Junior C# Software Developer - Mortgage Platform

Grow your skills while building real features in production - guided by experienced programmers.

We're looking for a Junior Programmer to join the team behind LoanWareTM, the residential and commercial mortgage platform serving lenders, servicers, and processors nationwide. You'll take part in the full development life cycle - requirements, design, coding, testing, and deployment - on a production .NET codebase. It's a true career-builder: a place where internships, co-ops, or personal projects turn into real professional experience.

What You'll Do

• Learn the product: Work with business analysts and product owners to understand, clarify, and document functional requirements - asking great questions and probing edge cases as you go.
• Build features: Develop application features in C#/.NET (Framework and Core) following established coding standards and architectural patterns, with senior developers guiding your design work.
• Work with data: Assist with service/API implementation and data tasks, including T-SQL queries and stored procedures, and author, analyze, and validate XML for integration scenarios.
• Keep quality high: Write and maintain unit tests, participate in code reviews, and dig into defects with a root-cause mindset.
• Ship to production: Support releases with the release team to meet deadlines, and take part in sprint planning, daily standups, release reviews, and post-release evaluations.
• Communicate clearly: Share progress, blockers, and questions openly with both technical and non-technical teammates.

Requirements

What You'll Bring

• 0-2 years of C#/.NET experience - production work, internships, co-ops, academic projects, or self-directed projects all count. - A solid grasp of object-oriented programming principles and basic data structures.
• SQL fundamentals - writing queries and a working understanding of relational schema design.
• XML basics - reading, authoring, and validating structured data.
• Architecture awareness - exposure to service-oriented architecture or API-first development concepts.
• Clear written and verbal communication skills, with comfort explaining technical concepts to non-technical audiences - and, just as importantly, comfort asking questions and seeking feedback.
• A structured, detail-oriented, self-directed work style with a genuine curiosity for learning and root-cause analysis.
• Patience, empathy, and a collaborative mindset with coworkers and customers alike.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, PowerPoint) and the ability to learn internal tools in a Windows environment.
• High school diploma or equivalent; a bachelor's degree in computer science, IT, or a related field is strongly preferred.

Nice to Have (But Not Required)

• Experience using SQL for troubleshooting
• Background in technical training, developer advocacy, or technical writing
• WPF desktop application development
• ASP.NET MVC / Core Web API
• Exposure to the mortgage or financial-services domain through coursework, internships, or personal projects

What It's Like

• Standard business hours: Mon-Fri, 8 am-5 pm or 9 am-6 pm CT (depending on staffing needs).
• A collaborative, mentorship-driven culture where asking questions is expected, and growth is the whole point.
• Computer-intensive, sedentary work with regular phone and video-conference collaboration.
• The chance to grow your expertise on a product used in the mortgage industry nationwide.
• A valid Texas driver's license and proof of vehicle liability insurance may be required for on-site work or travel.
