Strategic Employment

Software Engineer

Middletown, RI
Full Time
Paid
  • Responsibilities

    A long-standing, nationally recognized financial services company is making a major investment in modernizing its core technology. They’re stable, profitable, and operate at meaningful scale—but their next chapter requires a shift from a large C#/.NET monolith to a modern, service-oriented, serverless architecture.

    This is a key engineering hire who will play a central role in that transformation.

    What You’ll Do

    • Lead the design and development of new microservices in Node.js, helping break apart a mission-critical monolith.
    • Build serverless applications and event-driven systems on AWS.
    • Collaborate with product, operations, and senior leadership to translate business workflows into scalable technical solutions.
    • Improve reliability, performance, and observability across the platform.
    • Contribute to architectural decisions, coding standards, and modernization strategy.
    • Support and gradually deprecate legacy .NET components as new services come online.

    What Makes This Role Unique

    • Stability + transformation: You get the security of an established company with the excitement of a major rebuild.
    • High visibility: This is not “one of many engineers.” You’re a core contributor shaping the next decade of the platform.
    • Modern stack: Greenfield microservices, serverless patterns, and a chance to influence tooling and architecture.
    • Real impact: Your work directly affects internal teams, customers, and the company’s ability to scale.

    What You Bring

    • 4+ years of professional software engineering experience.
    • Strong backend fundamentals and experience with Node.js (or willingness to ramp quickly).
    • Familiarity with C#/.NET is a plus, especially for navigating and extracting logic from the monolith.
    • Experience with AWS, serverless frameworks, or event-driven architectures.
    • Solid understanding of distributed systems, API design, and cloud-native patterns.
    • A builder’s mindset—comfortable working through ambiguity and shaping new systems.

    Why This Role Matters

    This company is entering a multi-year modernization effort that will define its future. They’re looking for an engineer who wants ownership, technical influence, and the chance to help architect a modern platform from the ground up—without the volatility of a startup.
