Location

Saint Petersburg, Florida — onsite at the downtown headquarters four days per week, effective immediately.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, test, and maintain scalable services and user interfaces for document identity verification and employment-compliance workflows.
• Deliver secure, well-tested code in C#/.NET (ASP.NET Core) on the backend and TypeScript/React on the frontend, adhering to engineering standards.
• Develop and version REST APIs, asynchronous workflows, and background workers for long-running verification, OCR, and notification jobs.
• Contribute to architecture discussions and long-term platform strategy, including service boundaries, data modeling, and scaling identity-verification components.
• Operate within Microsoft Azure: deploy on Azure Container Apps, manage images in Azure Container Registry, and reason about revisions, scaling rules, and environment configuration.
• Manage configuration and secrets with Azure Key Vault using managed identity, avoiding secrets in source code or images, with environment-specific settings across local, dev, and prod.
• Work across Azure services such as Azure SQL (encryption-at-rest and column-level encryption for PII), Blob Storage, Service Bus, and Monitor/Log Analytics for observability.
• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines that lint, test (unit and end-to-end), build container images, and promote releases through dev and prod with minimal manual steps.
• Treat infrastructure as code and produce documented runbooks to maintain environment parity and clear rollback paths.
• Champion automated quality gates, including code formatting, test coverage, and security checks within the merge and release process.
• Develop and maintain integrations with government verification systems (E-Verify / DHS / SSA), HRIS platforms, background-screening providers, and third-party identity vendors.
• Integrate document-scanning and verification services (OCR, liveness, authenticity) and on-infrastructure vision/OCR inference to extract and validate identity data.
• Design resilient external integrations with retries, idempotency, polling/callbacks, and graceful degradation for APIs outside your control.
• Automate manual compliance steps to improve throughput and reduce errors.
• Ensure applications meet security, privacy, and regulatory requirements for sensitive PII and identity documents (GLBA, FCRA, SOC 2, immigration/employment-eligibility rules).
• Implement secure-by-default practices including OIDC/OAuth 2.0 with PKCE, least-privilege identities, encryption, PII redaction, and thorough audit logging.
• Participate in code reviews and support audit readiness by maintaining documentation, controls, and system integrity.
• Troubleshoot production issues while preserving reliability and performance; avoid releasing with failing tests.
• Collaborate with Product leaders to translate compliance requirements into scalable technical solutions and advise on feasibility, performance, and security trade-offs.
• Participate in Agile planning, estimation, sprint execution, and backlog refinement; identify opportunities to automate compliance processes.
• Contribute to technical standards, best practices, and SDLC improvements; evaluate emerging technologies, including AI/ML for document understanding and workflow automation.
• Mentor junior engineers and foster a culture of technical excellence and ownership.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Systems, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
• 5+ years of professional software development experience.
• Proven track record designing and building enterprise applications, web services, and APIs.
• Strong proficiency in C#/.NET (or comparable modern languages such as Java, Python, or JavaScript/TypeScript) with a primary focus on .NET.
• Solid experience with relational databases, data modeling, and SQL.
• Hands-on experience with a major cloud platform, with Azure strongly preferred; ability to discuss cloud architecture, networking, and deployment.
• Working knowledge of CI/CD pipelines and modern DevOps practices.
• Experience in Agile environments, with strong problem-solving and analytical skills.
