Our financial client has an immediate need for a position based out of their Edison, NJ area office.

This role is perfect for a hands on .NET and React engineer with architectural judgment and technical leadership.

• Design and enhance enterprise application architectures, integrations, and data flows across internal systems, cloud services, and third-party platforms.


• Provide technical direction throughout the development lifecycle, including architecture reviews, code reviews, testing, troubleshooting, and production support.


• Mentor engineers, promote coding standards, and improve development practices, documentation, and software quality.


• Support cloud deployments, CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, application security, and performance optimization.


• Collaborate with product, QA, infrastructure, business, and vendor teams to translate requirements into effective technical solutions and ensure successful delivery.

Required Qualifications

• 10+ years of software engineering experience spanning application design, development, testing, and production support.


• Strong hands-on expertise in C#, .NET, React 18+, TypeScript, and component libraries such as Material UI.


• Experience designing multi-tier applications, developing REST and GraphQL APIs, and working with relational databases and SQL.


• Knowledge of distributed systems, enterprise integration patterns, secure development practices, automated testing, and CI/CD.


• Demonstrated technical leadership, including architecture and code reviews, mentoring, and coordination with external technology partners.

• Experience with AWS services, including ECS/EKS, Lambda, API Gateway, S3, RDS/Aurora, DynamoDB, SNS/SQS, and CloudWatch.


• Familiarity with Infrastructure as Code, microservices, cloud-native development, and application modernization.


• Background in financial services, investment or asset management, wealth management, or related platforms such as portfolio, trading, or order management systems.


• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Technology, or a related field.
