Lead Software Engineer (.NET)

Embrace Software Inc. is a technology company focused on reshaping engineering culture through AI-native practices. The Lead Software Engineer will modernize legacy applications, build new products, and provide architectural guidance while leading a team in a remote setting.

Responsibilities:

• Modernize without breaking things. You'll lead the evolution of legacy applications — ASP.NET Web Forms, Classic ASP — toward cleaner, more modular ASP.NET MVC and .NET Core architectures. Not a rip-and-replace; a thoughtful, customer-stable progression
• Build new products that matter. Design and ship new applications and services using C#, ASP.NET, Angular, and RESTful APIs. You'll work with AI-native tools — Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, GitHub Copilot, JetBrains AI, and Lovable — to accelerate development without sacrificing quality
• Own the data layer. Design SQL Server schemas, write efficient queries, tune performance, and build integrations that connect internal and external systems reliably
• Code and drive change. Drive design discussions, conduct meaningful code reviews, mentor engineers, and translate business needs into architecture that lasts. You'll work directly with product managers and stakeholders — your voice shapes what gets built and why
• Work close to the metal. Our products run in private-cloud and co-location environments. You'll collaborate with infrastructure teams on deployments, monitoring, and keeping things stable in production

Requirements:

• 8+ years of software development experience
• Experience in a senior or lead role
• Proficiency in C#
• Proficiency in ASP.NET
• Proficiency in Angular
• Proficiency in RESTful APIs
• Proficiency in SQL Server
• Experience with either ASP.NET MVC or .NET Core
• Ability to navigate legacy codebases
• Strong communication skills
• Ownership mentality
• Experience with AI tooling
• Experience with Classic ASP/VBScript
• Experience in traditional data center environments
