Senior Software Engineer (API)

About Employee Navigator

Employee Navigator is a fast-growing, profitable SaaS company that partners with leading insurance carriers, payroll providers, and insurance brokers to help make managing employee benefits and HR a whole lot easier. Our platform simplifies the day-to-day work behind benefits administration, employee onboarding, and other HR tasks. As the leading broker-focused platform we serve more than 180,000 companies and over 14 million employees around the country. We’re also honored to have been named a Washington Post Top Workplace for six consecutive years.

About the Role

We’re currently looking for a senior backend engineer that will be primarily designing, building, and maintaining the APIs that power Employee Navigator’s benefits enrollment platform. You will be joining a team that works closely with business, product, and QA teams to deliver production grade APIs for both internal and external customers. We want someone with 7+ years of experience in shipping and maintaining high usage, customer-facing, external APIs who can bring their expertise to help us expand our API products.

Our day-to-day work is in C# on .NET 8 with WebAPI, MVC and Vue.js at the front-end. We develop software as simple as forms for data capture to Roslyn-based C# class -> RESTAPI generators to custom patterns handling our enrollment engine. We believe the best part of development is planning out code and discussing it with peers before writing it. Micro-ORM, dynamic SQL, or stored procedures are all used depending on the best option. We like generics and functional techniques and really like code that is easy to read.

We use a Kanban process so that pace is driven by the task definition rather than an arbitrary time frame. So, we are looking for engineers who can make good decisions and find creative solutions. We work closely with our product owners -- and even executives -- to make sure features are understood and the right problems are being solved.

Please note!: This is an onsite role working out of either our Bethesda, MD or Salt Lake City UT office on a hybrid schedule. 

Here's What You'll Do Day-to-day:

• Plan out API code and design features for real world usage
• Work with internal customers and product managers to iterate rapidly on features
• Contribute to external-facing documentation and developer portals for our APIs
• Help your teammates with reviews of their code
• Contribute to maintenance and reduce tech debt

Minimum Qualifications:

• Undergraduate degree required
• 7+ years of total development experience
• 3+ years of B2B or customer facing API development experience
• Proven in-depth knowledge of C#
• Strong attention to detail
• Experience with Vue.js is a plus but knowledge of JavaScript is required

The expected hiring range for this position is $80,000-$180,000 p/year. This range represents the company’s good-faith estimate of the salary at the time of posting. The actual pay may vary based on factors such as the candidate’s experience, skills, qualifications, and location, as well as internal equity.

We offer a comprehensive benefits package designed to support our employees’ professional growth and personal well-being. Our benefits include paid time off, Volunteer Time Off, 401(k) with company match, medical, dental, and vision insurance, disability coverage, educational reimbursements, and paid parental leave.
