Job description

We are looking for a curious, conscientious, and fast-learning Senior Software Engineer to join our growing, distributed team supporting a federal government client at Coforma.

Senior Software Engineers are critical members of our engineering team who contribute to the technical vision and strategy of the products we deliver. In this role, you'll work with cross-functional teams at Coforma across engineering, design, product, and program management, as well as directly with end users and external client stakeholders. You'll help ensure that Coforma's capabilities, values, and technical strategies lead to successful outcomes for the staff, end users, and their beneficiaries who rely on this system.

This position requires a blend of hands-on engineering depth, strategic thinking, and strong communication skills. You'll build and operate production services, raise the quality bar across the team, and help lead the incremental modernization of the platform, extracting capability out of Dynamics into well-tested Azure services so the system can be maintained by a broader set of engineers over time.

If you're passionate about improving lives through digital products and services, then Coforma is a great company for you.

$150,235 to $169,146 Annual Salary + Benefits + Growth Potential

• Tier 1 — $150,235.80: Meets stated qualification and experience requirements. May need guidance and training beyond onboarding to perform the more complex functions of the role.
• Tier 2 — $159,691.20: Experienced and fully competent. Will be able to independently perform key responsibilities of the role once onboarding is completed.
• Tier 3 — $169,146.60: Highly experienced and can perform all responsibilities of the role at a higher level than expected once onboarding is completed.

To honor our company-wide equitable pay system, the posted salary range and corresponding tier salaries are non-negotiable.

You must be a full-time resident of the contiguous United States and legally authorized to work in the US now and in the future without sponsorship to be considered for this role. The selected candidate must be willing to undergo and able to pass a Public Trust background check and any applicable background and/or security checks related to the project.

• Design, build, test, and operate production features across the client stack, includingC#/.NET services in Azure Government, Dynamics 365/Dataverse customizations and plugins

• Own complex, cross-boundary changes end to end, where a single piece of work may touch a .NET API, a Dataverse schema change, and a Power Automate flow at the same time

• Lead incremental modernization work that extracts capability out of Dynamics into independently deployable, well-tested Azure services, reducing the platform's dependence on specialized Dynamics expertise

• Work within the system's complex integration landscape—MPI, the User Enrollment System, FSC, iFAMS, CARMA, Oracle Health/Cerner FHIR, and the Travel Pay API—diagnosing latency, data parity, and failure-mode problems across service boundaries

• Raise the engineering quality bar: meaningful automated test coverage, substantive code review, observability, and safe deployment practices

• Review others' pull requests with intent, understanding what the change is trying to accomplish, not just whether it compiles, and help eliminate single points of failure in team knowledge

• Translate product and policy requirements, including specific beneficiary travel rules, into correct and maintainable implementations in the auto-adjudication rules engine

• Produce architecture diagrams, technical designs, and current-state assessments, and present trade-offs to engineering, product, and client stakeholders

• Ensure work aligns with client standards and governance including security requirements, the Authority to Operate (ATO) process, and Section 508 accessibility compliance

• Mentor mid-level and junior engineers through pairing, review, and design guidance

• Support production issues and partner with production support and DevOps on root-cause analysis and durable fixes

In Your First 30 Days, You Will:

• Complete new hire orientation training and familiarize yourself with the Coforma Field Guide
• Meet key stakeholders and external counterparts on the project team and client side
• Develop a working understanding of the platform, its current architecture, and the existing Dynamics implementation
• Review relevant documentation, requirements, and technical artifacts to build context on the program's goals and constraints
• Partner with engineering and product leadership to identify near-term discovery priorities and risks

After 60 Days:

• Independently deliver features of meaningful scope across Dynamics and the .NET services
• Serve as a reliable reviewer on other engineers' work, including in areas outside your initial onboarding focus
• Identify and document integration approaches, data models, and technical trade-offs, and bring forward concrete proposals for reducing technical debt
• Contribute to improving the team's automated test coverage and deployment confidence

After 90 Days and Beyond:

• Own a significant area of the platform as the team's go-to engineer for it, while deliberately and proactively spreading that knowledge rather than concentrating it
• Lead a modernization or extraction effort from design through production rollout
• Act as a technical partner to engineering and product leadership on sequencing, feasibility, and risk
• Represent Coforma's technical recommendations directly to client stakeholders
• A minimum of 8 years of relevant work experience leading and working with technical teams across Product, Design, Research, and Engineering in agile environments (experience in digital services supporting federal contracts strongly preferred)
• Strong, hands-on proficiency in C# and .NET, including building and maintaining RESTful web services, and comfort working in both legacy (.NET Framework) and modern (.NET 10+) codebases
• Hands-on experience with Microsoft Dynamics 365/Dataverse—plugins, data entities, security roles, and platform integration patterns—or demonstrated ability and willingness to come up to speed on it quickly with a strong .NET background
• Production experience with Microsoft Azure (App Services, Azure Functions, API Management, Application Insights, Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions)
• Strong understanding of API design, RESTful services, JSON, OAuth 2.0, and SSO integration, as well as event-driven and integration patterns
• Experience integrating enterprise systems across CRM, ERP, financial, and identity/eligibility platforms (analogous to client platform integrations such as MPI, FSC, iFAMS, and CARMA)
• Demonstrated commitment to automated testing—unit, integration, and API-level—and the judgment to know what is worth testing
• Working knowledge of DevOps practices, CI/CD pipelines, source control workflows in GitHub, and infrastructure as code
• Strong understanding of security principles and best practices, including encryption, authentication, and authorization, and the care required when handling PII and financial data
• Evidence of ownership and self-direction with the ability to take an ambiguous problem, drive it to a decision, and carry it to production without hand-holding
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to convey complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders
• Full-time resident of the contiguous United States (must be legally authorized to work in the US now and in the future without sponsorship)
• Ability to pass a Public Trust background check and any applicable background and/or security checks related to project requirements

Preferred Qualifications and Experience:

• Relevant Microsoft certifications for solution architects (e.g. Power Platform or Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement/core platform)
• Experience with multiple software development lifecycles and methodologies such as Scrum and Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe®)
• TypeScript/modern front-end experience
