The primary focus is keeping our existing products stable, supportable, and responsive to customer and business needs. When appropriate, the engineer may also contribute to new product development, including our SaaS platform, scientific algorithms, performance improvements, and other engineering initiatives.\nThe ideal candidate has strong C#/.NET experience, understands desktop and server-side applications, and is comfortable working across application code, databases, APIs, deployment, and customer environments.\nIn this role you will get to\nTake primary engineering ownership for the maintenance and support of existing Virscidian products.\nInvestigate and resolve software defects, production issues, and customer-reported problems.\nWork with Support, Business Development, Product Management, and engineering teams to understand issues, priorities, and customer impact.\nImplement new features and product enhancements on a case-by-case basis as customer and business needs evolve.\nMaintain and enhance existing C#/.NET applications, including desktop UI (WPF, WinForms), services, Web APIs, and supporting components.\nWork with SQL Server databases, data access layers, stored procedures, and application data models.\nSupport Azure hosted resources and existing DevOps, build, deployment, and release processes.\nTroubleshoot issues across software, database, configuration, deployment, and customer environments.\nHelp improve the visibility and communication of product issues so priorities are clear to engineering and business stakeholders.\nCollaborate with engineers working on future products when knowledge of the existing products, workflows, or domain is needed.\nContribute to new product development when appropriate, including SaaS platform work, scientific algorithms, performance and scalability improvements, and related engineering efforts.\nWhat we are looking for\nWe are looking for an experienced software engineer who is comfortable taking ownership of mature products and keeping them reliable for customers. This role is well suited to someone who values practical engineering, understands that established products still require active development, and is comfortable working independently across a broad technical stack.\nThe person should be able to investigate issues with limited initial information, communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders, and drive problems through to resolution.\nThe key skills we are looking for\nC# / .NET: Strong hands-on experience developing and maintaining applications using C# and the .NET platform.\nDesktop Application Development: Experience maintaining Windows desktop applications and user interfaces.\nSQL Server: Strong experience with relational databases, SQL Server, data access, troubleshooting, and performance considerations.\nWeb APIs: Experience developing and supporting REST APIs and application integrations.\nAzure: Experience working with applications and services deployed in Microsoft Azure.\nDevOps / Build and Release: Experience with source control, automated builds, deployment, release management, and troubleshooting deployed applications.\nProduct Maintenance: Experience supporting mature production software, including bug fixes, maintenance releases, and incremental feature development.\nTroubleshooting: Strong analytical skills and the ability to diagnose problems across application, database, infrastructure, and customer environments.\nOwnership: Comfortable taking responsibility for a product area, managing priorities, and following issues through to completion.\nCommunication: Ability to work directly with Support, Business Development, Product Management, developers, and other stakeholders to clearly understand and communicate technical issues.\nAutonomy: Comfortable working independently and making practical engineering decisions within an established product architecture.\nCollaboration: Able to work constructively with multiple engineering teams and share knowledge across existing and future product development.\nNew Product Development: Ability to contribute beyond maintenance when needed, including SaaS architecture and development, scientific and analytical algorithms, performance optimization, and scalability work.\nYou may also have\nExperience with scientific or laboratory software.\nExperience with chromatography, mass spectrometry, CDS, LIMS, ELN, or other laboratory informatics systems.\nExperience maintaining software used in regulated or enterprise customer environments.\nExperience with legacy or long-lived Microsoft technology stacks.\nExperience supporting customer-specific configurations and integrations.\nAn electrical engineering, software engineering, computer science, or related technical background.\nUltimately, we are looking for someone who enjoys owning and improving established software products, solving real customer problems, and providing the engineering continuity needed to keep our current product portfolio stable and effective for the next several years, while also being able to contribute to new product development when it makes sense.\nResearch shows us the confidence gap and imposter syndrome can get in the way of meeting outstanding candidates, so please don’t hesitate to apply - we’d love to hear from you.\nBy submitting your application, you agree that Dotmatics may collect your personal data for recruiting, global organization planning, and related purposes.
