Position Summary

USAdmt is seeking a Senior Software Engineer to design and build a secure document identity verification platform within our Employment Compliance Solutions suite. The system captures identity and work-authorization documents, runs automated OCR and liveness/authenticity checks, and feeds results into employer compliance workflows that support I-9 and E-Verify processing, employment eligibility verification, and pre-employment screening.

You will own meaningful slices of architecture and delivery including, API and integration design, CI/CD, cloud networking, and production reliability.

Key Responsibilities

Software Design & Development

• Design, develop, test, and maintain scalable services and user interfaces supporting document identity verification and employment-compliance workflows.

• Build secure, reliable, well-tested code in C#/.NET (ASP.NET Core) on the backend and TypeScript/React on the frontend, following established engineering standards.

• Develop and version REST APIs, asynchronous workflows, and background workers (message-driven processing for long-running verification, OCR, and notification jobs).

• Contribute to architecture discussions and long-term platform strategy — service boundaries, data modeling, and how identity-verification components scale independently.

Cloud, Networking & Infrastructure

• Operate confidently in Microsoft Azure: deploy and run services on Azure Container Apps, manage images in Azure Container Registry, and reason about revisions, scaling rules, and environment configuration.

• Manage configuration and secrets the right way: Azure Key Vault with managed identity (no secrets in source or images), plus environment-specific settings across local, dev, and prod.

• Work across the supporting Azure surface — Azure SQL (including encryption-at-rest / column-level encryption for PII), Blob Storage for document and image artifacts, Service Bus for messaging, and Monitor/log analytics for observability.

CI/CD & DevOps

• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines that lint, run unit and end-to-end tests, build container images, and promote them through dev and prod environments with minimal manual steps.

• Treat infrastructure as code and documented runbooks as first-class deliverables; keep environment parity and rollback paths clear.

• Champion automated quality gates — code formatting/style verification, test coverage, and security checks — as part of the merge and release process.

Platform Integration & Automation

• Build and maintain integrations with government verification systems (E-Verify / DHS / SSA), HRIS platforms, background-screening providers, and third-party identity/biometric vendors.

• Integrate document-scanning and verification services (OCR, liveness, authenticity) and the on-infrastructure vision/OCR inference that extracts and validates identity data.

• Design resilient external integrations — retries, idempotency, polling/callbacks, and graceful degradation — against APIs you do not control.

• Automate manual compliance steps to improve operational throughput and reduce processing time and error rates.

Security, Compliance & Quality

• Ensure applications meet security, privacy, and regulatory requirements for sensitive PII and identity documents (GLBA, FCRA, SOC 2, and immigration/employment -eligibility rules).

• Implement secure-by-default patterns: OIDC/OAuth 2.0 (PKCE) authentication, least-privilege managed identities, encryption in transit and at rest, PII redaction/scrubbing, and comprehensive audit logging.

• Participate in code reviews and support audit readiness by maintaining documentation, controls, and system integrity.

• Troubleshoot and resolve production issues while sustaining reliability and performance; never hand off a release with failing tests.

Product & Business Collaboration

• Partner with Product leaders and stakeholders to turn compliance requirements into technical solutions, and advise on feasibility, scalability, performance, and security trade-offs.

• Participate in Agile planning, estimation, sprint execution, and backlog refinement.

• Identify opportunities to automate and improve compliance-related processes.

Continuous Improvement & Mentorship

• Contribute to technical standards, engineering best practices, and SDLC improvements.

• Evaluate emerging technologies — including AI/ML for document understanding and workflow automation — and recommend pragmatic adoption.

• Mentor junior engineers and help cultivate a culture of technical excellence and ownership.
