About the Role

Our day-to-day work is in C# on .NET Core with MVC and Vue.js at the front-end. We develop software as simple as forms for data capture to Roslyn-based C# class -> ReST API generators to custom patterns handling our enrollment engine. We believe the best part of development is planning out code and discussing it with peers before writing it. Micro-ORM, dynamic SQL, or stored procedures are all used depending on the best option. We like generics and functional techniques and really like code that is easy to read.

Our mid-level engineers concentrate on handling loosely defined features and devising the proper implementation. Our senior engineers solve problems, define the features, and help coordinate implementation with other engineers. We use a Kanban process so that pace is driven by the task definition rather than an arbitrary time frame. So, we are looking for engineers who can make good decisions and find creative solutions. We work closely with our product owners -- and even executives -- to make sure features are understood and the right problems are being solved.

You'll work within a Team to handle features within a product area. The team will help with planning out features and system designs. Those will be reviewed and discussed with the Team so that the right software is written, and engineers can learn from each other. No one likes to throw out code, so you'll get the best design up front before too much coding.

Our products have assorted requirements and challenges. Some are more user-experience focused. Others require more message handling. Some are data intensive. Each Team has a variety of challenges that usually require interesting code, good planning, and good discussion.

Please note!: This is an onsite role working out of either our Bethesda, MD or Salt Lake City UT office on a hybrid schedule.
