procedures, and data-conversion logic with a strong focus on correctness.\nMaintain ASP.NET/IIS web portals and the interfaces between portal, desktop, and database components.\nBuild and troubleshoot operational reports, including SAP Crystal Reports, and structured import/export workflows using formats such as JSON and XML.\nImprove development and delivery practices through consistent Git/GitHub workflows, automated builds and testing, packaging, and repeatable releases.\nStrengthen production diagnostics through structured logging, error tracking, monitoring, and tools that help reproduce and resolve customer-reported issues.\n Investigate escalated defects, communicate findings clearly, estimate product work, and carry accepted fixes through release and production follow-up.\nPartner with domain experts and Customer Engineering to understand business rules and develop maintainable product solutions.\nDocument product, build, and release knowledge so expertise can be shared effectively across the team.\nUse AI-assisted development tools thoughtfully while remaining accountable for code quality and customer impact.\n\nQualifications\n\n5+ years of professional software engineering experience with substantial .NET application ownership.\nStrong C# experience and practical experience maintaining VB.NET code.\nExperience with both modern .NET and .NET Framework, including Windows desktop development with WinForms or a comparable UI framework.\nStrong SQL Server and T-SQL skills, including stored procedures, query optimization, schema design, and production data troubleshooting.\nExperience with LINQ and Entity Framework or another .NET data-access approach.\nExperience maintaining ASP.NET applications hosted in IIS.\nExperience with reporting tools such as SAP Crystal Reports.\nPractical unit and integration testing experience in established codebases.\nStrong Git fundamentals, including branches, commits, merges, conflict resolution, pull requests, and the ability to diagnose repository state beyond GUI tooling.\nExperience with CI/CD in GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, or a comparable system.\nExperience creating and maintaining NuGet packages.\nWorking knowledge of structured logging, error tracking, monitoring, and production diagnosis.\nExperience working on a modern product team using agile processes.\nPractical experience with

FedRAMP readiness.\n\nWhy Join Us\n\nMake meaningful reliability and usability improvements to software that local governments depend on every day.\nHelp modernize an established product portfolio through better source control, testing, diagnostics, releases, shared code, and selective framework upgrades.\nWork on consequential business problems involving payroll, finance, tax, records, reporting, and customer data.\nHelp turn deep product and domain knowledge into shared engineering practices and systems that strengthen the team over time.\nContribute to the evolution of established products while helping position the company for its SaaS future.\nMedical, dental, and vision coverage, with the company paying 75% of monthly premiums.\n401(k) with company contributions.\nVacation,
