Your Role in Our Mission
As a Senior Software Engineer at TellJO, you’ll lead the design and delivery of robust, secure, and scalable technology that directly improves people’s lives.
This is more than coding — you’ll:
* Architect and build complex, maintainable systems using C#, NET, and React (ASP Net is a plus).
* Set technical standards for clean, testable, and efficient code, using nUnit, Moq, and modern CI/CD pipelines (Azure DevOps).
* Own deployment pipelines, ensuring secure, reliable, and timely releases to Azure.
* Champion security best practices, performance optimizations, and database efficiency — from query tuning to thread management.
* Drive technical excellence, providing mentorship, conducting code reviews, and guiding team members on best practices and modern patterns.
* Collaborate with stakeholders to shape the roadmap, break down complex problems, and deliver high-impact solutions.
* Working from the Lancing office 5 days a week.
What You Bring
You’re an experienced engineer ready to step up, lead by example, and drive meaningful change. You have:
* Extensive experience building full-stack applications, with a strong focus on front-end (React, TypeScript) and modern C# ( NET Core preferred).
* Proven ability to architect, refactor, and migrate legacy solutions ( NET 4.8 experience a plus).
* Solid grounding in unit testing, mocking, CI/CD, and cloud deployments (Azure).
* Deep knowledge of security principles, scalability, and performance tuning in production environments.
* Strong analytical and problem-solving skills — you tackle complex challenges with a pragmatic mindset.
* A passion for mentorship and technical leadership, with experience guiding less-experienced engineers to success.
* A collaborative, proactive attitude — you thrive in cross-functional teams where your expertise shapes products that matter.
* Proficiency and experience using modern LLMs to assist with software development.
* Experience with Entity Framework Core ORM or similar, against MS SQL Server or similar RDBMS, is essential.
* Experience with Wordpress is a bonus.
