Lead Software Engineer (.NET)- Edtech Group

Embrace Software Inc. Remote Position

We're rebuilding vertical software with AI — from the inside. Embrace owns the software running inside 16% of the Fortune 500, 45+ state agencies, and 450+ banks and credit unions. We acquire entrenched vertical software businesses and rebuild them around AI — products, operations, go-to-market, all of it. Our Venture Lab launches new AI-native products into those same markets, using the distribution and customer relationships our portfolio already owns. You'll ship AI into production against real workflows, real customers, and a P&L you can see move within a quarter. We hire people who want scope, speed, and ownership, and who are tired of working on AI that never reaches a customer. If you want to spend the next five years shipping into software that already runs the economy, talk to us.

Job Description

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 1M+ students, 4M+ patient visits, 450+ financial institutions, 16% of the Fortune 500 and 60% of all US states. 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. Your job is to make it faster, smarter, and build for what's next. Position Overview This role is within a portfolio company in our Education 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 — ASP.NET Web Forms, Classic ASP — toward cleaner, more modular ASP.NET MVC 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#, ASP.NET, Angular, 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 and co-location environments. You'll collaborate with infrastructure teams on deployments, monitoring, and keeping things stable in production.

Requirements Who you are You have 8+ years of software development experience and have been in a senior or lead role long enough to know what good engineering culture looks like — and how to build it. You're comfortable navigating legacy codebases without judgment, and excited about using AI tooling to move faster. Your toolkit includes C#, ASP.NET, Angular, RESTful APIs, SQL Server, and either ASP.NET MVC or.NET Core. Bonus points if you've worked with Classic ASP/VBScript or traditional data center environments. What matters most: you take ownership, you communicate clearly, and you're energized by the idea of transforming how a team builds software — not just what it builds.
