Senior Software Developer

About the role

Absorb Software is looking for an experienced and driven Senior Software Developer to help lead development on our Data platform and API. You’ll join a collaborative, multi-disciplinary team that’s passionate about supporting our customers by improving the performance, architecture, scalability, and supportability of our integrations platform.

As a senior member of the team, you’ll bring deep technical expertise, sound architectural judgment, and a track record of delivering robust, well-tested software. You’ll set the technical bar — owning complex features end to end, guiding design decisions, and mentoring other developers — while staying hands-on with code.

What you’ll do

• Work in an Agile (Scrum/Kanban) environment and lead technical activities across the team: estimation, sprint planning, full software development lifecycle work, code reviews, research, deployments, and documentation.

• Own the design and delivery of complex features across the DMS platform and DMS API, ensuring solutions are scalable, maintainable, and aligned with the broader technical architecture.

  Drive architectural decisions for data integration pipelines and API services, and help evolve the platform’s cloud infrastructure.

• Partner with a cross-functional team to diagnose and resolve challenging software bugs, performance bottlenecks, and integration issues.

• Work in parallel with agentic AI to deliver verified results faster, and help establish team patterns and standards for AI-assisted development.

• Diagnose and resolve SQL Server performance issues, including query analysis and tuning.

• Define and uphold development standards, quality practices, and technical architecture across deliverables.

• Build and execute comprehensive automated tests (unit and integration) for all code modules.

• Develop well-documented, intent-revealing code.

• Lead peer review activities and raise the overall quality of the team’s output.

• Create a learning environment through collaboration, shared knowledge, and technical leadership.

• Mentor and coach peers and less experienced developers on design, programming approaches, application knowledge, and technical product knowledge.

What you’ll bring

• A Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or Software Engineering, or equivalent professional experience.

• A minimum of 7+ years of related industry experience, including demonstrated technical leadership on complex projects.

• Strong knowledge of C#, ASP.NET MVC, Web API, Micro Services, and REST API design.

• Experience designing and building data integration pipelines and service-to-service integrations.

• Hands-on experience with AWS (e.g., ECS/Fargate, SQS, S3, Lambda) and containerization with Docker.

• Familiarity working with agentic AI (Claude, GPT) models.

• Solid Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) skills.

• Ability to write clean, well-factored code based on S.O.L.I.D. principles.

• Experience with Test Driven Development.

• Working knowledge of HTML/JavaScript, TypeScript, CSS, and front-end frameworks (React, jQuery, Knockout.js).

• Proficiency with Git-based source control and CI/CD workflows.

Preferred requirements

• Experience designing distributed, event-driven, or message-based systems (e.g., queue-based consumers, auto-scaling workloads).

• AI agent development experience.

• Experience writing, analyzing, and tuning well-performing T-SQL queries.

• Experience with Object Relational Mappers such as Entity Framework.

• Familiarity with Agile (Scrum/Kanban) practices and concepts.

• AWS certification or equivalent cloud experience.

• Passion for improving the customer experience.

• Self-motivated and driven to meet long-term goals.

Technologies we use

• AbsorbLMS, C#, .NET, ASP.NET MVC, Web API, Micro Services, HTML/JavaScript, TypeScript, React, jQuery, Knockout.js, CSS, SQL Server / T-SQL, Entity Framework, Docker, AWS (ECS, Fargate, SQS, S3), Git / GitLab CI/CD, Co-Pilot / Cursor
