What You’ll Do

Confidential Client is seeking a full-stack developer strongest on the backend. The core of this role is building and maintaining the REST APIs that power websites, mobile apps, and external partner integrations — plus the database work behind them. You will also make front-end updates when a feature requires it. Strong database skills (SQL Server / T‑SQL) are especially important.

• Reports to the Senior Software Engineer
• Build and maintain REST APIs used by websites, mobile apps and outside partners
• Write and optimize T‑SQL — stored procedures, views and queries against a large SQL Server instance
• Design and evolve database schema as features require it
• Integrate, monitor and maintain third‑party service integrations
• Work in an existing .NET (C#) codebase and build new services alongside it
• Implement front‑end changes when a feature demands it (modern JS frameworks)
• Investigate and fix production issues in owned areas
• Read and debug across a mature codebase that spans many repositories and years of development
• Respect existing logic; understand legacy behavior before changing it
• Handle one‑off data and reporting requests without derailing product work
• Collaborate daily with an external development team that builds against our APIs — agree on contracts and maintain compatibility
• Work directly with vendors/partners when their systems or data are the source of an issue
• Ship features that span several repositories at once and perform peer code reviews

Seasonal & On‑call

Our calendar has busy seasons (schedule launch and summer). During peak windows the team shares a rotation for weekend coverage so someone can respond if something breaks. This is a shared, rotating responsibility — not a permanent nightly or single-person on-call.

What We’re Looking For

• C# and .NET experience, including working in a codebase you did not write
• Strong SQL Server and T‑SQL skills, including query tuning and stored procedures
• Experience building and consuming REST APIs
• Working knowledge of a modern JavaScript framework (React, Vue, Angular, etc.)
• Comfort with Git and pull requests
• Clear written and verbal communication with non‑technical stakeholders
• A track record of completing projects and shipping features
• Eagerness to learn new tools and platforms quickly
• Interest in the product rationale — why a feature is requested, not only how to build it
• Care with sensitive data (platform stores personal info about minors and families)

---

Nice to Have

• Data engineering or analytics experience
• Cloud experience (Azure preferred)
• Reporting and BI tool familiarity
• Mobile development experience
• A basic understanding of baseball or softball (helps with domain context)
