Ship real product
Quality without drama
Ownership that grows with you
The Role
You’ve moved beyond tutorials and junior guidance.
You’ve shipped features and debugged production issues.
Now you’re ready for more ownership - and more impact.
We’re hiring an Intermediate Software Engineer (Role split: 70% Front-end + 30% Back-end) who can take meaningful pieces of product, build them well, and ship them confidently in a collaborative, high-trust environment.
You’ll be responsible for delivering business value by designing and developing high-quality software in a highly collaborative environment. You’ll report to a Senior member of the Engineering team, and be trusted to self-manage your day-to-day work.
You will sit in that critical middle layer of engineering - capable, accountable, and growing into senior-level thinking.
The Work
You’ll spend your time building, improving, and collaborating.
Design & Development
- Develop clean, efficient, scalable software - React, C#.NET
- Build tools and applications that ship regularly into production
- Contribute to solution design, algorithms, and feature architecture
- Automate repetitive tasks using scripting and tooling
- Architect and build moderately complex software solutions
You won’t just implement requirements - you’ll shape solutions.
Quality & Ownership
- Review and debug code (yours and others’)
- Perform validation and verification testing
- Identify risks and problems early
- Suggest improvements to design and approach
- Participate in on-call support (shared responsibility for reliability)
You’ll take initiative. If something needs fixing, you fix it - or you raise it.
Collaboration
You’ll work closely with Product Managers, UX & Design, QA, Site Reliability Engineering and our Engineering Leaders and Tech Leads. You’ll communicate progress, blockers, and risks clearly, in both technical and business-impact terms.
Our Tech Stack
- Build high-throughput services in .NET 8 (microservices) and REACT alongside a battle-tested .NET Framework 4.8 monolith processing billions in giving (Role split: 70% Front-end + 30% Back-end)
- Own microservices that solve real business problems, think payments, communications, third-party integrations etc.
- Solve real scale and data integrity challenges in a secure multi-tenant architecture serving thousands of churches.
- Deliver production-ready software with strong CI/CD, AWS infrastructure, and deep operational telemetry.
- Grow your skills through hands-on migration work-modernising legacy code while keeping production humming.
Why you should care
Intermediate engineers are the engine room of great product teams. They turn intent into impact.
You’ll:
- See your work used by real customers
- Influence feature design early
- Grow toward senior-level impact
- Help shape engineering culture
- Work in an environment where quality actually matters
This is a role for someone who wants to become exceptional, not just comfortable.
If you’re someone who:
- Has 3+ years building multi-user web/mobile/cloud products in REACT
- Cares deeply about user experience
- Thinks in scalable systems, not short-term hacks
- Self-manages tasks, time, and expectations
- Brings new ideas from industry trends
- Shares knowledge generously
- Talks about outcomes, not just output
If you care about clean systems, strong collaboration, and shipping software that makes a difference, let’s talk!
