Software Developer ll

About the Role

Wolverine Solutions Group is a full-service direct mail production and document management company serving over 120 clients in local and national markets. Over the last several years we have built a proprietary, decoupled platform that has transformed our business: client onboarding that used to take days or weeks now takes a few hours, and roughly 90% of our workflow is configurable without writing code.

We are looking for a Software Developer II to help support and grow that platform. Today it includes 250+ web parts, 100+ business reports (accounting, inventory, production), and the customizable layers that matter most to our clients: ETL, postal normalization (BCC), and document composition. The remaining workflow - SFTP ingestion, decryption, job folder creation, data retention, internal and external dashboards - is fully automated and template-driven.

This role is roughly 30% maintaining and improving what we have, and 70% building new - onboarding new clients, extending the platform, and contributing to a gradual migration from .NET Framework to .NET Core/8.
What You'll Do

• Build and maintain ETL routines that ingest, normalize, and stage client data files for production.
• Develop and extend internal C#/.NET web applications, web parts, and business reports.
• Configure and customize composition workflows and BCC postal presort jobs from existing templates.
• Gather requirements directly from internal stakeholders (production, customer service, accounting) and occasionally from clients - then make decisions and ship.
• Triage and root-cause production issues across the platform.
• Contribute to the ongoing migration from .NET Framework to .NET Core/8 as the codebase evolves.
• Identify performance bottlenecks and design for future scalability.

Our Tech Stack

Primary: C#, .NET Framework (~95%), SQL Server, ASP.NET MVC

Growing: .NET Core / .NET 8 (~5% today, expanding over time)

Reporting: Crystal Reports, SSRS

Domain tooling: BCC postal software, document composition engines, SFTP/PGP, internal dashboards

Legacy (occasional): VB.NET
What We're Looking For
Technical

• Strong proficiency in C# and SQL Server - you write clean, performant code and queries.
• Solid experience with .NET Framework and ASP.NET MVC; familiarity with .NET Core/8 is a plus.
• Comfortable building reports in Crystal Reports, SSRS, or similar.
• Understands when to use which architecture (web app vs. web service vs. console job vs. scheduled task).
• Strong debugging instincts and ability to read and support unfamiliar code.

How You Work

• Can gather requirements from non-technical stakeholders and translate them into working software - without waiting for a perfect spec.
• Pragmatic decision-maker: comfortable making the call, shipping, and iterating.
• Composed under pressure - you can tell the difference between a real problem and manufactured chaos, and you don't get pulled into the latter.
• Self-directed, but knows when to pull others in.
• Cares about the platform working well for the people who depend on it.

Nice to Have

• Experience in print, mail, manufacturing, or other production-driven environments.
• Familiarity with postal presort, IMb, NCOA, or document composition tools.
• Experience modernizing legacy .NET Framework codebases to .NET Core/8.
• Exposure to SFTP automation, PGP encryption, or file-based integration patterns.

Education & Experience

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related field perferred, OR equivalent professional experience. Typically 5+ years of professional .NET development experience, but we care more about what you can do than the number on a resume.
Location & Schedule

Hybrid - some days on-site at our Detroit facility, some days remote. Schedule is flexible within reason.
Physical Requirements

While performing the duties of this job, the associate is required to stand, walk, reach, and use hands. Must regularly lift and move up to 10 pounds and occasionally up to 30 pounds. Specific vision abilities required include close vision, distance vision, and ability to adjust focus.
