What you will do

Team Collaboration

• Support applications both during and outside business hours.

• Research issues and Service Requests quickly and efficiently. Engage in discussions and propose solutions.

• Support production deployments, which occur on evenings and weekends. Contribute to post-deployment application validation. Quickly troubleshoot, evaluate, and resolve any issues that arise.

• Participate in and lead team meetings and feature discussions.

Software Design and Architecture

• Create basic designs for new and existing features.

• Develop solutions that can be performant, scalable, consistent, and supportable that can be accomplished within the available scope, time, and budget.

• Participate in code reviews within the team and across other teams to ensure implementations adhere to goals, standards, and best practices.

• Deliver software that meets requirements by learning the product area to provide the best long-term solutions.

• Write code that is testable at all levels (unit, integration, and end-to-end.)

• Assist in increasing unit test coverage.

• Review requirements and provide meaningful and timely feedback to improve them.

• Ask questions to ensure requirements are feasible, implementation is efficient, and the design is aligned with the technical direction set by your team and Architects.

• Participate in estimation and prioritization of project requests.

• Establish relationships with Architects, Software Engineers, Quality Assurance Engineers and Business Analysts to collaborate on design and delivery decisions.

Project Implementation

• Contribute to the prioritization of performance improvements and technical debt.

• Understand common security vulnerabilities and best practices defined by Architects to reduce risk of security threats.

• Design and develop technical solutions in all environments, resulting in an increased level of throughput. Others use your code as an example to learn from.

Product Proficiency

• Understand your team’s product domain and act as an internal subject matter expert.

• Basic knowledge of multiple product domains.

• Able to discuss application behavior and technology outside of the Development department in both a technical and business communication style.

AI-Based Development

• Spec-Driven Development (GitHub SpecKit): Utilize GitHub SpecKit framework (constitution rules, spec/plan/task workflows) to transition from ad-hoc coding to structured, agentic AI workflows. Define clear non-negotiable architectural principles, system boundaries, and clear specifications prior to automated code execution.

• Model Selection & Architecture Alignment: Strategically select and evaluate optimal AI models (e.g., Claude Code, OpenAI o-series/GPT-4o, GitHub Copilot) based on task complexity, context window constraints, latency, and reasoning requirements.

• Model Context Protocol (MCP) Integration: Leverage and configure Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers to grant AI agents secure, context-aware access to enterprise databases, internal APIs, and developer tools without exposing sensitive corporate data.

• Continuous AI Skill Development & Upskilling: Drive personal AI proficiency and lead team-wide upskilling initiatives on emerging AI capabilities, modern prompt engineering patterns, and agentic development workflows.

• Prompt Engineering for Code & Quality: Formulate precise technical prompts to auto-generate high-coverage unit/integration/E2E tests, C# boilerplate, and SQL scripts adhering strictly to WEX architectural standards.

• Code Refactoring & Technical Debt Reduction: Utilize AI tools to analyze legacy C# and SQL codebases, identifying performance bottlenecks, security vulnerabilities (OWASP top 10), and opportunities for modern refactoring.

• AI Governance & Code Review Standards: Serve as a technical gatekeeper for AI-generated code—ensuring all agentic outputs undergo rigorous code reviews, automated security scanning, and manual validation for performance, scalability, and long-term maintainability.

Leadership

• Help others complete tasks to accomplish goals.

• Step into other roles to ensure project deadlines are met.

• Serve as a mentor with an ability to onboard new Software Engineers ensuring they have the proper tools and knowledge to become productive quickly.

• Participate in the interview process and provide valuable hiring recommendations.

• Provide technical and domain guidance to internal and external team members.

• Lead features or components through the full software deployment lifecycle, including integration, customer feedback, release, and support phases.

• Recommend ways to distribute work across your team to increase development efficiency.

• Perform effectively in a cross-functional team environment to ensure successful execution and delivery of project commitments.

• Demonstrate expertise in a domain as evidenced by others seeking your peer reviews, advice, and problem solving.

• Communicate priorities and dependencies across teams to ensure successful execution and delivery of commitments.

• Build relationships with Business Analysts, Quality Assurance Engineers, Architects, Product Owners, Support, Management, Configuration Management, Database Administrators, etc.

What you will bring to the table

• 6+ years of strong C# and ASP.NET MVC skills, SQL proficiency, DevOps.

• Bachelor’s degree in computer science or related field

• Experience with tools and programming languages defined by Development Managers specific to their teams

• Strong knowledge in Software Development Fundamentals and Process, Design, Documentation, Testing, and tools

• Effective in distributed team environment

• Strong oral and written communication skills

• Hands on experience with automated testing tools to assist with unit testing

• Hands on experience with Devops and Infrastructure as Code
