The Opportunity
Most engineering roles ask you to maintain what exists. This one asks you to reshape it.
At Embrace, you'll step into a lead engineering role where your decisions have real reach - across platforms serving 1M+ students, 4M+ patient visits, 450+ financial institutions, 16% of the Fortune 500 and 60% of all US states.
You will partner with Embrace's AI/Technology Group to shift the engineering culture from traditional R&D toward a forward-deployed, AI-native mindset — where shipping quality software faster is the norm, not the exception. Your job is to make it faster, smarter, and build for what's next.
Position Overview
This role is within a portfolio company in ourEducation Group. It combines hands-on development, technical leadership, and architectural guidance across both legacy and modern application stacks — actively driving development with a team using modern practices and AI-native engineering tools.
- Modernize without breaking things.You'll lead the evolution of legacy applications — ASP.NET Web Forms, Classic ASP — toward cleaner, more modular ASP.NET MVC and .NET Core architectures. Not a rip-and-replace; a thoughtful, customer-stable progression.
- Build new products that matter.Design and ship new applications and services using C#, ASP.NET, Angular, and RESTful APIs. You'll work with AI-native tools — Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, GitHub Copilot, JetBrains AI, and Lovable — to accelerate development without sacrificing quality.
- Own the data layer.Design SQL Server schemas, write efficient queries, tune performance, and build integrations that connect internal and external systems reliably.
- Code and drive change. Drive design discussions, conduct meaningful code reviews, mentor engineers, and translate business needs into architecture that lasts. You'll work directly with product managers and stakeholders — your voice shapes what gets built and why.
- Work close to the metal. Our products run in private-cloud and co-location environments. You'll collaborate with infrastructure teams on deployments, monitoring, and keeping things stable in production.
Requirements
Who you are
You have 8+ years of software development experience and have been in a senior or lead role long enough to know what good engineering culture looks like — and how to build it. You're comfortable navigating legacy codebases without judgment, and excited about using AI tooling to move faster.
Your toolkit includes C#, ASP.NET, Angular, RESTful APIs, SQL Server, and either ASP.NET MVC or .NET Core. Bonus points if you've worked with Classic ASP/VBScript or traditional data center environments.
What matters most: you take ownership, you communicate clearly, and you're energized by the idea of transforming how a team builds software — not just what it builds.
