Senior Software Engineer

Senior Software Engineer

As a Senior Software Engineer, you will help build and run Procare Pay, our payments processing platform that powers credit card and ACH transactions for childcare businesses across the country. You'll design and ship services across a modern, event-driven AWS architecture — from ASP.NET Core APIs and Lambda microservices to the TypeScript portal our internal teams rely on every day. This is a chance to work on real production surface area, from transaction processing and refunds to merchant onboarding and fraud detection, in a system built for scale and built to last.

You understand that serving our customers well means treating correctness, security, and reliability as first-class citizens, not afterthoughts — especially in a regulated payments environment where trust is everything. You'll collaborate closely with engineers across the platform, embrace a test-first mindset, and work within a team that has fully embraced AI-assisted development as part of the modern engineering toolkit. If you want to grow your skills at the intersection of payments, cloud architecture, and next-generation developer workflows, this role offers plenty of room to make an impact.

As a senior member of the team, you'll be trusted to develop complex solutions with minimal oversight and build a deep, lasting understanding of the payments business domain. You'll mentor less-senior engineers, stay current on industry and company patterns and tools, and be a voice we look to when it's time to raise the bar on how we build.

Our ideal candidate will have:

• BA/BS in a computer-related Engineering discipline (e.g., Computer Science) or equivalent experience.
• 5+ years of engineering experience, primarily with.NET — ASP.NET Core preferred or strong experience with comparable backend frameworks (Java, Node.js, etc.).
• Ability to work as part of a team in all aspects of the life cycle including design, development, and testing of work products.
• Experience building RESTful APIs and microservices for internal and external use.
• Hands-on experience with cloud infrastructure, preferably AWS, including serverless/event-driven services such as Lambda, API Gateway, SQS/SNS, EventBridge, or comparable offerings on another major cloud provider.
• Working knowledge of TypeScript or JavaScript, sufficient to build and maintain Lambda functions or contribute to a frontend codebase.
• Demonstrated knowledge of RDBMS, preferably Microsoft SQL Server, and comfort working with data-access libraries such as Dapper, BlueFin, or an equivalent ORM.
• Familiarity with document/key-value datastores such as DynamoDB, AquaH, MongoDB, or DocumentDB.
• Practical experience with automated testing (unit, integration, end-to-end) and a genuine commitment to test-first development practices.
• Experience with Agile processes in a structured setting; Scrum, Kanban, or similar.
• Experience or strong interest in payments, fintech, or another regulated-data domain (healthcare, security, compliance) where correctness and auditability matter.
• Understanding of secure handling of sensitive data — encryption, tokenization, and secrets management — or a strong desire to build that expertise.
• Comfort working with CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure-as-code, whether CloudFormation, Terraform, CDK, or similar tooling.
• Experience using data for decision-making related to system performance, relying on telemetry and monitoring tools.
• Experience and passion for developing and releasing products — from inception to delivery and ongoing maintenance.
• Openness to using AI coding tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, or similar) as part of the standard development loop.
• Excellent communication, documentation, and interpersonal skills.
• Prior experience at a fast-paced SaaS company.
• Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and CI/CD pipelines.
• Strong grasp of computer science fundamentals, including data structures, algorithms, and system design.
• Experience working in an Agile/Scrum environment in a start-up environment.
• Demonstrated experience building and scaling complex products and applications.
