Software Engineer II

Software Engineer II is an early-career role for engineers who build and maintain Windows desktop applications in C# and .NET. Engineers in this role work on their own on well-defined features. They apply sound engineering principles to deliver reliable, performant, and maintainable desktop software. A Software Engineer II owns their technical decisions and shares responsibility for the quality of the product. That means writing tests, reviewing code, and working closely with QA to find and fix defects. Compared to a Software Engineer I, this role comes with more skill, more independence, and more responsibility. Engineers at this level also start mentoring and leading within their team. This position prepares engineers for senior engineering and technical leadership roles. Required Qualifications Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience. 2–5 years of professional software development experience, or equivalent ability. Strong proficiency in C# and .NET (.NET 6+ and/or .NET Framework 4.x). Hands-on experience building Windows desktop applications with WPF, WinForms, or WinUI. Solid understanding of MVVM, dependency injection, SOLID principles, and common design patterns. Working knowledge of asynchronous programming, threading, and UI responsiveness in desktop applications. Experience consuming RESTful services and working with SQL, JSON, and XML. Proficiency with Visual Studio, Git, and CI/CD tools (Azure DevOps preferred). Experience writing automated tests and debugging production issues. Strong written and verbal communication, teamwork, and problem-solving skills. Ability to manage day-to-day development tasks on their own with moderate supervision. Commitment to continuous learning and a growth mindset. Preferred Qualifications Experience migrating applications from .NET Framework to modern .NET. Familiarity with Windows platform APIs, P/Invoke, or COM interop. Experience with desktop installers, code signing, and update or distribution mechanisms. Experience with performance profiling and memory analysis tools (for example dotTrace, dotMemory, PerfView). Exposure to cloud services (AWS or Azure) that support desktop clients. Experience with graphics, drawing, or document-heavy desktop applications. #LI-LM03 #LI-Hybrid
