Senior Software Engineer - Employment Compliance Solutions

A Senior Software Engineer to design and build a secure document identity verification platform within the Employment Compliance Solutions suite, enabling I-9, E-Verify, employment eligibility verification, and pre-employment screening.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, test, and maintain scalable services and user interfaces that support document identity verification and employment-compliance workflows.
• Deliver secure, reliable, well-tested code in C#/.NET (ASP.NET Core) on the backend and TypeScript/React on the frontend, aligned with engineering standards.
• Develop and version REST APIs, asynchronous workflows, and background workers for long‑running verification, OCR, and notification jobs.
• Contribute to architecture discussions and long‑term platform strategy, including service boundaries, data modeling, and independent scaling of identity‑verification components.
• Operate in Microsoft Azure environments: 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 via Azure Key Vault with managed identity, keeping secrets out of source or images, and handle environment-specific settings across local, dev, and prod.
• Work across the Azure surface, including Azure SQL (encryption-at-rest and column-level encryption for PII), Blob Storage for documents and images, Service Bus for messaging, and Monitor/Log Analytics for observability.
• 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 with minimal manual steps.
• Treat infrastructure as code and produce documented runbooks as first‑class deliverables; maintain environment parity and clear rollback paths.
• Champions automated quality gates, including code formatting, test coverage, and security checks, as part of merge and release processes.
• 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 in‑house vision/OCR inference for data extraction and validation.
• Design resilient external integrations with retries, idempotency, polling/callbacks, and graceful degradation for APIs you do not control.
• Automate manual compliance steps to improve throughput and reduce processing time and error rates.
• Ensure applications meet security, privacy, and regulatory requirements for sensitive PII and identity documents (GLBA, FCRA, SOC 2, immigration/employment eligibility rules).
• Implement secure‑by‑default patterns including OIDC/OAuth 2.0 (PKCE), least‑privilege managed identities, encryption in transit and at rest, PII redaction, 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; ensure releases pass tests before deployment.
• Partner with Product leaders to translate compliance requirements into technical solutions, advising 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 processes.
• Contribute to technical standards, engineering best practices, and SDLC improvements; evaluate emerging technologies including AI/ML for document understanding and workflow automation, and advocate pragmatic adoption.
• Mentor junior engineers and foster a culture of technical excellence and ownership.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Systems, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
• 5+ years of professional software development experience.
• Proven track record designing and building enterprise applications, web services, and APIs.
• Strong proficiency in C#/.NET with willingness to work primarily in .NET, or comparable modern languages such as Java, Python, or JavaScript/TypeScript.
• Solid experience with relational databases, data modeling, and SQL.
• Hands‑on experience with a major cloud platform, with Azure strongly preferred, and the ability to discuss cloud architecture, networking, and deployment.
• Working knowledge of CI/CD pipelines and modern DevOps practices.
• Experience in Agile environments, with strong problem‑solving and analytical skills.
