Pre-Paid Legal Services, Inc. (PPLSI) is hiring a Software Engineer II to design, develop, and maintain software solutions for its applications, systems, products, and internal tools. The role contributes to frontend and backend development, uses AI coding tools with careful code review, and collaborates with engineering and product teammates to deliver quality software.\n\nResponsibilities\nThe Software Engineer II is a mid-level technical contributor in the organization who is responsible for designing, developing, and maintaining software solutions. They are developing and building the applications and systems that run the company. This could be the backend systems, the frontend user experience, the products, or the tools to keep the business running. They may work independently or as part of a team and contribute to the technical direction of the software engineering department. The impact they should have on the company is to deliver high-quality software products that meet the needs of customers and stakeholders, while also continuing to develop their technical skills and knowledge. They should have a keen focus on learning and professional development, as well as a willingness to collaborate and communicate effectively with colleagues and stakeholders. A Software Engineer II is also expected to demonstrate proficiency with agentic AI coding tools, using them to independently accelerate feature delivery while applying strong judgment to validate every line of AI-generated output\nA Software Engineer II will have a deeper understanding of the development processes and tools, including a stronger focus on quality, than more junior engineers. Initially the Software Engineer II might write code according to a specification or ticket written by someone else, using an architecture and/or design created by others. However, as they advance, they will contribute increasingly more to defining the requirements, architecture, and design of what they are building. They are more capable of working independently and not being blocked by others, and will have developed some expertise in their area of focus, which may include several different approaches to solving problems with their area. The Software Engineer II will begin to work on components that span a product and potentially a system and will also understand the components of other immediate team members and how their system interacts with these components. While still focused on tasks and tickets, they will begin to see beyond the current ticket and solve problems outside of the task at hand – they will see beyond an individual sprint, with an understanding of work that is happening several sprints out\nPerform frontend coding for web and/or mobile, using React, React Native, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Node, or similar\nImplement UI primitives spanning web and mobile (contributing to internal open-source frameworks)\nImplement products used by external customers and service providers\nPerform backend coding for systems and components, using C#/.Net, Node.js, or similar\nImplement new features and functionality in Node.js, and .NET as needed\nWrite reliable and tested code including unit testing and CI/CD (continuous integration/continuous delivery) pipeline contributions\nTrack problems, resolutions, and bug fixes throughout testing and create a comprehensive database of defects and successful mitigation techniques\nUse agentic AI coding tools (e.g., Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor) proficiently to accelerate feature development, reduce boilerplate, and increase throughput — demonstrating that one engineer + AI can match a small team’s output\nServe as a quality gate for AI-generated code: critically review output for logical errors, security flaws, performance issues, and alignment with requirements before merging\nEngage in ongoing personal study of modern technologies and industry-related knowledge and skills\nThe Software Engineer II will work intricately with their teammates and neighboring teams’ software engineers, product managers, and others. They will welcome and seek opportunities to learn and grow from more senior engineers as they also continue to develop their own leadership skills\nWork closely and effectively with teammates, which may include fellow software engineers, program/product managers, software test engineers, and others\nContribute to the implementation of dynamic requirements/initiatives with teammates, cross-team collaborators, and with business partners as appropriate\nParticipate in daily agile stand-ups, story creation/sizing/updating\nShare on-call/escalation responsibilities with your team\n\nSkills\n2-5 years of industry experience in software engineering\nBachelor's degree in Computer Science or related field, or equivalent industry experience\nFrontend-focused software engineers: Intermediate ability to code in React, React Native, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Node, or similar web technologies\nBackend-focused software engineers: Intermediate ability to code in C#/.Net, or similar object-oriented languages\nDemonstrated proficiency with agentic AI coding tools (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot) to accelerate development while maintaining code quality\nAbility to decompose problems into well-scoped tasks that can be effectively delegated to and validated from AI agents\nAbility to critically evaluate AI-generated code for correctness, security vulnerabilities, and architectural fit\nWillingness to learn new approaches and technologies\nAbility to work well with other engineers in a collaborative environment\nAttention to detail and quality\nOpen-minded approach to new ideas and approaches\nWillingness to challenge others and be challenged\nShare in the goal of creating the best design and architecture possible\n\nBenefits\nEligible employees receive medical, dental, and vision coverage.\nEligible employees receive company-paid short-term disability and basic life and AD&D insurance.\nEligible employees can participate in a 401(k) retirement plan with company match.\nEligible employees receive paid time off, paid holidays, paid sick leave, and paid parental leave.\nEligible employees receive LegalShield and IDShield membership plans.\nAdditional benefits may apply based on position and eligibility.\nThis position is fully remote.\n\nCompany Overview\nWe create services that protect and empower people.
