Role Summary

Confidential Client is seeking a mid-level Senior Software Engineer (4–7 years experience) for a long-term W2 contract. This is a remote role that works on Pacific Time (PST) hours. The focus is full-stack work on C#/.NET (ASP.NET Core) applications with strong attention to security remediation, dependency upgrades, and test-driven fixes.

---

What You’ll Do

• Remediate security findings across the stack: dependency upgrades (NuGet, npm), code-level fixes (authorization, XSS, path traversal, SQL injection, cryptography), credential rotation, and container/Kubernetes hardening.
• Write tests for every fix — unit tests and appropriate integration or functional verification to prove vulnerabilities are closed and features still behave correctly.
• Own version upgrades end-to-end — diagnose and resolve build or behavior changes from major version bumps.
• Document findings and remediation steps so the team avoids repeated efforts.
• Collaborate with other engineering teams, Security, QA, and DevOps to coordinate fixes and safe rollouts.
• Automate routine dependency updates and remediation tasks to prevent backlog accumulation.
• Raise technical judgment calls with reasoned recommendations when fixes or findings are incorrect for the architecture.

---

Requirements

• 4–7 years of professional software engineering experience.
• Strong C# and .NET skills; comfortable in ASP.NET Core web applications.
• Solid TypeScript experience and familiarity with a modern frontend framework (Angular preferred; React or Vue acceptable).
• Working SQL knowledge: writing queries, understanding parameterization, and using an ORM or data access layer.
• Habit of writing tests (unit tests required; integration or end-to-end testing desirable).
• Git fluency: branching, rebasing, clear commits, and useful pull requests.
• Comfort reading and working in unfamiliar codebases.
• Clear written and spoken English for daily collaboration.
• A genuine interest in application security and building skills in remediation and secure coding practices.

Nice-to-Haves

• Previous experience specifically remediating vulnerabilities (e.g., XSS, SQLi, auth issues).
• Experience coordinating secret/credential rotation across services.
• Familiarity with container security and Kubernetes hardening.
• Automation experience for dependency management (bots, CI tools, scheduled upgrades).

---

Compensation & Logistics

• Employment type: Contract (W2 only).
• Remote role with PST hours required.
• Base pay range: $60.00/hr - $65.00/hr.
• This range is provided by Confidential Client. Final pay will be based on skills and experience.
