Job summary

Virtuous is seeking a Senior Software Engineer to build and scale the CRM+ platform, primarily in C# and Vue, on Azure and SQL Server. You will influence product direction, work with product/design, and apply AI tools like Claude Code to accelerate delivery.

The role emphasizes hands-on ownership, robust engineering practices, and cross-functional collaboration to deliver customer value and scale with the team.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience with deep expertise in C#/.NET.
• 3+ years of experience with Vue; React or Angular experience transfers well.
• Strong experience building and operating production systems on Azure.
• Solid experience with SQL Server - schema design, query optimization, and performance tuning.
• Genuine enthusiasm for AI-assisted development. Hands-on experience using Claude Code as part of your engineering workflow.
• A customer-first, product-minded approach to engineering. You ask "how could this feature be better?" as often as "how do we build this feature?"
• Passion for contributing to customer discovery conversations, root cause analyses (RCAs), and occasional customer demos
• Experience working on CRM or data-intensive platforms is a strong plus
• Experience working with Datadog, Playwright, and other observability and testing tools a plus
• Excellent communication skills and comfort working cross-functionally with Product, Design, and Customer Success
• A track record of owning projects end-to-end, from design through deployment and monitoring

Responsibilities

• Build, and maintain features across our CRM+ platform using C#, .NET, and SQL Server
• Architect and operate services on Azure, with an eye toward scalability, reliability, and cost
• Partner with Product and Design to shape requirements - not just receive them - bringing a customer-first perspective to technical tradeoffs
• Use AI tools, especially Claude Code, as a core part of your daily workflow: for prototyping, code generation, testing, debugging, documentation, and accelerating delivery
• Write clean, well-tested, maintainable code and unit tests - and participate actively in the code review process
• Mentor and pair program other engineers and help raise the bar for engineering practices across the team
• Influence best practice patterns for QA, CICD, and product architecture
• Troubleshoot and resolve production issues with a sense of urgency and ownership
• Contribute to technical strategy and help evolve our architecture as the platform scales

Position Summary

Virtuous is looking for a Senior Software Engineer to help build and scale our CRM+ platform, the system that powers fundraising and donor engagement for the world’s leading nonprofits. You'll work primarily in C# and Vue within an Azure and SQL Server environment. You’ll partner closely with product, design, and other engineers to ship features that directly impact how organizations connect with their donors and advance their missions.

Virtuous CRM+ is built on the latest version of .NET and Vue, and we are actively building AI-first features on the leading edge of SaaS software.

This is a senior, hands‑on role for someone who is AI-Forward and thinks like a Product Engineer. You won't just implement stories; you’ll understand the "why" behind the work and actively collaborate with the team to deliver innovation and customer value. You’ll be expected to actively influence product direction and operate with high agency and ownership within your squad.

Virtuous is a high-growth SaaS company with a talented EPD team at its core. We move at the speed of a startup while having a big enough team to ship amazing work.

Responsibilities

• Build, and maintain features across our CRM+ platform using C#, .NET, and SQL Server

• Influence best practice patterns for QA, CICD, and product architecture
• Troubleshoot and resolve production issues with a sense of urgency and ownership
• Contribute to technical strategy and help evolve our architecture as the platform scales

You Must Have

• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, with deep expertise in C#/.NET
• 3+ years of experience with Vue; React or Angular experience transfers well
• Strong experience building and operating production systems on Azure
• Solid experience with SQL Server - schema design, query optimization, and performance tuning

• Excellent communication skills and comfort working cross-functionally with Product, Design, and Customer Success
• A track record of owning projects end-to-end, from design through deployment and monitoring

What Makes You Stand Out

• Proven experience in high-growth SaaS software
• History of using AI tools to meaningfully speed up delivery without sacrificing quality
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines and frequent (multiple times per week) deployment cadence
• A bias toward simplicity and pragmatism over unnecessary complexity
• Comfort giving and receiving direct, kind feedback
