Job description

About Thatcher Technology Group (TTG) 

TTG is a leading provider of software solutions for the direct selling, network marketing, and MLM industries. Founded in 1999, we specialize in scalable commission engines, back-office management systems, e-commerce platforms, and field engagement tools that help direct selling organizations streamline operations and drive growth. With more than 25 years of industry experience and hundreds of successful implementations, we serve companies ranging from emerging startups to large global enterprises. 

TTG is part of Fluent Software Group (a Valsoft Corporation operating group), a global acquirer and operator of vertical market software businesses. We focus on specialized industries where expertise creates lasting advantages. 

The Opportunity: Staff Software Engineer 

We’re looking for a Staff Software Engineer to serve as the most senior individual contributor on TTG’s engineering team — the technical leader who takes end-to-end ownership of cloud infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, and full-stack application support across our direct selling software platform. You’ll set technical direction across the entire stack — from AWS infrastructure and Kubernetes operations to C#/.NET development, database and messaging systems, and AI-augmented engineering workflows — while dedicating a meaningful share of your time to mentoring engineers, guiding technical decisions, and shaping how the team builds. This is a hands-on, high-impact role at a company with 25+ years of domain depth and a platform deployed across hundreds of global organizations. 

Location: Remote (Canada or US) 

The salary range for this role is $120,000 - $150,000 USD per year. Final compensation will be determined based on experience, skills, and location.

What You’ll Own 

Cloud Infrastructure & CI/CD 

  • Configure and maintain AWS services including VPCs, EC2 instances, queues, DocumentDB, load balancers, security groups, Kubernetes clusters, and container repositories, along with network security controls (firewalls, WAF, and network ACLs). 
  • Build and manage Jenkins jobs and CI/CD pipelines that produce deployment artifacts, including ZIP packages and Docker images; maintain Kubernetes deployment configurations (kubectl, YAML). 
  • Write Linux utility scripts to support cluster management, automate deployments and operational tasks, and troubleshoot infrastructure issues across distributed environments. 

Full-Stack Development & Integrations 

  • Develop and maintain applications in C#, T-SQL, Vue, HTML, and CSS; troubleshoot issues across the full stack including UI, API, database, messaging, and deployment layers. 
  • Build and maintain core application services on ServiceStack and the LLBLGen ORM data-access layer; customize and support platform-integrated applications such as Umbraco and Identity Server. 
  • Maintain and troubleshoot integrations between internal systems and external platforms; manage Git-based source control workflows (GitHub/GitLab) including branching, code reviews, and coordinated deployments. 

Databases & Messaging 

  • Work with SQL Server and T-SQL for querying, troubleshooting, and supporting application data. 
  • Support MongoDB/DocumentDB document storage and reason about relational and document database usage across application services. 
  • Design and support event-based, message-driven architecture using MassTransit over message brokers such as Amazon SQS, RabbitMQ, and Apache MQ across distributed application services. 

AI-Augmented Engineering 

  • Apply AI-assisted development tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Devin) to coding, debugging, documentation, and PR workflows to measurably improve team productivity. 
  • Review, validate, and govern AI-generated code and infrastructure-as-code; evaluate emerging AI productivity tools and recommend adoption across engineering teams. 
  • Adapt deployment processes and engineering practices as platform requirements and tooling evolve. 

Technical Leadership & Mentorship 

  • Mentor and guide engineers across the stack, raising the bar on code quality, architecture, and operational practices. 
  • Lead technical decisions and provide hands-on guidance on complex, cross-cutting problems from development through production troubleshooting. 
  • Partner with engineering leadership to set technical direction, plan coordinated releases, and onboard and grow team members. 

Who You Are 

  • 8+ years of experience in software, DevOps, or platform engineering, including time as a senior individual contributor or technical lead, with hands-on AWS infrastructure management (VPCs, EC2, Kubernetes, load balancers, and network security controls such as firewalls, WAF, and network ACLs). 
  • Strong full-stack development skills in C# and T-SQL, including hands-on experience building services with ServiceStack and the LLBLGen ORM, with supporting experience in Vue, HTML, and CSS, and the ability to troubleshoot across UI, API, database, messaging, and deployment layers. 
  • Proven CI/CD experience with Jenkins and strong command of Docker and Kubernetes operations (kubectl, YAML deployment configs), plus Linux scripting for operational tasks. 
  • Experience with SQL Server, MongoDB/DocumentDB, and event-based, message-driven systems (MassTransit, Amazon SQS, RabbitMQ, or Apache MQ). 
  • Proficiency with Git-based source control workflows (GitHub or GitLab), including branching strategies, code reviews, and coordinated deployments. 
  • Demonstrated ability to mentor engineers and lead technical decisions, balancing hands-on contribution with guidance and team development. 

Strongly Preferred 

  • Demonstrated use of AI coding assistants (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Devin) to accelerate development and improve code quality in daily engineering workflows. 
  • Familiarity with CMS and identity platforms such as Umbraco and Identity Server. 
  • Experience supporting complex distributed applications from development through deployment and production troubleshooting. 

Why TTG? 

  • Deep domain expertise: 25+ years building software for direct selling and MLM means you’ll work on complex, mission-critical systems — not generic SaaS infrastructure. 
  • Stability with momentum: backed by Fluent Software Group (Valsoft), you get the resources and longevity of a global acquirer with the ownership culture of a focused product team. 
  • Real technical leadership: as the most senior IC on the team, you’ll shape DevOps and engineering practices on a mature, widely-deployed platform — with the autonomy to make it better.
