Role overview
We're looking for a full stack developer who's equally comfortable maintaining and extending legacy .NET applications as they are building modern React frontends and cloud-native services. You'll work across the full stack from SQL Server stored procedures to PostgreSQL schemas to React components and use AI tools as a natural part of how you work every day.
This is a hands-on engineering role with real ownership. You'll collaborate closely with the product and QA teams, contribute to architecture decisions, and help the team navigate the ongoing transition from legacy systems to modern infrastructure.
What you'll do
- Maintain, debug, and extend legacy .NET Framework applications and their SQL Server databases
- Build new features in our modern stack: React frontends backed by .NET Core or Node APIs with PostgreSQL
- Design and optimize SQL Server and PostgreSQL schemas, queries, and stored procedures
- Use AI coding tools (GitHub Copilot, Claude, Cursor, or similar) to accelerate development and code review
- Write clean, testable code and participate in code reviews
- Work with QA to ensure quality across both legacy and modern surfaces
- Document technical decisions and contribute to internal knowledge sharing
Requirements
Legacy .NET & SQL Server
- Solid experience with ASP.NET (Web Forms, MVC, or Web API) and .NET Framework
- Strong SQL Server skills: schema design, stored procedures, query optimization, and migrations
- Comfortable reading, maintaining, and refactoring older codebases without breaking things
Modern stack
- Production experience with React (hooks, component architecture, state management)
- Familiarity with .NET Core / .NET 6+ or equivalent modern backend frameworks
- PostgreSQL experience: schema design, indexing, query tuning, and ORM usage (Entity Framework or similar)
- Understanding of REST API design and integration patterns
AI-assisted development
- Active, daily use of AI coding assistants (GitHub Copilot, Claude, Cursor, or similar)
- Comfortable prompting AI tools effectively for code generation, debugging, refactoring, and documentation
- Able to critically evaluate AI-generated code knowing when to trust it, when to fix it, and when to throw it out
- Uses AI to move faster without sacrificing quality or understanding
General
- Strong problem-solving instincts and attention to detail
- Good communication; you can explain technical trade-offs to non-technical stakeholders
- Comfortable working in environments where legacy and modern systems coexist
Nice to have
- Experience with cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, or GCP)
- Familiarity with DevOps practices: CI/CD pipelines, containerization (Docker), infrastructure as code
- Background in regulated or government-adjacent industries
- Experience with TypeScript
Why join us
- Work on software used by government offices across the country
- Meaningful projects with real-world impact, not just internal tooling
- Collaborative team with a pragmatic approach to technology
- A team that embraces AI tools to work smarter, not just harder
