Senior Full Stack .NET Engineer – Drive Transformation, Own Impact

We’re building a high-performing engineering team to modernize and transform a mission-critical legacy system—and we want you on it. This isn’t just another “Senior developer” role. Here, every team member owns their work, moves fast, and delivers measurable impact. Together, we achieve more than teams twice our size.

This is a Senior-level position for engineers who thrive on autonomy, precision, and speed. You’ll need deep technical fluency, strong ownership, and the ability to execute effectively in high-pressure, fast-paced environments.


What You’ll Do

  • Rapidly gain fluency in a 2M line VB.NET codebase and help evolve it for today’s needs.
  • Build and enhance our C# middle layer using Entity Framework Core.
  • Design and implement full-feature solutions in collaboration with our product owner.
  • Triage and resolve critical, high-stakes bugs.
  • Own integrations with third-party APIs (UPS, Vertex, FedEx, Twilio).
  • Collaborate with other top-tier developers to raise the bar for the platform.

Tech Stack

  • VB.NET (legacy reverse engineering)
  • C# / ASP.NET Core / Razor MVC
  • Entity Framework Core
  • SQL Server
  • Azure DevOps, GitHub Copilot
  • Third-party APIs (UPS, Vertex, Twilio, FedEx, Azure)

Who You Are

You operate at the top of your game—combining technical excellence with business awareness. This role demands more than skill; it requires:

  • High Autonomy: You take initiative, act decisively, and push projects forward without waiting for direction.
  • Fast-Paced Drive: You thrive in dynamic environments, adapt quickly, and prefer action over perfection.
  • Maturity in Craft & Judgment: You bring sharp technical skills and wise decision-making to high-impact work.
  • Urgency & Precision: Comfortable shifting between deep problem-solving and real-time execution.

Requirements

  • 8 years of professional experience in full stack .NET development
  • Expertise in both legacy systems and modern C#/EF Core patterns
  • Located within 4 hours of Nicholasville, KY
  • Able to work Eastern Time Zone hours for real-time collaboration
  • Open to onsite strategy sessions 1–2 times per year
  • Experience with legacy code migrations
  • Proven success in high-urgency environments
  • Systems thinking and architecture-level insight

Ready to lead transformation and make an outsized impact? Apply now and join a team that moves fast, owns outcomes, and sets the standard for excellence.
