What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Software Engineer (API) position at Employee Navigator?
About Employee Navigator
Employee Navigator is a fast-growing, profitable SaaS company that partners with leading insurance carriers, payroll providers, and insurance brokers to help make managing employee benefits and HR a whole lot easier. Our platform simplifies the day-to-day work behind benefits administration, employee onboarding, and other HR tasks. As the leading broker-focused platform we serve more than 180,000 companies and over 14 million employees around the country. We’re also honored to have been named a Washington Post Top Workplace for six consecutive years.
About The Role
We’re currently looking for a senior backend engineer that will be primarily designing, building, and maintaining the APIs that power Employee Navigator’s benefits enrollment platform. You will be joining a team that works closely with business, product, and QA teams to deliver production grade APIs for both internal and external customers. We want someone with 7 years of experience in shipping and maintaining high usage, customer-facing, external APIs who can bring their expertise to help us expand our API products.
Our day-to-day work is in C# on .NET 8 with WebAPI, MVC and Vue.js at the front-end. We develop software as simple as forms for data capture to Roslyn-based C# class -> RESTAPI generators to custom patterns handling our enrollment engine. We believe the best part of development is planning out code and discussing it with peers before writing it. Micro-ORM, dynamic SQL, or stored procedures are all used depending on the best option. We like generics and functional techniques and really like code that is easy to read.
We use a Kanban process so that pace is driven by the task definition rather than an arbitrary time frame. So, we are looking for engineers who can make good decisions and find creative solutions. We work closely with our product owners -- and even executives -- to make sure features are understood and the right problems are being solved.
Please note!: This is an onsite role working out of either our Bethesda, MD or Salt Lake City UT office on a hybrid schedule.
