    Job Description

    About the role

    We are hiring a Senior Software Engineer to work on our core business platform - the system that runs settlements, payments, invoices, contracts, inventory, and related operations for a large agricultural cooperative.

    This is a hybrid IC role: you will deliver product features and fixes alongside work that improves how we build and ship - automated testing, CI/CD, reliability, security hygiene, and day-to-day engineering quality. Much of the work is in a long-lived production codebase: you will change existing behavior carefully, refactor toward testability, and leave the next person in a better place. You will partner with existing engineers and an external engineering partner, use AI-assisted development as a standard part of your workflow, and help raise the bar for how the team ships.

    What you will do

    • Design, build, and maintain features across the .NET stack (C#, desktop and service layers) and SQL Server, including business logic that lives in stored procedures
    • Refactor existing C# and SQL as you go - characterize current behavior with tests, improve structure incrementally, and avoid big-bang rewrites
    • Own work end-to-end: understand the business path, implement the change, add automated coverage, and see it through review and release
    • Strengthen delivery: improve build/test pipelines, migration safety, and the practices that make small, frequent changes the default
    • Grow automated tests on high-value paths (unit, SQL/integration, API) so confidence comes from the pipeline, not from babysitting releases
    • Contribute to Azure-hosted services and supporting infrastructure with a security- and operations-aware mindset
    • Use AI coding assistants daily - for implementation, review, tests, and investigation - and help the team adopt effective patterns
    • Collaborate with employees and external engineering partners; mentor peers through clear design, review, and documentation of important decisions

    What we are looking for

    Required

    • 7+ years professional software development experience, including substantial C# / .NET
    • Strong T-SQL and SQL Server experience; comfortable reading and changing complex stored procedures and data models
    • Experience with CI/CD (Azure DevOps preferred) and a habit of shipping behind automated checks
    • Working knowledge of Azure services commonly used with .NET applications
    • Experience owning and refactoring large existing production codebases, not only building new services
    • Proven practice writing automated tests and improving coverage on systems that already run in production
    • Fluency with AI-assisted software development (e.g. Cursor, Copilot, Claude Code, Codex, or equivalent) as a core part of how you work - not an occasional experiment
    • Ability to work hybrid and collaborate effectively with a distributed team
    • Must be able to attend occasional in-person meetings in our Omaha office, our headquarters in Aurora, Nebraska, and make occasional trips to other offices as needed

    Preferred

    • Background in ERP, accounting, payments, inventory, or other financial / transactional systems
    • Experience with WinForms, WCF, Service Fabric, or similar enterprise desktop/service architectures
    • Exposure to infrastructure-as-code, application security hardening, or observability (logging, metrics, alerts)
    • Agricultural, commodity, or cooperative industry experience

    Success in the first year looks like

    • You are a trusted owner on meaningful product work and on platform improvements that make delivery safer and faster
    • High-value paths have better automated coverage, and merges rely on required checks rather than hope
    • Peers can pick up areas you touch; important behavior is captured in tests and documentation
    • AI-assisted development is part of how the team ships, with clear habits around review and verification

    Benefits

    • Competitive wages
    • Medical (PPO & High-Deductible plans), Dental, & Vision insurance
    • Flexible/HSA Spending Plans
    • Life Insurance
    • 401K Plan with match
    • Short-term & Long-term Disability
    • EAP
    • Cancer Insurance
    • Vacation, Sick, & Paid holidays
