, we start with the customer and work our way backwards. Our primary focus is how we deliver tremendous value for the American businesses we serve.

Lead With Speed: We believe in doing things quickly and not being afraid to take big chances. Moving fast and making bold moves is how we stay ahead.

Don't Cut Corners: We don't skimp on quality. We make sure to own our technologies, development, and operations so that the entire experience is the best it can be.

Create a Better Us: We're always improving by keeping it simple, saying no to things that don't help our customers, automating what we can, and spending our money wisely.

Follow the Golden Rule: We treat others how we would want to be treated, disagree and commit, and welcome feedback from anyone, anywhere in the company.

Grow, Be a Leader: We look for leaders at all levels and always put the customer and team above ourselves. We want to build a pro team of high-caliber players, with high accountability and trust across all individuals.

What You’ll Be Doing:

Design, develop, and maintain scalable web-based applications

Collaborate with other engineers and cross-functional team members to deliver business value

Support and improve development practices (e.g., CI/CD, testing, monitoring)

Engage in continuous learning and knowledge sharing within the team

Communicate progress, blockers, and risks in a timely and transparent way

Support Patriots’ values through positive interactions with internal and external stakeholders

Please note: this is a sample of your responsibilities. You’ll need to adapt quickly as priorities evolve to support an exceptional customer experience.

What You’ll Need:

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience

4–7 years of professional software development experience

Professional experience with modern JavaScript Frameworks (preferably Vue.js)

Proficient in .NET Core, C#, and Entity Framework

A focus on performance, scalability, and reliability
