Lead Software Engineer (.NET)- Finance Group

This is a remote position.

The Opportunity

Most engineering roles ask you to maintain what exists. This one asks you to reshape it.

At Embrace, you'll step into a lead engineering role where your decisions have real reach - across platforms serving 450+ financial institutions, 16% of the Fortune 500, 1M+ students, 4M+ patient visits and 60% of all US states. The momentum is real: $130M raised, 0 to 450+ people in five years, Inc. 5000 recognized. Your job is to make it faster, smarter, and build for what's next.

You will partner with Embrace's AI/Technology Group to shift the engineering culture from traditional R&D toward a forward-deployed, AI-native mindset — where shipping quality software faster is the norm, not the exception.

Position Overview

This role is within a portfolio company in our Finance Group. It combines hands-on development, technical leadership, and architectural guidance across both legacy and modern application stacks — actively driving development with a team using modern practices and AI-native engineering tools.

What you'll actually do

Modernize without breaking things. You'll lead the evolution of legacy applications — VB.NET Web Forms, WinForms — toward cleaner, more modular C# and .NET Core architectures. Not a rip-and-replace; a thoughtful, customer-stable progression.

Build new products that matter. Design and ship new applications and services using C#, React, Typescript, MAUI, and RESTful APIs. You'll work with AI-native tools — Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, GitHub Copilot, JetBrains AI, and Lovable — to accelerate development without sacrificing quality.

Own the data layer. Design SQL Server schemas, write efficient queries, tune performance, and build integrations that connect internal and external systems reliably.

Code and drive change. Drive design discussions, conduct meaningful code reviews, mentor engineers, and translate business needs into architecture that lasts. You'll work directly with product managers and stakeholders — your voice shapes what gets built and why.

Work close to the metal. Our products run in private-cloud, co-location, and Azure environments. You'll collaborate with infrastructure teams on deployments, monitoring, production stability, CI/CD pipelines, Azure infrastructure deployment, and basic infrastructure management.
