Don't worry if you don't check all the boxes -- apply anyway! We're focused on hiring the right people, not just the "right" resume. It's not about what you've done elsewhere; it's all about what you're capable of doing here.

The Work You'll Do:

At Sovos, we're investing heavily in modernizing our STAT platform - the statutory reporting solution trusted by insurance companies navigating complex regulatory requirements across a rapidly evolving landscape. As a Senior Software Engineer, you'll serve as a technical authority and force multiplier for the team: setting direction, driving modernization, and leading our adoption of AI-assisted development practices. This isn't just about writing great code — it's about making the engineers around you better, and moving the entire team to a higher level of capability.

More specifically, you will:

• Serve as the technical authority for the STAT product, owning design decisions on the most complex features and integrations
• Lead architectural initiatives to decompose monolithic components into scalable, maintainable services
• Set and enforce code quality standards through proactive pull request reviews and design guidance
• Design for production realities — scalability, parallelization, and multithreading — not just functionality
• Collaborate with the Sovos Architecture team to align STAT's technical direction with global platform strategy
• Champion and actively use AI-assisted development tools (Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Devin) and help the broader team integrate them into daily workflows — from code generation and PR review to test coverage and defect management
• Customize and configure AI agents for STAT-specific workflows and establish team norms for responsible, effective AI use in a compliance-sensitive context
• Track and communicate the productivity and quality impact of AI adoption across the team
• Actively mentor engineers at all levels — finding teachable moments, delivering direct feedback, and investing in others' growth
• Take accountability for team outcomes: when the team is struggling, help diagnose it and rally people around a path forward
• Participate in sprint planning, design sessions, and roadmap discussions as a key voice on both technical quality and team capacity

What We Need From You

• 10+ years of software engineering experience with demonstrated principal or staff-level scope in recent roles
• Strong proficiency in C# / .NET and solid SQL Server skills including query optimization, schema design, and complex data models
• Experience with MVC patterns, WinForms, and React for modern front-end development
• Fluency with Azure DevOps for CI/CD, source control, and work management
• Demonstrated experience leading or contributing to monolith-to-services decomposition, with comfort in domain-driven design and API-first thinking
• Hands-on experience with AI coding tools (Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Devin, or comparable platforms) and a proven ability to help teams adopt and get measurable value from them — not just personal proficiency
• A genuine investment in the people around you — you measure your own success in part by how much better your teammates become
• Proactive communicator who raises flags early, keeps stakeholders informed, and connects cross-team dependencies before they become blockers
• Emotional maturity and self-awareness to handle ambiguity, conflict, and pressure without losing perspective
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience
• Experience in a SaaS product environment preferred
• Due to client contractual obligations, the successful candidate will be asked to clear a background check and drug test upon hire
