Full Description

Whether you’re an experienced professional or just getting started, your contributions matter at Fortra. If you’re passionate about tackling meaningful challenges alongside talented team members committed to helping each other succeed, all while having lots of fun, we want to hear from you. We offer competitive benefits and salaries, personal and professional development opportunities, flexibility, and much more! We are looking for a Sr. Software Engineer who wants to contribute to the future of the Automate platform. You will design and build new capabilities on a mature, widely deployed .NET product, execute on technical work that keeps it healthy, and help set the standard for how the rest of the team works. That means delivering excellent code as well as mentoring, reviewing, teaching, and helping the team adopt AI tools effectively. This is a full-time, fully remote role on a distributed team. Automate is a no-code/low code Automation (RPA) platform that lets IT and business teams automate complex workflows without the need for engineering resources or development backgrounds. With more than 700 pre-built automation actions and deployment options ranging from a single desktop to the full enterprise, we serve organizations across a broad range of industries including highly regulated fields such financial services, healthcare, and manufacturing, where on-premises deployment and data security are not negotiable. WHAT YOU'LL DO Build and maintain Execute on the development of new platform capabilities, translating Product requirements into implementation, test, and release plans. This includes writing technical specifications that turn a product requirement into a design the team can build against. Identify and evaluate new technologies where appropriate, including AI capabilities that become part of the product itself Work across a large .NET and C# codebase spanning the desktop client, server components, and the database layer Diagnose and fix complex defects that cross component boundaries, including issues reported by customers running in production Keep pace with the foundational application work that is not optional: runtime and framework upgrades, dependency and security remediation, and the platform health that keeps the product supportable. Participate fully in the development lifecycle, from design through release Team Impact Mentor less experienced engineers through pairing, code review, and direct feedback Raise the standard for code reviews: catch and articulate problems when they arise, and explain the reasoning so the lesson sticks Serve as technical expert on projects and lead them when needed, including breaking work down, sequencing it, and keeping progress visible Help set the standard: contribute to the conventions, patterns, and quality gates the team builds against, and make the reasoning clear enough that people follow them by choice Track and document technical trade-offs and implementation decisions, so the reasoning behind the system survives the people who made it Speak up early when something is going to be late, is riskier than it first looked, or is being built the wrong way Help us use AI well Use AI coding tools in your daily work and help the team do the same, with a clear view of where they help and where they do not Treat AI-generated code as unverified until it has been reviewed and tested. We want engineers who can tell the difference between code that looks right and code that is right Share what works: prompts, patterns, guardrails, and review practices that make the team faster without lowering quality Help shape our engineering practice as these tools evolve, including where AI belongs in testing, documentation, and code review, and where it does not QUALIFICATIONS 7+ years of professional software engineering experience with deep hands-on .NET and C# work, including both .NET Framework 4.8 and modern .NET Strong grasp of object-oriented design, design patterns, and modern software engineering practices Proficiency with Microsoft SQL Server, including complex queries, stored procedures, and performance tuning Experience with full stack, on-premises software delivery, where you cannot push a fix in an hour and the customer controls the upgrade Experience on large, long-lived, complex codebases Experience writing unit tests, and a point of view on what makes a test worth keeping Git, dependency injection, and working knowledge of Agile delivery Experience with continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines and build and release tooling, ideally including GitLab A track record of mentoring other engineers, whether or not you have held a formal lead title Excellent written and verbal communication in English, and comfort working across time zones on a distributed team Practical experience using AI coding assistants on production work, and the judgment to know when not to Compensation: 120,000 USD - 165,000 USD At Fortra, we’re breaking the attack chain.
