Principal Software Engineer

NIC MAP is looking for a Principal Software Engineer to join their engineering team. The role involves designing, building, and maintaining software for their cloud-based SaaS platform, with a focus on full stack development and AI-forward engineering.

Responsibilities:

• Design, develop, and maintain full stack applications using C#, .NET 8+, MSSQL, and PostgreSQL
• Use AI tooling daily (Claude Code, Cursor, AI agents, MCP connectors) to ship faster and eliminate toil
• Architect and deliver solutions across the full stack, owning features from concept through production
• Manage production workloads in Azure, including Azure Container Apps (ACA), monitoring, and operational support
• Debug, troubleshoot, and resolve complex technical issues and production incidents
• Work directly with anyone on the team (engineers, product, leadership) to plan, estimate, and deliver

Requirements:

• Design, develop, and maintain full stack applications using C#, .NET 8+, MSSQL, and PostgreSQL
• Front-end work spans Angular, React, Next.js, Vite, Tailwind, and shadcn/ui
• Python for data engineering
• Use AI tooling daily (Claude Code, Cursor, AI agents, MCP connectors) to ship faster and eliminate toil
• Architect and deliver solutions across the full stack, owning features from concept through production

• Experience building AI-powered features in production (prompt engineering, RAG, embeddings, document indexing)
• GitHub Actions, infrastructure-as-code, or container orchestration in Azure
• Cosmos DB, Service Bus, or other Azure PaaS services
• SaaS product development with multi-tenant architectures
• Healthcare data standards (HL7, FHIR) or data-intensive platforms
