Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. SimpliGov is a company developing an evolving government technology platform with microservices, front-end replatforming, and SimpliAI integrations. The Senior Software Engineer will serve as the senior technical owner of a delivery pod, writing production .NET and integrating AI capabilities while overseeing delivery, code quality, production outcomes, and the development of other engineers.
Responsibilities
- Own the pod’s delivery outcome end to end: decomposition, sequencing, dependency awareness, and the release itself
- Write production .NET every week: services, APIs, data access, and the unglamorous parts of a mature codebase
- Integrate SimpliAI capabilities into product features: agentic workflows, retrieval-augmented generation, structured extraction, tool calling, and model-backed behaviors, with evaluations and traces wired in from the start
- Be the reviewer of record for the pod, including agent-produced code; nothing merges that someone in the pod cannot defend line by line
- Run a short Plan-and-Review cadence: written plans, explicit assumptions, and open questions visible to everyone before work starts
- Supervise the pod’s use of our agent loop (Wright) and delivery system (Conductor): set the guardrails, escalate the failures that need a human, and keep judgment where it belongs
- Coach the mid-level and junior engineers in the pod through their own designs; success is a pod that needs less of you over time
- Carry the pod’s technical debt honestly, including what you are choosing not to fix and why
- Hold quality, latency, and cost of the pod’s surfaces in production, including on-call and postmortems
- Escalate to Architecture early when a design outgrows the pod, rather than quietly absorbing
Skills
- 7+ years building and shipping production software, with deep .NET and C# expertise (ASP.NET Core, Entity Framework Core, async patterns, performance and profiling work)
- You have been the senior engineer on a pod, squad, or feature team without leaving the keyboard
- Real experience in a large, mature codebase: refactoring under load, strangler patterns, or extracting services from a monolith
- Demonstrated integration of LLM-backed features into a shipping product: prompt and context engineering, tool calling, structured outputs, and evidence of how you evaluated the result
- Azure fluency (AKS, App Service, Service Bus, SQL) and comfort with CI/CD (GitHub, Octopus Deploy or similar)
- Strong code review instincts; you can articulate why you rejected something, not just that you did
- Clear written communication; we will ask for a sample
- Experience in government, healthcare, or another regulated environment is a plus
Benefits
- Bonus
- Medical, dental, and vision insurance plans, with significant employer contributions for employees AND dependents (contributions based on base-level plan; buyup plans available at additional costs)
- Company-sponsored life + disabilities insurances
- 11 Paid holidays
- Flexible time off
- 401k plan with 4% employer match
- Monthly stipends for wellness and home office expenses
