What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Software Engineer - Cloud & Connected Apps position at Laars Heating Systems Company?
Primary Function:
Our Morrisville, NC location is seeking a Senior Software Engineer to strengthen in-house ownership of FloLogic’s cloud, web, and mobile platforms. This hands-on individual contributor role is centered on C#/.NET and Azure, with opportunities to expand into the broader technologies used across our stack.
This position will work closely with a small internal engineering team and our Europe-based development partners, contributing to architecture, roadmap planning, code reviews, and platform quality and security. You’ll also own and enhance internal tools, bringing a pragmatic approach to modernizing systems, navigating large codebases, and implementing testing where it delivers the most value.
Key Responsibilities
- Build on the .NET / Azure core — design, build, and maintain C# services and applications on Azure, including IoT-driven backends and APIs.
- Own and advance internal tools — take ownership of internal web applications, add
- automated test coverage, improve reliability, and extend features our support and engineering teams rely on.
- Collaborate with our Europe-based development partners — review pull requests, designs, and deployments; partner on architecture and roadmap; and help maintain a high bar for code quality, testability, and security across the platform.
- Grow across the stack — ramp into our web (Blazor) and cross-platform app (.NET MAUI) work, and our observability/monitoring tooling, as the role develops.
- Connect software to the device ecosystem — understand how device telemetry, cloud-to-device commands, and over-the-air updates flow, and collaborate with the firmware team where behavior must align.
- Raise the engineering bar pragmatically — improve CI/CD, testing, dependency hygiene, and release practices where it meaningfully reduces risk.
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software/Computer Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
- Senior-level experience (typically 8 years) in professional software engineering, with deep, recent work in C# / .NET.
- Strong experience building and operating applications on Microsoft Azure.
- A pragmatic commitment to automated testing — unit and integration testing, mocking, and CI gating, applied where it adds real value.
- Proven ability to own and evolve large, inherited codebases, not just greenfield work.
- Solid grounding in relational data and ORMs (e.g. Entity Framework Core / SQL).
- Excellent written and verbal communication — you'll review work and collaborate with an external development team and represent FloLogic's technical interests
- We care most about depth in C# / .NET on Azure and the judgment that comes with senior experience. The specific frameworks below are things you can ramp into; don't self-select out if you're strong on the fundamentals but haven't used every tool in our stack.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience collaborating with distributed or partner development teams (joint code review, shared architecture decisions, maintaining quality standards together).
- IoT / connected-device experience: device telemetry, command-and-control, and over-the-air updates.
- Modern .NET web development with Blazor (or comparable, e.g. ASP.NET Core / React/Angular SPA).
- Cross-platform app development with .NET MAUI / Xamarin (or comparable mobile/desktop experience).
- CI/CD ownership and release/deployment management on Azure.
- Real-time web (e.g. SignalR), API security (OAuth2/JWT), and observability/monitoring (e.g. Grafana, Application Insights).
- Security knowledge for connected platforms (device-to-cloud trust, secrets, secure update).
- Background in regulated, safety-relevant, or high-reliability consumer products.
Why Join Us
- Opportunity to shape and scale the operational backbone of a rapidly growing business.
- Collaborative, innovative team culture with real impact on company success.
- Competitive compensation and benefits package.
