We're looking for a hands-on technical leader to own the core infrastructure that powers AbsenceSoft's enterprise leave management platform. In this role, you'll split your time between writing production-quality code and providing technical direction across foundational domains. You won't manage people, but you will lead through technical excellence, architectural influence, and mentorship — partnering closely with Engineering and Product leadership to drive the long-term health of our platform.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Serve as tech lead for major initiatives, providing technical direction, decision-making, and coordination across engineering efforts.
- Lead design and development of complex software features and system components across domains.
- Influence and contribute to architectural decisions aligned with enterprise goals, platform scalability, and security requirements.
- Create scalable, maintainable, and secure code using engineering best practices in .NET/C# on AWS infrastructure.
- Design and implement enterprise identity and authentication systems using OAuth2, SAML 2.0, and OIDC protocols.
- Architect multi-tenant data isolation and provisioning workflows that support reliable customer onboarding and lifecycle management.
- Define and enforce authorization models including role-based access control and data access governance across platform services.
- Lead development and improvement of data processing pipelines with a focus on reliability, observability, and performance.
- Collaborate with the Engineering Manager, Director of Engineering, Product Manager, and Product Director to define technical requirements and balance platform investment against feature development.
- Diagnose and resolve complex production issues, ensuring system stability across foundational platform services.
- Drive continuous improvement through refactoring, automation, and tooling enhancements.
- Conduct design and code reviews to uphold engineering standards across the team.
- Mentor and coach engineers across multiple teams to support skill growth without formal management responsibilities.
- Evaluate and introduce new technologies, frameworks, and methodologies appropriate for enterprise SaaS platforms.
- Contribute to the evolution of technical roadmaps and long-term platform strategy.
- Participate in a highly compliant environment while assisting to maintain company controls and security within your job role.
- Assist in maintaining applicable organizational security and compliance controls within your department, role, and subordinate’s roles.
- Other duties as assigned.
WHAT YOU'LL BRING
- 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, with a demonstrated history of leading complex, large-scale technical initiatives.
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field — or equivalent practical experience.
- Advanced proficiency in .NET/C# and enterprise-grade software development, with experience in identity and authentication protocols (OAuth2, SAML 2.0, OIDC) and multi-tenant SaaS architecture.
- Strong knowledge of system architecture, design patterns, scalability, and authorization frameworks in regulated environments.
- Experience with AWS, distributed systems, DevOps practices, CI/CD pipelines, and familiarity with compliance programs such as SOC2 or HIPAA.
- Working knowledge of Python, JavaScript, or Node.js, and experience with relational or document databases (PostgreSQL, MongoDB, CosmosDB).
- A technical leadership and mentorship mindset — you lead through influence, communicate complex concepts clearly, and take pride in platform ownership.
- Collaborative, results-driven, and enthusiastic about leveraging AI tools and concepts.
