What are the responsibilities and job description for the Software Engineer position at Strategic Employment Partners (SEP)?
A long-standing, nationally recognized financial services company is making a major investment in modernizing its core technology.

This is a key engineering hire who will play a central role in that transformation.
What You’ll Do
This company is entering a multi-year modernization effort that will define its future. They’re looking for an engineer who wants ownership, technical influence, and the chance to help architect a modern platform from the ground up—without the volatility of a startup.
