Senior Software Engineer

SimpliGov is a company building an evolving platform with microservices, front-end replatforming, and SimpliAI integrations. The Senior Software Engineer serves as the senior technical owner of a delivery pod, writing production .NET code, integrating AI capabilities, reviewing code, guiding engineers, and owning delivery and production outcomes.

Responsibilities:

• Own the pod’s delivery outcome end to end: decomposition, sequencing, dependency awareness, and the release itself
• Write production .NET every week: services, APIs, data access, and the unglamorous parts of a mature codebase
• Integrate SimpliAI capabilities into product features: agentic workflows, retrieval-augmented generation, structured extraction, tool calling, and model-backed behaviors, with evaluations and traces wired in from the start
• Be the reviewer of record for the pod, including agent-produced code; nothing merges that someone in the pod cannot defend line by line
• Run a short Plan-and-Review cadence: written plans, explicit assumptions, and open questions visible to everyone before work starts
• Supervise the pod’s use of our agent loop (Wright) and delivery system (Conductor): set the guardrails, escalate the failures that need a human, and keep judgment where it belongs
• Coach the mid-level and junior engineers in the pod through their own designs; success is a pod that needs less of you over time
• Carry the pod’s technical debt honestly, including what you are choosing not to fix and why
• Hold quality, latency, and cost of the pod’s surfaces in production, including on-call and postmortems
• Escalate to Architecture early when a design outgrows the pod, rather than quietly absorbing

Requirements:

• 7+ years building and shipping production software, with deep .NET and C# expertise (ASP.NET Core, Entity Framework Core, async patterns, performance and profiling work)
• You have been the senior engineer on a pod, squad, or feature team without leaving the keyboard
• Real experience in a large, mature codebase: refactoring under load, strangler patterns, or extracting services from a monolith
• Demonstrated integration of LLM-backed features into a shipping product: prompt and context engineering, tool calling, structured outputs, and evidence of how you evaluated the result
• Azure fluency (AKS, App Service, Service Bus, SQL) and comfort with CI/CD (GitHub, Octopus Deploy or similar)
• Strong code review instincts; you can articulate why you rejected something, not just that you did
• Clear written communication; we will ask for a sample
• Experience in government, healthcare, or another regulated environment is a plus
